A frustrated Manuel Pellegrini said Manchester City played well in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester United before walking out of the interview with Sky Sports. Marcus Rashford scored the only goal of the derby clash at the Etihad in the 16th minute as Citys poor run of form continued.Pellegrinis side are 15 points behind leaders Leicester with just eight games of the season to play. The defeat is also their fifth at home this season, but Pellegrini refused to answer questions on why they have been unable to replicate their form at the Etihad from last year, when they lost just two matches. Pellegrinis side suffered a derby defeat Im only talking about the game, nothing more, said the Chilean before walking out of the interview with reporter Geoff Shreeves.Earlier, Pellegrini, who is leaving City in the summer to be replaced by Pep Guardiola, said his side put in a good performance in the second half despite the result. Sergio Aguero was unable to take any chances that fell his way We were the team what wanted to win for the whole game, he said. The team that played for 95 minutes, but we missed our chances and made a mistake for their goal. We tried but we couldnt do it.In the first half before they scored we had control of the game, we had three or four clear chances to score, we couldnt do it, maybe in the minutes after the goal we didnt do so well but the second half was a good performance, good attitude, but we couldnt score. Raheem Sterling had to be taken off with injury While City remain fourth in the table, they lost both Joe Hart and Raheem Sterling to injuries and have won just one of their last five league games.We lost very important three points because they are also fighting for a Champions League place but we are not going to give up, said Pellegrini. We are still fourth and all the teams are involved to try to reach the opposition. Also See: Man City 0-1 Man City As it happened Man City fixtures Get a free £10 bet Cheap Nike Air Max 270 Ispa .

In a slap in the face to Jamie Whincups quest for Mount Panorama redemption, Peter Brocks brother has questioned the Holden guns mental strength ahead of Sundays Bathurst 1000.And in another swipe, Phil Brock has also accused Whincups team boss Roland Dane of providing preferential treatment to the four-time Bathurst champion.Phil Brock will present the winners trophy named in his famous siblings honour on Sunday to mark the 10th anniversary of the record nine-time Bathurst champions death.Whincup on Thursday looked like the man most likely to accept the Peter Brock Trophy with co-driver Paul Dumbrell after their Holden dominated day one of practice.But Brock wondered whether Whincup would have the mental fortitude to bounce back and claim a fifth Great Race after his recent troubles.The record six-time Supercars champion has had plenty of Bathurst success but he has not tasted victory since 2012 after the team were left to rue his last two campaigns on the mountain.Whincup last year sensationally ignored team orders to pit before passing a safety car, relegating him from second to the back of the field to eventually finish 18th.And in 2014, the Holden gun also defied a team directive and ran out of fuel on the 161st and final lap while leading the Great Race.Brock did not rule out another Whincup brain explosion on Sunday.Dont get me wrong - I think Jamie is a very good driver, Brock told AAP.But from what I have seen, he can mentally go off the boil at times.He can get too fired up then makes a bad call.He might rate Whincups ability but Brock remarkably hinted the Holden driver also enjoyed influuence from boss Dane.dddddddddddd think (Whincups Holden teammate) Shane van Gisbergen could win Bathurst for the first time this weekend, he said of the series-leading Kiwi.But if Roland gets his way, I think he will try and make sure Whincup wins.Roland obviously likes him.Nowadays, I think there are far too many ways a team manager can engineer things to create results.For the record, Whincup reckoned he had no Bathurst regrets despite enduring two frustrating years on the mountain.Theres no use looking back into the past, Whincup told AAP.I dont regret anything that happened.I felt I made the right call with the information I had.I will do the exact same thing this year and beyond.Whincup might not be getting much love from Phil Brock but the Holden champion only has admiration for the man honoured this weekend, affectionately dubbed King of the Mountain.I didnt know Peter but, of course, I respected him - he is the icon of our sport, Whincup said.Remembering him makes you want to do your best job, come Sunday.Whincup - placed second in the series - has already impressed at Bathurst, his Holden topping the timesheets in each of Thursdays three practice sessions.He left his best until last, clocking two minutes, 05.29 seconds ahead of Ford duo Fabian Coulthard and 2014 champion Chaz Mostert.Nissans James Moffat did not emerge in the final session after co-driver James Golding clipped the wall near Reid Park in the second practice.Qualifying starts on Friday afternoon.
