The defending champion had to return from a 1-3 delay in front of Newcastle in the third stage to get a draw, and overturned his two-goal deficit against his guest Crystal Palace to win 4-2 last week, thanks to a hat-trick from his Norwegian star Erling Halland.

The Spanish coach said on the sidelines of the match against his guest, Nottingham Forest, on Wednesday: "We should try to avoid that. On the one hand it is a good thing because in the past, when we were late, coming back was always difficult. We proved last season and this season that we can do it (come back), but we have to try to avoid it as much as possible".

continued Guardiola: "We have to manage this issue. It is risky. One day we won’t be able to go back".

Guardiola was asked whether the Manchester City Conceives more goals because it has become a more offensive team this season with the arrival of Hollandhe replied: "Quite the opposite. The farther you are from your goal, the safer you are".

He continued: "We have proven this in 6 years. We conceded quite a few goals when we played that way on our way to the league title. We will make adjustments, it is normal in this period. You can’t always score 4 or 5 goals to win a match over a long period. We must be better".

City is second in the league behind Arsenal, after 3 wins and a draw in its first 4 matches.
