Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he blames himself for the club’s awful run of form.<\/b><\/p>\n

City, who have won the Premier League title for the past four years and in six of the past seven, are 14 points behind leaders Liverpool.<\/p>\n

A 2-0 win at Leicester on Sunday was only their second victory in 14 matches.<\/p>\n

It is the worst run of a hugely successful managerial career taking in spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

“There are many, many things [involved in being a manager] and I missed something – something I am not doing well,” said Guardiola, who has been at the club for nine seasons.<\/p>\n

“In the end, when you lose a lot of games it is an incredible responsibility for the manager to take. There is something the team needs and confidence and I was not able to do it.<\/p>\n

“The call is on me first, it’s not the players. They naturally drop a little bit and that is normal. It happened a little bit last season as well.”<\/p>\n

City have had slow starts to seasons before – and trailed the leaders by six points or more in each of the past four title-winning campaigns – but they have never been this bad.<\/p>\n

“With this consistency [of results] I should have found it, and that is why we’re in this position,” Guardiola said.<\/p>\n

“I blame [myself]. It’s not to say, ‘oh how nice is Pep’ – it’s the truth. I lead that group of players and I could not lift them. This is the reality.”<\/p>\n

City have suffered many injuries this season – including to Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder Rodri – which Guardiola has repeatedly highlighted.<\/p>\n

“We were the only unbeaten team in Europe [until 30 October] and top of the league, but immediately we went down, for injuries, many things we’ve talked about,” he said.<\/p>\n

“But, even with that, I should have found a way to get better results.”<\/p>\n

The champions host West Ham at 15:00 GMT on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
