Mancini wants more from AJ,,,,,

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is demanding more from Adam Johnson despite the winger's key role in the Carling Cup win at Wolves.Johnson scored the equaliser and created the second goal for Samir Nasri as City booked their place in the quarter-finals with five goals in a 27 minute spell.

But Mancini believes the former Middlesbrough player can still do better and was critical of his role in Wolves' second from Jamie O'Hara. He said: "Sometimes he thinks, 'Okay, in this game I scored one goal, I did an assist, that is enough.' "I think Adam, because he is young, can improve a lot. He needs to think in a different way. Mancini laughed off suggestions that unused substitute Mario Balotelli had been involved in a row with a member of his coaching staff after the game. When asked about a possible incident, Mancini only said: "Who Mario? No, no (laughs). For a fire on the bench!" The media were not permitted to ask questions about striker Carlos Tevez who has been fined four weeks wages by City. Edin Dzeko's brace and an own goal from Dorus de Vries completed City's haul with Nenad Milijas and Jamie O'Hara replying for Wolves whose manager Mick McCarthy took consolation from their performance.

UEFA delay details on Rooney ban,,,,

UEFA have delayed giving the FA their written reasons behind England striker Wayne Rooney's three-match ban "for another week at a minimum".The European governing body had been expected to provide the FA with the reasoned decisions for the ban - imposed on the England striker for kicking Miodrag Dzudovoic during the 2-2 draw with Montenegro - by Thursday.

The FA will make a decision based on the full reasons but it would be a surprise if there is no appeal, given that a three-match international ban would rule the Manchester United player out of all of England's group matches at the Euro 2012 finals. National team coach Capello last week dropped a clear hint that Rooney will be going to next summer's tournament regardless. The Italian had not spoken about Rooney since the striker was handed the ban but the widespread view amongst professionals is that Rooney should go.
