Man City boss Mancini: I will not play strike trio all the time

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has warned fans not to expect their three star strikers to always start.

Carlos Tevez, Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko all started the 3-0 win over Aris that booked a Europa League last-16 clash with Dynamo Kiev.

"I thought we did well and in the first half I was very pleased," said the Italian.

"The problem comes when we don't have the ball. If we don't close down every situation, it could be difficult for us.

"We can play this formation but not often, unless we improve."
