Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has dismissed critics of manager Manuel Pellegrini.

He accepts criticism as part of the job at City and is quick to defend Pellegrini, whose tactics were questioned against Barcelona.

"That's life being at Manchester City. I let a goal in and I'm under pressure. We miss chances and we don't score the lads are under pressure," he said.

"But that's why we are at this club. We aren't here to hide. The manager doesn't want to be manager of this club so he can hide. He fronts it up.

"He has been a great manager for us and will continue to try and win things with us and we want to win things with him."
