The Spaniard made the statement at his press conference prior to the top flight encounter against Everton on Thursday afternoon.
Manchester are currently sitting on the 7th spot; and clinched just one (1) win in twelve (12) encounters in all competitions.
Guardiola’s Manchester City will face Everton in the Premier League 2024/25 match at Etihad Stadium on Thursday 26 December, 2024 at 13:30 (WAT).
At his press conference ahead of the match, Guardiola said:
On Injury Updates…
“We train this afternoon, and then we will see how many players we have available… I didn’t talk with the doctors [about John Stones] but if he could not play the second half at Villa Park it is because he wasn’t ready. We’ll see.”
On the Cityzens returning to winning ways…
“It is about many little details or some big details that make us not as good as we were. But we have another opportunity on Boxing Day. We have players coming back and at a certain time, we will be better.”
On Haaland…
“It is about us, not just one player… when you have problems at the back and middle, it is all about the team, not just one player… Erling [Haaland] is so important for us, will be important for us and has been and we need to use him better.”
