Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini insists he's not under pressure after their disappointing 0-0 draw with Birmingham City.

With just one win in five Barclays Premier League games - and no league goals on home soil since the beginning of October - questions are being asked of Mancini, by supporters if not the club's owners.

The Italian flew back home on a family visit this evening, although he insists he feels under no pressure.

"Which pressure? For what?" he said. "You continue to say I am under pressure. Which pressure? Because some supporters say I did not put two strikers on, or journalists say I am too defensive?

"I am not under pressure. We are in fourth position. We have some problems. Since the start of the season it has been the case that if Carlos Tevez doesn't score, no-one does.

"We must improve that. But we have only played 13 games. When I have all my players and we have the right balance, then maybe we play better."
