City players still back beleaguered Guardiola, says Foden
China DailyUnder-pressure Man City boss Pep Guardiola still has the support of his players. REUTERS LONDON — Phil Foden insists Manchester City's players still believe in Pep Guardiola, despite the painful loss to Manchester United that extended its dismal streak. Undone by the kind of dismal defending that has become a regular feature in its shocking decline, City conceded twice in the closing minutes, as United dealt another blow to the Premier League champion's fading hopes of a fifth successive title. "We are still nowhere near our level, but I still believe that we are playing good enough to get points and results," he said. "It's about keeping our mentality strong throughout the whole 90 minutes, and we're not doing that at the moment," he said.
