Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has jumped to the defence of manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Talk of Pellegrini carrying the can is dismissed by Aguero.
"It's easy for everyone to suddenly decide it's the man at the helm who is to blame, but I would say in situations like this, when we haven't played well as a group, we are all in it together," says Aguero.
"The Champions League group table is not what we would have expected. We are not seeing the real City playing in Europe at the moment, but we still have these last two games when we hope the real City will turn up.
"I guess that if we don't turn it around, you would consider it to be the worst Champions League campaign the club have had. But I have spent a lot of years in football and am aware that these things can happen, you get bad runs. And I am also aware that you work your way out of those bad runs and come out the other side positively."
