Scathing Pep Guardiola blasts careless Man City players for Crystal Palace draw
16.12.2023 - 20:11 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Pep Guardiola blasted his Manchester City players for carelessly falling short of the title-winning standards they have set.
Goals from Jack Grealish and Rico Lewis gave the Premier League champions a 2-0 advantage at home to Crystal Palace that they retained until the 75th minute. However, slack defending allowed Jean-Phillipe Mateta to get one back for the understrength Eagles before Phil Foden needlessly gave away a penalty in injury time and Michael Olise stepped up to earn a point.
City have now dropped nine points by conceding goals after the 80th minute in the Premier League, with late goals making up 30 per cent of their total for the season. Guardiola thought his team had played well for most of the game but in a scathing verdict said they did not deserve to win a game if they could not see it out like they have so many times before.

"At the end, be patient and don't concede transitions and don't concede like we have done in seven or eight years in these type of games," he said. "But of course in the first action they run and score a goal and in the last minute we give them [a penalty]. In the 18-yard box you have to be careful and we weren't. We don't deserve to win.
"It's not bad luck, it's deserved. We give away two points. When you give away this penalty, you deserve it. You see the chances we created and conceded it's quite similar to all this season apart from the Chelsea game - but we are not able to close the games. That is the feeling."
