After spending heavily in the summer, City experienced a disappointing first game draw against Spurs where they were second best for most of the game.
He told the Daily Mirror: “I don’t want six months.
“I want time so I can get the players to play well. We can improve every day if we work. If we don’t work, it’s difficult.
“It is important that we finish not in the top four but higher. We have four competitions and we want to win something. We must play always to win.”
