Manuel Pellegrini denied to be fatigued into consideration with respect to his future at Manchester City following Sunday's 4-2 loss to Manchester United.
The result, City's fifth league defeat in 2015, leaves the reigning Premier League champions four points adrift of third-placed United as all hopes of retaining their title all but extinguished.
Pellegrini currently complained the terminate culture in England's top flight, consisting that he was not anxious about his position but was less inescapable followed up their second defeat in six days.
"I'm not talking about my position," Pellegrini said to questions after the match.
Sergio Aguero gave City a lead in just eight minutes, only for United to shout back through Ashley Young Marouane Fellani, Juan Mata and Chris Smalling before the Argentine added a late alleviation.
Pellegrini said"I think it was a clear result for Manchester United. We started very well in the first 20 minutes. After that I think they started playing better than us. They started playing with a lot of class and were clear winners. We didn’t defend well, particularly for the goals. We lost many points, not only in this game. We must play not for 20 minutes but the whole game. Maybe [squad spirit] is something we can be concerned about. I think we made important mistakes for the second goal and maybe the third goal was offside. They played better than us but it’s more easy to play when you are two goals ahead. We must try to continue playing the same way we did in the first 20 minutes."
Next match is against West Ham as they seems to hold off the likes of Liverpool, Southampton and Tottenham to hold a place in next year's Champions League in Final six matches of the season.
"We are concerned to try to win the next game. We have six more games to play. We have lost twice in the last week but we have 18 points to play. We must not make dramatics in this moment. We must try to recover as soon as possible from this defeat. It was a bad 2015 and a very bad week but we must all try together. We will work on the minds of the players this week. We must improve. If we win a game, we will recover." he said.
