Winning mentality: David Silva is convinced
Manchester City can win the League
David Silva believes
Manchester City's huge squad
can help win them their first Barclays Premier League title after
their Europa League victory on Thursday night.
City secured a 3-1 win over Polish champions KKS Lech Poznari
through Emmanuel Adebayor's superb hat-trick as the Togo striker
returned to form.
Boss Roberto Mancini called Jo, Yaya Toure and Wayne Bridge from
the bench and still had Carlos Tevez, Vincent Kompany, James
Milner and Shay Given as unused substitutes.
Silva reckons second-placed City are starting to utlise
their squad to good effect and says it can secure them the League
championship as well as progression in the Europa League.
City will secure progress to the last 32 of the Europa League
with a second win over Lech, who remain second in the table, next
month.
City's Spain forward said: 'It wasn’t just my two assists, the
whole team did well. We created a lot of chances and we won, which
is the main thing.
'Adebayor played a great game and helped us a lot. We can travel
to Poland with less pressure now.
'The Europa League is important – it’s a major European
competition – but in the league too we’re doing well and let’s see
if we can keep it going.
''We’ve a very deep squad with very good players and you have to
be able to use that to your advantage.'
City defender Pablo Zabaleta was in agreement and added: 'The
rotation policy meant we’re all at the right level to challenge in
all competitions.'
