City boss backs strikers

by Setanta Staff , 04 February 2012

Roberto Mancini has backed his strikers to find their feet again and fire Manchester City on in their title quest.


City's front three have netted a hefty 43 goals this season but are struggling at the moment; Sergio Aguero, Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko are all currently having a tough time.

Aguero has not scored in five, Balotelli is currently serving a four-game suspension and Dzeko has spurned a number of recent chances.

Mancini said: "People were saying how many goals City could score - 100, 200 - but this is impossible.

"There are some moments when you score three or four goals but others when you can't score any goals.

"It is impossible to score three or four goals every game for 38 games.

"Probably when Sergio, Mario, Dzeko start to score goals - that moment will probably change our situation."
