Speaking after the loss to Spurs, Guardiola said:
“We need to regroup and clear our minds. The season is long, and many things can still happen.
“Before today’s game, I didn’t know what to expect, and the same applies to our match at Anfield. This situation is new for us, and everyone is aware of that.
“We struggled more without the ball today. I’m not sure how many chances we created, but our approach to the game was there.”
