Pep Guardiola conceded Manchester City were well below their best as the Premier League champions suffered a shock 2-0 defeat against Wolves on Sunday that left them eight points behind leaders Liverpool.
Guardiola's side were rocked by two late goals from Wolves winger Adama Traore at the Etihad Stadium, and City boss Guardiola admitted his treble winners lacked their usual sharpness and paid the price for letting nerves get the better of them with their second defeat of the season.
"It was not our best day. We let them run twice, got nervous a little bit and our process to create chances was not good," Guardiola said.
"We were not organised and lost balls in positions we could not lose them in.
"We had problems on the counter-attack in the end and it was a bad day."
