Too Much Importance On Away Form?

Manuel Pellegrini: "Maybe you give too much importance to when we don't win away.

"We won away the three games in the Champions League, two games in the Capital One Cup the last three games we won two and drew one.

"Then everybody is continue talking that we can't win away and now everybody is talking because Arsenal scored three goals and Fulham scored two more, but, I repeat, we are improving.

"If you see a statistic we are the third or fourth best defence in the league.

"I don't think Fulham had many chances to score," Pellegrini said.

"We had very bad luck with the second goal, they scored one goal on the counter attack.

"It is normal when you are attacking for 90 minutes that sometimes with a counter attack the other team can score one goal.

"But I think before they scored their goal we had three or four clear chances to score.

"If we are scoring and the other team has four, five, six chances every game to score then of course I would be concerned. But that is not the reality."
