Manchester City manager, Roberto Mancini has admitted that he is disappointed with his sides performance against West Brom, as the failed to score a goal in the game, despite having numerous goal scoring opportunities.
Heading into the game against West Brom, City were believed to come back with all three points, considering how lethal the team had been all season long.
At the same time, West Brom didn’t have the best of defences in the league and a win for City seemed like a very obvious prediction.
Nonetheless, following ninety minutes which saw City fail to score and ended up revealing just how good the West Brom defence can be at times, both the teams shared the points in the game.
Mancini is quite disappointed with the result, but admitted that it was impossible for his side to win, given how West Brom played all their players in their half. As a result, there was no space to work with and it saw the match end as a draw.
The Manchester City manager is quoted to have said: “It’s impossible to win, we tried”
“It was difficult because West Brom played with everyone behind the ball, we couldn’t find a solution and we needed to score quickly in the second-half.”
The manager also eels that his side need to start making better use of the ball, since they had a few chances, but failed to score. He also feels that if his side has capitalized on their chances, they could have easily taken away all three points from the
game.
“For this we need to improve in this situation, for when they get men behind the ball we need to improve. Maybe in the first-half we were to slow, but we had a chance and if we had scored the game would have changed.”
City’s lead at the top of the table has now been cut down and they are level on points with United. The only thing keeping them in top spot is their goal difference.
Should City fail to pick themselves up, they could see the title slip out of their hands and into United’s.
