Pep Guardiola has hit back at critics after Manchester City's slow start to the season.
The Sky Blues are 13th in the Premier League after beginning the campaign with two wins, two draws and one loss.
Speaking after Tuesday's convincing win over Marseille in the Champions League, Guardiola said some people just want to see the club fail.
"We have to accept the criticism," Guardiola told BT Sport. "We play every three days, when you win it's good but if you don't people want to destroy everything.
"But it's about the chairman and everyone else understanding. Part of the criticism was right, but you've got to accept it. It's part of our job.
"It's about where we've come from in the last month, with lack of preparation, injuries and Covid-19 but the Champions League is in a good place now. I'm sure we're going to find that consistency."
