A dejected Roberto Mancini accepted blame for City's disappointing loss at Everton.
In a frank admission, the City boss says he might not have prepared his team correctly ahead of what has been a difficult fixture for the Blues in recent years.
"I don't think we played a good game tonight," he said. "It is probably my fault because we may have prepared badly for this match. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention or perhaps I underestimated Everton.
"My players gave everything out on the pitch but I think we played a bad game on the night."
Though Mancini was clearly disappointed at losing to the Toffees for a third successive time at Goodison Park, he is now looking to get back to winning ways against Fulham on Saturday.
"We need to win our next game and there are just 15 matches remaining," he said.
"December and January have proved difficlut months for us because we lost some players through injury, suspension or international call-ups. We just weren't good enough this evening but the fact that Manchester United are on level points doesn't change anything because we expected them to win at home."
Paraphrased:
"We were fucking garbage tonight. Most of my players were shite and the refereeing was dismal. But I am not going to slag my players off in front of the media. I will be tearing them new arseholes in private."

Exactly.
His Chelsea team only lost once when they won the league.
I also don't think they were that a better team than you.
They had great wingers in Duff and Robben, but they never had a player like Silva or even Aguero.
mourinho would walk the league next year at city, he really would.
BUT you CANNOT sack mancini if he goes on to win it this season.
i like mancini but failure to win the league should cost him his job.
I'll start worrying if we lose at home to a relegation favourite who are devoid of all form and confidence whose fans are baying for their manager to be sacked.Blumooniac said:Cheadle Blue said:Blumooniac said:Stand firm. Top of the league. Media scum will have a field day after tonight. Bitching won't help. We have to make the most of February's fixtures.
exactly so loosing tonight isn't a great start is it? they go to chelsea at weekend, and have a massive chance of beating them. so what are we relying on then? spurs to beat them?
if we can't perform on nights like tonight, we are going to chuck the fucking league away
Everton away is never an easy game for us, look at our Premiership record there. I agree we were off the pace tonight but I also think the usual hysterical over reactions are pointless. The next run of games are vital. if we spew them, I'll begin to worry.
