Fulham leave egg on face of Man City boss Mancini after his Juventus tip

Fulham have left Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini with egg on his face after last night's thrashing of Europa League opponents Juventus.

Before the game, Mancini insisted Italian football was not on the slide and Juve would easily see off Fulham.

Mancini said: “Juve have a greater depth than their opponents. They cannot lose, in the sense that they will go through.”

Asked if he had any advice for Juventus boss Alberto Zaccheroni, he said: “No. He will certainly know the opponents well. Even better than me, seeing that he faced them just a week ago, while it's up to me to do so on Sunday.”
