The Italian watched his side surrender their 100 per cent start to the Barclays Premier League season when Fulham came from 2-0 down to draw Sunday's match at Craven Cottage.
The result was the first blow to the visitors' title hopes and, coming four days after they made their Champions League bow, it cast doubt on their ability to cope with the twin demands of domestic and European football
HAVE ENOUGH
And manager Mancini bemoaned his inability to rest the likes of Yaya Toure and Gareth Barry with James Milner and Nigel De Jong currently sidelined through injury.
Asked if that meant he did not have enough players, he added: "We are lacking at this moment because we lost two midfielders.
"I don't have players at the moment. I can only change the full-backs. I have only two midfielders, because James and De Jong have injuries."
Mancini appeared frustrated after watching his side waste numerous chances to kill off opponents for the third time in eight days.
"What team comes here against Fulham in London and has over 70 per cent of ball possession?" he added.
"We had the same problem against Wigan at home. We had 15 chances in the first half and we scored only one goal. It doesn't always go well if you don't score, if you don't close the game.
