Wolves must be taken seriously — Mancini
Date published: 14 January 2011
Roberto Mancini has warned his Manchester City team they must get rid of their superiority complex if they are to win the Barclays Premier League title.
The most expensive squad in English football welcomed another addition earlier this week when giant striker Edin Dzeko checked in after completing his £27million move from Wolfsburg.
With so much quality at his disposal, Mancini appears best placed to challenge Sir Alex Ferguson for the championship this season, and create what promises to be a thrilling all–Manchester duel.
But the visit of Wolves to Eastlands tomorrow is a reminder of the obstacles in City's path.
Even though they went in front at Molineux earlier this season, Mick McCarthy's men rallied to snatch all three points. It was the kind of setback Mancini acknowledges could prove costly in the final analysis, and one which the Blues must learn to avoid.
"If you think a game is going to be easy, that is when you lose,” he said.
