Man City boss Pellegrini: Mangala deserves criticism

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has given an updated review of this season's signings.

Pellegrini, however, admits Eliaquim Mangala could be doing better.

"Bacary Sagna has maybe not played a lot, but the times he's played he's done very well and we have another choice at full-back.

"We never had that option with Micah Richards because he was always injured.

"Javi Garcia wanted to go. We changed him for Fernando. He's had a normal performance.

"Maybe you can have some criticisms of Mangala - but he's improving and he'll be an important player for this club in the future."
