City led through Josko Gvardiol's 36th-minute header but Matheus Nunes's defensive lapse conceded an 88th-minute penalty, which Bruno Fernandes converted, before Amad Diallo's winner.
Guardiola said: "Today we have to win. I'm the boss, I'm the manager and I'm not good enough. I have to find solutions and so far I haven't. That's the reality."
The manager was asked if he still believes he can turn it around. "I want it, desperately. But eight out of 11? I'm here to try and will try again and again. That is the reality.
"In a big club, when you lose eight in 11 something wrong is happening. I can say the schedule is tough, injuries to players but 3-0 against Feyenoord [after 74 minutes] and we draw the game. Is it injuries or the schedule? No."
