Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini is worried about the team’s current form and wary of future results.
After they suffered a second successive defeat , he admitted that the club have been playing poorly and should be bothered about Sunday’s derby clash with Manchester United.
Manchester City have recorded just 4 wins in 12 games, 6 points behind Chelsea in the Premier League, 3rd in their Champions League group & out of Capital One Cup.
No doubt the Chilean football manager is under pressure.
“My feeling is that we are not playing well. We are in a difficult moment with a lack of trust. We are conceding too easy goals and we are not scoring the chances we have to score,” he said in a news conference.
“It’s a lack of confidence that we must address as soon as possible because we need to continue to be involved in the other competitions.”

added: “Of course we must be worried. We didn’t win the three games
we played this week. We must be worried about that but we must find
a solution and we must address it.
“I don’t know if it is the worst performance of our team [in my reign] but we’ve had three games in a week and they have been very similar: we conceded two goals in each too easily and had a lot of chances in
the three games to score and didn’t so it’s a difficult moment. There’s a lack of trust but we are going to recover.
“We are conceding too easy goals with individual mistakes but I think we are not playing the way we normally play, we’re not moving the ball as fast as we normally do.
“We’re not playing easy as a team, we’re playing too much as individual players and in attack we are missing too many chances. Maybe it’s all linked with the lack of trust.”
