Man City lacked ideas - Pellegrini

There was little room for error for City as they chased Chelsea, who won at Aston Villa, but they paid the price for a lethargic first half.
City were again without Yaya Toure, who is on Africa Cup of Nations duty with Ivory Coast, and they are winless in all five Premier League matches their influential midfielder has missed this season.
The home side's manager, Manuel Pellegrini, will also have concerns about his side's home form, with three of their four league defeats in the current campaign coming at the Etihad.
