PEP GUARDIOLA is not worrying about his side’s four-match winless run.
The Manchester City boss said: “Managers in other parts of the club have to think short and long term but the manager thinks day by day.
“We are judged on what happens today, so I’m thinking about Southampton.
“Of course we have to win because it is four games without a win and we need that.
“But, at the same time, we were able to win 10 times in a row, so we are now able win four, five or six times.”
Southampton were also involved in European action in the week, losing 1-0 to Inter Milan at the San Siro.
Until then Saints had been enjoying a good run, going seven games unbeaten.
And Guardiola has been impressed by what he has seen of them.
The Spaniard said: “I saw the game against Inter Milan.
“They played amazingly – much better than Inter – but Inter shot just once and won.
“Southampton created six, seven clear chances and lost but I was impressed.
“I saw how good they are.”
