appearances for Manchester City after drawing a blank
in Saturday's win over Norwich City.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has told fans to lay
off Wilfried Bony and trust in the misfiring striker after he was
targeted by boo boys at the Etihad Stadium.
Bony - standing in for the injured Sergio Aguero - wasted a
number of chances during City's late 2-1 Premier League victory
over Norwich City on Saturday.
The Ivory Coast international's struggles did not go unnoticed
by City fans, who booed the former Swansea City frontman in
Manchester.
Pellegrini has called on the club's supporters to keep faith in
Bony, despite his return of five goals in 24 appearances.
"Maybe he needs to score, because he is missing some
chances," said Pellegrini.
"The way he plays and the striker he is, he normally doesn't
miss them.
"But I think he needs trust. He's playing after many months of
not being able to work normally, for different reasons.
"Now I have placed a lot of trust in him, he must demonstrate
why he's here."
