Manchester City endured a disappointing 0-0 draw in the Manchester derby, struggling against a disciplined Manchester United defense. Coach Pep Guardiola expressed the need for patience as his team aims to reclaim their form while competing for a Champions League spot. City created limited chances, with only a 0.49 expected goals rating. Guardiola acknowledged some positives but emphasized the need for improvement in attacking positions. Despite a lackluster performance, there is a focus on unity and resilience among the players as they navigate the remaining games of the season.
It will take time. The players gave everything today. There are a few things I'm happy with what I saw, but now, we need to achieve the target of qualifying for the Champions League, then next season is next season.
We were really good in our intensity. In those terms, we are satisfied for the way we have done it. We have the control, but not in the right spots to hurt them in the first half; a little better in the first minutes of the second half.
