"I understand how nice - is it nine points or three points - this kind of stuff is. That's okay, but that does not equal winning titles or arriving in the latter stages to fight to win titles. Every time in the last month and last few weeks, when I go before the games for a flash interview, always if you lose, you are losing everything, and you are going to disappear from planet Earth and this kind of stuff."
"What I'm saying is what we have to do to beat Fulham, what we have to do to be better and to be closer to repeating the first half from Anfield, and not the second. What is the reason why, in the second half, we are still dropping our performance level? Not three, four, five or six [points], because if we don't do that we will not win, maybe against Fulham, or maybe it'll be against Newcastle or maybe in the next game at Leeds."
"It looked like City's title hopes had taken a potentially fatal blow on Sunday, when Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning free-kick gave Liverpool a late 1-0 lead against them at Anfield. However, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland scored to flip the script, with Szoboszlai later being sent off for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity - a decision that also meant Rayan Cherki saw a memorable goal from inside his own half, which would have made it 3-1, disallowed."
Manchester City can move to within three points of Arsenal with a win over Fulham while Arsenal do not play until Thursday. City overturned a late deficit at Anfield as Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland scored after Dominik Szoboszlai's free-kick had put Liverpool ahead; Szoboszlai was later sent off and Rayan Cherki had a long-range goal disallowed. Opta gives Arsenal a 90.5% title probability and City an 8.2% chance after the comeback. Guardiola insists the squad must concentrate on immediate performance improvements, especially avoiding second-half drop-offs, rather than point tallies.
