City's manager lashes out at misfiring forwards on eve of Manchester derby

We have four strikers who can't score, says Mancini

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has revealed his frustration at his strikers and says his side must score more goals, despite lying second in the Premier League table.

The champions possess a vast array of attacking riches in Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko but the expensively assembled quartet have scored only 19 goals between them so far.

In contrast, Manchester United’s Robin van Persie has 10 goals already this season and Mancini wants more from his strikers. u00a0“It’s always the case that you can have one striker in a difficult spell during the season,” he told reporters.

“Usually, when you have four strikers, two or three of them are not scoring but one is. But at the moment we have four strikers who can’t score. This can change maybe on Sunday and after that it will be OK. But we need to work more,” he said.
