It is by far the worst run of Guardiola's glorious managerial career which has seen him win 18 trophies at City alone - but he has promised to stick by the players and fight on.
"I've lived better before than now," said the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss, who was subjected to taunts from Liverpool fans that he would be sacked.
