Mancini slams boozing stars

(30-10-2010) Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has slammed three of his players following a raucous night on the town. English stars Gareth Barry, Adam Johnson and Joe Hart were spotted on a bender on Monday night by The Sun newspaper. "I don't understand it. It is a problem for many British players - it's a cultural thing," said Mancini on Friday. "I don't understand why they have chosen this and I am unhappy about it. For Johnson it is normal because he is young. But we are playing every three or four days at the moment and it is difficult enough to recover. It is important they recover well between games. Now I want to resolve this problem in the dressing room." City currently lie fourth on the EPL standings, five points behind leaders Chelsea.
