SPORTS: Pellegrini unperturbed with his future in City

MANUEL Pellegrini insists he is not concerned about speculation surrounding his future as Manchester City boss. Speculation continues to mount that the Chilean will be replaced at the end of what is shaping up to be a disappointing season.

But he said: “I’m not concerned about my job. That is one thing I am never concerned with. “I never have fear about it, I do my work, I’m very happy. The team may be having a difficult season but never worry about me. “We are not thinking about Chelsea, or about the title.

We are just trying to win our games.” Goals from Glenn Murray and Jason Puncheon either side of half-time condemned City to defeat at Selhurst Park. There may have been a hint of offside about Murray’s goal, with both the striker and Scott Dann possibly just beyond the last man. However, if there were question marks about the first goal, there was nothing wrong with the second three minutes after the interval as Puncheon curled home a superb free-kick.

Murray was also involved in controversy at the other end when the ball hit his arm in the area before Yaya Toure pulled one back for City. “It was a clear offside. Also it was a clear penalty,” added Pellegrini. “But with the way we played we must win this game.”
