Pep Guardiola has warned Manchester Metropolis’s Premier League title rivals there’s extra to come back from his crew after seeing them roll over Newcastle with out getting out of second gear.
Metropolis head into Christmas three factors away from Liverpool and 6 higher off than Chelsea following a 4-0 win at St James’ Park, regardless of Guardiola being lower than impressed with their first-half show.
It was their thirty fourth league victory of 2021, eclipsing the earlier report set by Liverpool in 1982, though the Spaniard is satisfied there’s additional enchancment in his squad.
Requested what that stated about his crew, he replied: “Our consistency.
“I want to win titles, however once you break a report from a protracted, very long time in the past, in a calendar 12 months, probably the most victories, you’re constant. You win video games and win video games and win video games, and that is probably the most valuable worth this crew has.
“However it’s a must to renew, it’s a must to construct once more and construct once more to keep away from performances like the primary half, to do it higher.
“However sure, compliments – however someday, will probably be damaged. We’ve had 100 factors, possibly someday one crew will get extra factors, however they should do properly, very well as a result of it’s not straightforward to do it.

“I’m blissful for the fellows, for all of the membership, they need to be pleased with that, not more than that. That’s why immediately after we break a report and we performed the primary half (like we did), I prefer it as a result of I’m conscious nonetheless of the margin that we now have to be a greater crew, and we’re engaged on that.”
The very last thing Newcastle wanted was to present the reigning champions a serving to hand, however they did simply that with lower than 5 minutes gone.
Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka needlessly conceded a nook and he and Ciaran Clark then left the ball to one another to permit Ruben Dias to go the guests in entrance.
Joao Cancelo’s luxurious strike made it 2-0 earlier than the break and though the Magpies have been aggrieved to not be awarded a penalty after keeper Ederson had careered into Ryan Fraser, second- half strikes from Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling left them trailing a distant second.
Guardiola stated: “(It was) a great end result, an distinctive end result from a not excellent efficiency in any respect, particularly within the first half. We have been fortunate for the purpose we scored at the start of the sport with the defender from Newcastle’s misunderstanding and confusion.
“The second purpose from Joao was sensible, it belongs to him particularly. However the way in which we performed within the first half was one of many poorest of the season.”
Struggling Newcastle might have been made to pay for self-inflicted wounds as soon as once more, however head coach Eddie Howe was left bemused by referee Martin Atkinson’s determination to not award a penalty for Ederson’s problem on Fraser.

He stated: “I’m not the kind of supervisor that appears for excuses or seems responsible the officers in these conditions, however once more, I feel it’s one other clear, clear second, a giant second within the recreation, that’s gone towards us.
“I’m shaking my head at it as a result of the goalkeeper is uncontrolled, he’s wiped Ryan out, it’s a stonewall penalty for me. How VAR hasn’t intervened or how they haven’t come to that call, it’s a very unusual one.”
