Toure, whose former manager Arsene Wenger had reported had taken a slimming tablet belonging to his wife, watched from the stands at the City of Manchester Stadium as David Silva scored the only goal. Barry told ESPN: "Something like this doesn't happen too often. "We're all behind Kolo and supporting him, we're backing him 100%." Barry admitted Wigan had caused City problems after the break. "In the second half they really pinned us back," he added. "There were signs the amount of games we've played in a short period of time might have caught us up." Team-mate Micah Richards added: "That's why you need a big squad and that's what we are trying to do here. The three points is what we deserve in the end." City manager Roberto Mancini admitted his players had lagged in the second half. "We played well and we had four or five chances to score but in the second half we were tired," he said. "I think Wigan played very well in the second half."
