Norwich prevented Man City from having a shot on target in the second half He said on Ford Football Special: Ive got to be honest, what must Manchester City fans think when they see their side perform like that. No shots on target in the second half, thats diabolical.Theyve scored 13 away goals this year and havent won back-to-back games since October. Look at the quality hes got at his disposal. Norwich 0-0 Man City Manchester Citys Premier League title bid continued to stutter I looked at Norwich, and they did really well in the end, I dont want to take anything away from them, but they were there for the taking at the start today.For Man City to be in this predicament, so far behind Leicester. Everyone has given it to Leicester, its amazing. Aguero came close twice in the first half for the visitors Pellegrini started striker Wilfried Bony up front at Carrow Road alongside Sergio Aguero, but the Ivory Coast striker did not touch the ball inside the area for the entirety of his stint before being replaced by Raheem Sterling on 58 minutes.Bony has scored four goals in 19 Premier League appearances this season, and Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry was left baffled by the 27-year-olds lack of presence in the area on Saturday.Henry said: I couldnt understand it. Theyre trying to get back in the title race and need goals for that. Pellegrini went with two strikers. Manuel Pellegrini blamed Man Citys inability to create space for the draw You should be running, breaking your neck to get into the box. Thats not good enough. Who is there to make sure that you can upset the Norwich defence?They started with two strikers for a reason. They touched the ball in the area four times, and it was all Aguero.I think its Leicesters to lose. We were saying before the game: Can Manchester City win the title? I think the question now is: Can they stay in the top four? Also See: Man City video Man City fixtures Man City stats Get a free ￡10 bet Solomon Thomas 49ers Jersey .

Abreu had three singles and three RBIs to increase his major league-leading total to 89, and the White Sox had 17 hits in an 11-5 victory. Adam Dunn, who also had three hits, and Dayan Viciedo each drove in two runs. Seven White Sox starters had at least two hits and only one, Tyler Flowers, went hitless as Chicago had 14 singles and three doubles. Abreu is in a three-way tie for the major league lead in homers with 31, but hasnt slugged one since July 29. White Sox manager Robin Ventura is still impressed with his rookie first baseman. "I think youre looking at the professional side of his hitting," Ventura said. "I think everybody goes through a stretch where you dont quite have that feeling to hit homers. "Dont try to do too much. Dont be the hero," he added. "Not trying to hit it over the fence. Just put it in play and good things will happen."

Marcus Stroman (7-4) gave up five runs, five hits and hit a batter while getting only two outs in his shortest outing since joining the Blue Jays rotation on May 31. "Its disappointing because we scored four runs in the first two innings and I couldnt help my team keep in position to get a win," Stroman said. Blue Jays slugger Edwin Encarnacion was hitless as the DH after being activated from the 15-day disabled list before the game. Ten of the first 15 White Sox hitters reached base as Chicago scored five runs in the first inning and added one in the second. Viciedo singled twice in the span and drove in two runss.

TRAINERS ROOM Blue Jays Encarnacion, a two-time All-Star, missed more than a month because of a strained right quadriceps muscle. He has played 70 of 91 games this season at first base, but manager John Gibbons plans to ease Encarnacion back onto the field. "Hell have to play first base, but he was running guarded a little bit," Gibbons said. "If we dont have to, well let him DH the first few games anyway."

Lind has just four homers and 27 RBIs in 63 games with a .319 average, but last year hit 23 homers with 67 RBIs. The Blue Jays are counting on him and Encarnacion for an offensive boost down the stretch.
