Joe Hart defends Man City boss Pellegrini

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has backed manager Manuel Pellegrini to turn their recent form around, defending the recently criticised coach.

The quiet Chilean boss has led his side to a draw and two defeats in their last three games causing many of the club’s fans to become concerned, however, Hart believes that his manager’s frustration has not been hidden and that he is confident the former Real Madrid man can help turn the club around.

“He’s not an actor,” Hart told Sky Sports News. “That’s who he is. It’s how he portrays himself in the media but he doesn’t change when he speaks to us.

“It’s a good thing to have a constant – we know what kind of a guy he is and what he expects from us. Someone doesn’t have to smash the room up to show you they’re disappointed.

“He’s got his standards that we try to live up to and, if we don’t, we’re just as disappointed as he is. He knows his methods and we’ve proved in the past playing his way works.

“We know where we are as a unit, we just need a few players, myself included, to step up and we’ll be fine.

“Last season we had fewer points at this time and we won the league.

“We are big enough and ugly enough to know that this is football. We are prepared to fight through it and put it right.”
