Man City boss Mancini: Blackburn put ten players behind ball

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini had a pop at Blackburn Rovers' tactics after their 1-1 draw.

Nikola Kalinic took advantage of a City mix-up to put the visitors ahead before Patrick Vieira equalised after halftime.

Blackburn then put up the shutters, leaving Mancini frustrated especially as his side had lost to Sunderland in their previous outing.

He said: "We were very unlucky. We must have had 25 chances to score against Blackburn. It is very hard when teams put 10 players behind the ball but we have to try and find a solution."
