Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has played down manager Manuel Pellegrini's reaction to their Capital One Cup defeat to Swansea City. Pellegrini said after the match that he was worried about an apparent "lack of trust and confidence" within his squad, but Hart played down the meaning of the phrase.
"Those are keywords that he uses," Hart said. "I don't think they're anything to be built on too much. We know what we are as a unit. Not everyone is exactly at their peak just now. We just need a few players, myself included, to step up and it will come back.
"This is one of those difficult patches we've gone through many a time and as he pointed out, last season we had less points and were in a worse position (at this stage) and we won the league. We've got to look to things like that but the main thing is to get it right on Sunday."
