also admitted Mancini had laid down the law during his first day in charge.
The squad have been ordered to undertake double training on Tuesday in a bid to shore up their leaky defence and the striker is hoping for instant results when Stoke travel to Eastlands on Boxing Day.
He added: "In the first day the manager was shaping the team a little and giving us ideas of what he expected from us.
"He knows exactly what he has to do. There is a lot of work to do tactically and I think he will do it.
"We were working very well on reshaping the team, which is one of the things we need to do to get the right balance defensively.
"We will have a double session on Tuesday and for sure he will get ideas and tell the team what he expects from us.
"He wants us to close people down. He wants us to be solid and tight and to make it very hard for the other team to play between the lines. And then once we get the ball, to play it wide.
"We have a lot of defensive work to do and then we will have time to address other things which have been causing problems to the team and solve them in the best way possible."
