Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini says he'll accept the blame for the sudden form slide.

Eder produced a winner for Sampdoria in tonight's 1-0 triumph over Inter.

"I accept all the criticism, but I do not think that the project can last only four months, because in recent years Inter has not done well and it needs a little more time," said Mancini.

"That said, I accept the criticism and I'm strong enough to handle it."

Mancini continued: "Surely it's not been a great month, but tonight I have nothing to say to the boys. We played and deserved to win.

"In the next games we have to keep playing like today and hoping that luck will help us a bit. There are still ten games, we can not already be thinking about next season. We have to go forward."
