Gary Neville highlights reason for Pep Guardiola’s poor Anfield record

Gary Neville believes Manchester City?s poor record away against Liverpool can be explained by their failure to handle the Anfield ?washing machine?.
Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp?s latest Premier League encounter saw their sides play out a breathless encounter in the latest twist in the title race.
John Stones gave the Citizens the lead, only for Alexis Mac Allister to level the game from the penalty spot just after the break, with both teams squandering countless opportunities to win the game late on.
The result saw Arsenal remain top of the table after their late win over Brentford on Saturday evening but the result also extended Guardiola?s lacklustre record at Anfield.
The Spaniard has now visited Anfield on nine occasions since Klopp has been in charge but has managed just one single victory back in February 2021 – and that was during Covid.
Despite their incredible league record, Neville said he was surprised that Guardiola and his side are yet to learn how to keep the Anfield crowd at bay and kill off the game as early as possible.
?I said at half-time that City could regret the way in which they approached the last 15 minutes of the first half,? he said on his Sky Sports podcast. ?I don?t know why they do it here, I don?t know why they?ve not learnt.
