It was defence vs attack in the second half, as City did all they could in attempting to find a breakthrough.Sam Johnston was forced into making a couple of superb saves late-on. But West Brom held on to pick up a valuable point on the road.This result leaves City sixth in the Premier League after their second successive draw. They are five points off Tottenham and Liverpool at the top of the league.Speaking with Amazon Prime Video post-match, as cited by BBC Sport, Guardiola insisted that his side did ‘everything’ but score a second goal:“We didn’t create much in the first half, they had a lot of people back, we struggled to win the second balls. In the second half, we did everything we just couldn’t score.“We created enough to win the game, 26 shots I think, you just have to put the ball in, We are struggling with that. We have to be optimistic.“You don’t have to be so clever to see the gap between this year and previous years [in our results]. It is not confidence, Sergio Aguero is injured for four months, but we create chances, we are there we just can’t score.“It is not about the points [to the top of the league], you have to win games like this. We know it, we drop points. These are the ones you have to win. It’s not far away to the top of the league but you have to beat West Brom at home. There are a lot of games left.“This situation is weird for everyone. We deserved to win the game but we didn’t win it.”
