Manuel Pellegrini: 'I've got faith in my tactics'

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has insisted that he has faith in his tactics following two disappointing results for his side.

Pellegrini believes that City were unlucky in the 1-0 defeat to title rivals Chelsea earlier this month, which came less than a week before the goalless draw with Norwich City.

"I am absolutely sure that in the previous game [with Chelsea], it was not a problem with tactics," the Chilean told reporters.

"If we'd scored first, the result could have been different but the tactics would have been the same.

"I repeat, I will continue to think exactly in the same way - it's important to score and defend well."

Pellegrini's side face Chelsea once again on Saturday when they turn their attentions to the FA Cup.
