da casino: Manchester City head coach Roberto Mancini remains confident that his side will reach the knockout stages of the Europa League, following their 1-1 draw at home to Juventus.
da dobrowin: Adam Johnson slotted home an equaliser for the Citizens, after Juve had hit the front early on at Eastlands through Vincenzo Iaquinta.
Mancini told reporters:"I am confident. For me it is a difficult group, with Lech Poznan a good team and Juventus a good team – so it will not be easy, but I think we can go through.
"I think the draw was fair. In the second half we were not as good as we could have been near goal, but Juventus had a lot of players back in defence.
"We can do better than that first 20 minutes, but after that I thought we played some good football. Sometimes we must move the ball quicker than we do.
"I don't know why we started so slowly. I think we thought we could control the game, but after Juventus scored the match changed. They started well, then we took over the game.
"Every game is different, but you must have the same attitude, the same concentration on the pitch as we had against Chelsea."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
