Mancini blasts linesman and Aguero

[Folami David]

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini picked on a linesman and even scorer Sergi Aguero after Sunday's 2-2 draw with Liverpool as he begins to clutch at straws in the pursuit of Premier League leaders Manchester United.
.
City's second straight draw means United are nine points clear of the second-placed champions with 13 matches left and a possible foul on Edin Dzeko in the buildup to Liverpool's first equaliser left Mancini fuming.
.
'' Before the first goal it was a big foul. If the foul happened against us it was probably a red card for Vinny Kompany '', Mancini told Sky in reference to Kompany's red card at Arsenal last month that was later rescinded.
.
'' Instead the referee and linesman didn't see anything ''.
.
Aguero's brilliance was only partly appreciated by tough Italian taskmaster Mancini.
.
'' Few players I think can hit the target like that, he scored a fantastic goal but I think that Sergio and Edin should play better than tonight '', he remarked.
. 
'' Thirteen games to the end, it is long. I think we can recover nine points ''.
