Jose Mourinho responded harshly to Pep Guardiola's comment he made a few days ago regarding the Portuguese manager.

Guardiola suffered his fourth Premier League defeat of the season in a 2-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield Stadium.

During the game, Liverpool fans were heard chanting at the Spaniard, “He will be sacked in the morning.”

The Manchester City manager then replied by raising six fingers to the crowd, which meant he had won six Premier League titles.

“We are together in those situations. To make our fans know that we are much, much better than the people that sing that [Liverpool fans singing sacked in the morning].

“It [the gesture] was just to make our fans feel that what we have done is extraordinary. I want to prove that we are an incredible football club. 

“Sooner or later it's going to be the end but I will try to extend as much as possible for the best of my club.”

Meanwhile, Man City returned to winning ways against Nottingham Forest, defeating them 3-0 after four straight losses.
