Manchester City's Patrick Vieira insists that they remain in good shape, despite their indifferent form.
Vieira added that he believes questions over Roberto Mancini's position as manager at Manchester City is an inevitable consequence of the club's success. "That is a part of the game," said Vieira. "People are like that and you people, journalists, try to find the little things that will sell more papers and will get more people listening to the news. "But this is a part of our game and we accept it, no problem at all." Mancini's future has been called into question, but again Vieira insists that long-term stability is important. "I hope (he is here in five years) because I believe that stability will bring success to the football club, to any football club," he continued. "When you look Man United is a perfect example to follow, so why not? "I think Mancini, since he's been at this football club, his record has been fantastic. "So credit to him - you're not winning the cup and winning the league as an average manager. You have to be good. "He's a winner. He's working hard all week in training, trying to make the team focused and is really aware of the tactical aspect of awareness of the game. "He is looking for the perfect game and he's really demanding. I think this is why he's so successful."
