Man City boss Mancini explains hooking Savic

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini explained hooking Stefan Savic at halftime of their Carling Cup exit at Liverpool.

Mancini replaced centre-back Savic with Sergio Aguero at half time.

He said: "Savic is young and needs to improve, he makes mistakes like we all do. We needed another striker, that was the reason for the change."
