After a 4-0 loss to Tottenham, City face a tough challenge to get back on track.
Walker’s warning ahead of Liverpool clash
After City’s heavy loss to Tottenham, Walker was clear that City cannot afford another poor performance. “We can’t put in a performance like that or we’ll get walked over,” he said.
With the Reds sitting above City in the league, Walker knows that the upcoming game at Anfield will be a tough test. If Liverpool win against Southampton and next weekend against City, they would be a commanding 11 points ahead of Pep Guardiola’s side.
Walker’s confidence in the team’s ability to bounce back
Despite the recent struggles, Walker remains optimistic about City’s ability to bounce back. He pointed to the team’s past success and the strong bond between players as reasons for confidence.
“I’ve spent eight years with this group,” he said. “We’ve lost confidence as a team, but we know what we’re capable of. If we get a win, we get our confidence back.”
Guardiola’s reflection on City’s title hopes
Pep Guardiola also shared his thoughts on City’s title race after the defeat. He acknowledged that a loss to Liverpool next weekend could be devastating for their hopes of retaining the Premier League title.
“In the end, if we don’t win [the league] it’s because we don’t deserve it,” he said. Guardiola emphasized that while expectations are high, the team must focus on winning their upcoming games, starting with their Champions League tie against Feyenoord.
Focus on the upcoming games
With little time to recover, City must regroup quickly. Walker has emphasized the importance of the Champions League clash against Feyenoord before their showdown with Liverpool.
A strong performance in both games could help restore City’s confidence and turn their season around.
