City now made of sterner stuff, insists Nasri

Samir Nasris convinced Manchester City are not about to make the same mistakes they did last time they defended the Premier League title.

City mustered an unconvincing defence of the crown they won in 2012, limping in second to Manchester United after trailing them for the entire second half of the campaign.

This season Nasri believes City are made of sterner stuff as they bid to retain the title they reclaimed last May, even though they squandered a chance to close right in on leaders Chelsea on Sunday.
