Balotelli gave City the lead in the 1-1 draw, but Mancini was not happy with the youngster’s performance.
“I am not happy with Mario,” said the City boss.
“I know him very well and I know he can play better. He can play for the team.
“He scored a fantastic goal, but there were still 70 minutes left.
“He can’t lose the ball all the time. Every time the ball went to the front, we didn’t keep it.”
