Pep Guardiola has urged his Manchester City players to remember the good times this season after their crushing 4-0 loss to Everton.It was the Spaniard’s heaviest league defeat in his entire managerial career and believes his side’s inability to finish was behind the loss.“We created enough chances in the first half to score,” Guardiola told Sky Sports.“After what happened we were not able to score and they had one chance and scored.

“They scored straight after the second half and that is tough mentally for the players.

“The consequence of the game is an example of many that has happened this season. It is football. In football you sometimes don’t need to do many things to score.“They arrive once and score a goal. It is not today it is almost all the season and it is tough for the players to handle that situation.“Of course we can do better. It is awful for my players. It is normal to live these kind of situations sometimes.“I said to the players be positive because they have made fantastic things in this season but didn’t always get what we deserve. I think all managers can say this, though.”
