Manchester City has been on a losing streak for five games, with their latest defeat being a 4-0 loss at home against Tottenham Hotspur. Pep Guardiola, the team's manager, admitted that the team is struggling defensively and their confidence has taken a hit. Despite this, he remains optimistic and insists that they will bounce back.

Guardiola pointed out that the team is not playing as freely as they used to, but he understands that this is a tough time for them. He believes that their struggles in transition, especially against Spurs' counterattacks, have been a major issue. However, he is confident that the team will overcome this difficult period.

The loss to Tottenham is the worst under Guardiola's coaching, with four goals conceded. City had 58 percent possession and 23 shot attempts, but they couldn't score. They are now five points behind Liverpool and just one point ahead of three other teams.

Guardiola acknowledges that the team needs to stand together and not blame each other. He believes that their ability to stand up after failures will define them. Despite the setbacks, he has faith in his players and is determined to help them get back to their winning ways.
