I quite liked Pep Guardiola’s six fingers gesture to the fans. It was just banter, I quite liked it. There is a mutual respect there. He knows, he’s never been into a stadium in the world and witnessed an atmosphere like Anfield. He has said that himself. At the end he clapped the fans and they applauded him back.

Pep Guardiola said “I didn’t expect it from the people from Liverpool” after he was goaded that he was going to be sacked during Manchester City’s 2-0 defeat at Anfield.

A beaten Pep Guardiola taunted goading Liverpool fans with a reference to his haul of six Premier League titles as Manchester City were dealt another major blow in their hunt for a seventh.
