A positive mindset will be key when Roberto Mancini's Manchester City
look to bounce back in the Premier League at home to Fulham on
Saturday.
Following Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Everton at Goodison Park, a result Mancini said was his own fault, City now lead champions Manchester United by only goal difference.
The leaders' ineffectual performance was almost as baffling as Mancini's post-match declaration that he failed to prepare his side adequately.
"It's important for me to know what this mistake is. I didn't prepare well because I thought maybe this game was easier and you know here (Goodison Park) is never easy, never," Mancini said after the match.
"I didn't prepare well with the training in the last three or four days."
