Pep Guardiola's three furious reactions during Man City vs Everton draw speak volumes
Share:
Pep Guardiola was put through the emotions once again by his Manchester City side - whose winless run was extended. Bernardo Silva put the champions ahead before Ilian Ndiaye bought the Toffees level before half-time - which was the end of the goals at the Etihad. It means City remain outside the top four with their only win since late October coming against Nottingham Forest several weeks ago.
Guardiola is struggling to find a winning formula in Manchester, casting doubt over whether they will even make the Champions League. Any hopes of winning the title are effectively gone with the former Barcelona boss hoping to salvage the season. If that is to happen he'll need his top players - the likes of Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden - to rediscover their top form.
The draw with Everton highlighted the issues within this current City side, who are struggling to break teams down and equally have been unable to hold onto a lead in recent months. The Portuguese playmaker put the hosts ahead when his scuffed shot found its way past Jordan Pickford early on. The goal was deserved following their early domination and the former Monaco man then had a chance to double the City lead.
Phil Foden found himself with time and space and played the ball perfectly into Bernardo's path but the 30-year-old chose to take his shot on first time, despite being able to take a touch if necessary. His effort, with the outside of his foot, fly past Pickford's post with the Everton No 1 choosing to not even dive for the effort, which left Guardiola with his head in his hands.
