Sven-Goran Eriksson’s Eastlands return ended in disappointment as Manchester City edged past his Leicester side in an FA Cup third-round replay.

Mancini is still not happy with defensive problems he doesn’t like conceding goals but then again who does? Heres what he said on the matter:
“It’s great – but only for the supporters! I’d enjoy it if we scored four goals and did not concede any, but every time it’s two goals, three goals. We must improve.

“We conceded these goals tonight because we lost our concentration, especially in the last 10 to 15 minutes. We thought the game was finished, but in football you must keep concentrating until the referee blows for the end of the game.

“It is good for fans, but I prefer a 4-1, a 1-0 or a 2-0. If you don’t concede a lot of goals, at the end of the season you are sure to win something.”

“If you keep conceding in each game, you will get to the moment when you don’t score enough to win. Because of this, we have to improve.”
.
He added, “These are tricky games, and we have seen this with Newcastle and Sunderland. Notts County beat Sunderland away, so we are going to have to pay attention to them.”
