Man City boss relaxed over dip in away form

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is unconcerned about his team's away form ahead of Sunday's game at Aston Villa, feeling it is just a short term blip.

The Premier League leaders will look to arrest a disappointing sequence of results away from the Etihad Stadium with victory at Villa Park this weekend, having won just one of their last six away games.

"We knew it was impossible to score three goals in every away game," he said. "Sometimes you can lose these games.

"But we didn't deserve to lose any of these games. At Sunderland we had 70% possession and lost to an offside goal in injury time.

"At Everton we had 70% of the ball and had all the shots. At Chelsea it was the same."
