I have my thoughts,\u201d Guardiola said. \u201cI\u2019m stable in good moments and bad moments. I try to find a way to do it. I\u2019m incredibly honest. If we play good, we play good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dressing room is stable. Win we are happy, lose we are not. What can we do? Feel sorry for ourselves. No, we improve it and go forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been in this situation this month many times. Tomorrow recover, prepare for United with our people, insist in the good things we do and try to be better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the form slump, which is by far the worst of his managerial career, Guardiola said that he was not facing his biggest challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy biggest challenge is to get results to continue to work in the first seasons [at\u00a0Barcelona]. It\u2019s life, it happens, sometimes you have a bad period.
