His side face another huge test in the Champions League on Wednesday night when we play Italian giants Juventus in the Champions League at 20:00 (UK).
Injuries are still an issue with Phil Foden and Mateo Kovacic travelling to Turin but unlikely to feature in the sixth game of the new league format.
Guardiola wants to see his players go back to having more of the possession and controlling the game believing it will bring back confidence.
And he says the squad know what has been successful in the recent seasons when we have won so many trophies.
“What will save us is the way we play,” he said in his pre-match news conference. “It is the consequence of not playing in the way we have to play.
“What we have to do is simple: our strength is the ball. That’s our success because we run like a desperate team when we don’t have the ball but with the ball we are incredibly patient. We make them run and run.
“We attack too quickly and don’t do things at the right tempo and with that every team is better than us.
“We need to get the confidence back for the simple things, get the ball and pass the ball. Simple things we will do better and then get the confidence.
“You get confidence when you make a thousand, millions passes and it helps us to be who we are. I know when we are able to do it in the situations like we had the last month.”
