Guardiola: Bravo must accept criticism but he's not solely to blame for Man City's woes

The Catalan insists the Citizens need to sharpen up in both boxes if they want to improve their Premier League position

Pep Guardiola believes Claudio Bravo must accept criticism over his form but does not feel the Chile goalkeeper is the main reason for Manchester City's faltering title challenge.

Bravo's performances have come under scrutiny in the aftermath of last weekend's 4-0 defeat at Everton, where the hosts scored with each of their shots on target over the 90 minutes.

The former Real Sociedad and Barcelona keeper's standing with the City faithful is further complicated by the fact Guardiola jettisoned fan favourite and England number one Joe Hart in favour of him.
