The club's mega-rich Arab owners have spent more than
£300million on talent in the past three years.
But boss Mancini moaned: "We're lacking players at this moment.
I can only change the full-backs or the strikers.
"I have only two midfield players, as James Milner and Nigel de
Jong are injured. I don't have players at this moment."
City, who stay second in the table, led 2-0 but crumbled as
Fulham fought back with goals from Bobby Zamora and Danny
Murphy.
Mancini added: "After 2-0, it feels like a defeat but it could
be a lesson for us. When you dominate a game for 60 minutes and
score only two goals, it's a problem.
"For 10 to 15 minutes, Fulham played very well but a top team
like us needs to have more control of the game.
"I'm disappointed — we conceded stupid goals. Every game is like
this in England. If a team is losing 2-0, they do not finish
playing.
"All the players need to defend. For 10 minutes, we only
defended with five or six players which is not good enough. My
players probably thought they had done enough to win."
City's goals came from £35million Argentinian forward Sergio
Aguero.
Mancini insisted: "I'm happy with Aguero but next time it's
better that he scores once and we win."
