What Guardiola said
“What should I change? We are big believers in the process and the fundamentals we have to do,” Pep started. “Injured players have to come back to their best form, players who have played a lot of minutes because of the injuries need rest.
“One good result can change our mind and we believe deeply that when we are winning a lot this will pass and right now this shall pass. Nothing is eternal. The moment we start winning again, I was thinking we will start to lose games. It’s unusual basically because this team won a lot during many years.

"In this situation, we have to go more direct to our principles, change less than ever because at the end we had 26 shots against Spurs. We had more expected goals than them, we created a lot of chances.
"But there are departments where we’re not strong enough and that’s why when we lose in certain situations they’re stronger than us and we have to run backwards because our four central defenders are not there.
"They are still not ready because they are injured. One day we’re going to win a game and our mind will be clear. I hope that will happen on Tuesday, if not Sunday. The desire is there and we’re going to try.”
