Pep Guardiola speaks out on the 11-point gap between his side and Liverpool

Manchester City are preparing to host Manchester United on December 7. Ahead of the game, Pep Guardiola was asked about the 11-point gap between his side and Liverpool, to which he replied: “I would like to discover the reason for this big gap with Liverpool,” he said. “One is, no doubt, the quality of the opponent. I repeat, one lost game in almost 60, the numbers are incredible. “I expected that [City’s performance level would dip] at the beginning of the season, after back-to-back titles.” “When I review all the games we’ve played, even Norwich, we created [around] 20 shots. I know the stats, we are the best team by far at creating chances and the best team by far at conceding few. Much better than the opponents, but we are 11 points behind," added Guardiola. “So something has happened. I tried to discover. Sometimes it’s human; we can do better. We try to improve the next game. For example, in the last game [at Burnley], we scored an incredible four goals. But sometimes we miss goals from one metre and in the last game we shot in the corner from Gabriel [Jesus], two from out of the box from Riyad [Mahrez] and Rodri, and so sometimes it’s difficult to find an explanation. But that’s the truth – we’re 11 points behind. There’s something we missed and, honestly, I don’t know.”  Currently Manchester City sit 3rd in the Premier League with 32 points. source - The Guardian
