“Pep Guardiola Hits Back at Liverpool Fans with Fiery Gesture After ‘Sacked in the Morning’ Chant”
“Pep Guardiola Fires Back at Liverpool Fans with Sharp Gesture After ‘Sacked in the Morning’ Chant”
Pep Guardiola reminded both Liverpool and Manchester City fans of his past dominance as manager of the Etihad-based club, particularly around the full-time whistle at Anfield.
The Merseysiders extended their impressive streak of form, with seven consecutive wins since October 30, securing a 2-0 victory over the reigning Premier League champions.
The significance of the result was evident when Arne Slot’s counterpart responded petulantly to a playful chant directed at him in the final moments of the match.
“Pep Guardiola’s Fury Erupts Again at Anfield”
Even considering that Guardiola has now suffered seven consecutive defeats, it would be utterly ridiculous to suggest that his position at Manchester City is in any way at risk.
Remarkably, though, the Liverpool fans’ chant of “You’re getting sacked in the morning” seemed to genuinely affect the City boss.
In response, the 53-year-old held up six fingers to the Main Stand, symbolizing the six league titles he’s won with the Sky Blues. Clearly, the playful banter struck a nerve, as Guardiola was seen repeating the gesture to the away fans after the match concluded.

“Did Pep Guardiola Just Reveal His True Emotions?”
While larger point deficits have been overcome in the past, there’s no doubt City will depart Anfield with at least some concerns about their chances of keeping the title.
Though the league standings can change rapidly, Liverpool have shown they can rise to any challenge this season.
Back-to-back victories over two of Europe’s top teams, Real Madrid and Manchester City, are not to be taken lightly.
It may still be early in Arne Slot’s tenure on Merseyside, but he is certainly proving his commitment to winning right from his summer move from Feyenoord.
Could Pep Guardiola’s emotional reaction at full-time be a sign that the growing sentiment in the Premier League—that the title might return to Anfield this season—is not entirely unfounded?
