Pep Guardiola did not deny wanting to see Liverpool go down. However, the Spanish manager chose to prepare his team against Everton in the next match.

“The most important thing is to be ourselves. We don’t recognize ourselves at Newcastle. I think the players understand that. Today we have returned,” Guardiola said as reported by the club’s official website.

“What we need to do now is to try to show why we’re called a good team. Against Newcastle we scored, but then we didn’t do it again. We didn’t fight for it and didn’t try to score the second goal.”

“I could not do anything at the match. So, unfortunately we did not get a holiday for one week. Now, we are preparing to travel to Goodison Park.”

“I can’t deny hoping West Ham United to beat Liverpool, but the Reds will also be more happy if Arsenal beat us. That is normal. However, I am not affected by that, all we can do is win the next match,” said Guardiola.
