Wilfried Bony has revealed he was not happy to be left on the bench for Manchester City's 2-1 loss to Arsenal on Monday, and the striker plans to let City boss Manuel Pellegrini know about it.

Bony was upset with Pellegrini's decision to start Sergio Aguero ahead of him, considering the Argentine international did not appear to be fully fit.

"I'm disappointed that I didn't start," Bony said.

"I'm not the coach. The coach does what he thinks is best for the team. Everyone on the bench wants to play. He has to choose 11 players. But I think I deserve to be playing.

"Aguero is coming back from injury. He hasn't played for a couple of weeks. My feeling is that I will say this to the manager today.

"I will continue to work hard, prepare very well and then it will depend on the coach who he puts in.

"When I come on I just try to do my best to try to score or to give an assist to the other players to score to help the team to win."
