Mancini blasts ‘selfish’ stars

(06-12-2010) Roberto Mancini has laid into Manchester City’s “selfish” stars. Speaking after the club’s narrow 1-0 win over Bolton on Saturday, the Italian expressed annoyance at the number of chances his expensively assembled team left begging. "You can say we had some bad luck but we must improve. Sometimes we are too selfish,” commented Mancini. "We had maybe 15 chances to score. When you have a lot of chances you think the game is easy. You shoot when it is better to pass the ball. We must improve this situation. It means you can draw when you should have won by three or four goals.” He added: "It was the same at Stoke where we deserved to win but we drew. When we have a chance we must score. If I had played today I would have scored two or three goals." City lie fourth on the EPL standings.
