I think about how we\u2019re going to play better tomorrow, be more consistent, be more difficult to beat and the things that we need to tweak and how we can use our players in the best possible ways to win. It\u2019s still a huge marathon ahead of us.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The encouragement comes from watching the (my) team play, watching them behave every day and how hungry and willing they are to approach every training session.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/04\/16\/78560211-12823973-image-a-2_1701706396483.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mikel Arteta claims Man City\u2019s recent dip in performance in the Premier League has not crossed his mind<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/04\/16\/78560175-12823973-image-a-1_1701706391485.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Premier League champions have dropped six points from their last three league games<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That\u2019s what gives me encouragement.
