Man City players still believe in Guardiola, says Foden

Phil Foden insists Manchester City’s players still believe in Pep Guardiola despite the painful loss against Manchester United that extended their dismal streak.

Guardiola’s side have lost eight of their past 11 games in all competitions following the devastating 2-1 defeat in the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Guardiola said after the game that he is “not good enough” as the worst crisis of his managerial career deepened.

But City forward Foden is adamant the Spaniard, who recently signed a new two-year contract, retains the support of his beleaguered squad.

“We are still nowhere near our level, but I still believe that we are playing good enough to get points and results,” he said.
