The Chilean was impressed with his side's performance
after watching his men beat West Ham at Upton Park and is looking forward to
fixtures against CSKA Moscow and Chelsea.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has promised
the club's attacking strategy on the road will continue ahead of a testing
week.
City recorded their first away win of the Premier League
season on Saturday as a Sergio Aguero double helped them to a 3-1 triumph at
West Ham.
Defeats to Cardiff City and Aston Villa, both by a 3-2
scoreline, earlier in the season had seen Pellegrini's philosophy in away
fixtures come under question.
But after another attacking performance – City have
scored 10 goals in five matches on their travels in all competition –
Pellegrini said the club's supporters should expect more of the same.
"Before this game, we lost two games 3-2. Scoring
two goals away in each game is a good average," Pellegrini told Sky
Sports.
"Today we scored three. We continue to try and be an
offensive team. I think that this team should always play attacking.
"We were absolutely sure the way we were playing
away that we would win. The games we lost against Cardiff and Aston Villa, I
think that was [not] the scoreline that the match deserved.
"Today we did both things. Playing well and winning.
Today the team played very well.
"I think we must keep all the good [attacking]
things we did in the other games and keep concentrating on defending. That's
what we did today."
Pellegrini was under no illusions over the importance of
the result, with wins from Arsenal and Chelsea earlier in the day heaping the
pressure on his squad.
And ahead of a week that will see them travel to Russia
for a Champions League fixture against CSKA Moscow on Wednesday before facing
Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Pellegrini hinted at several rotations in
his squad.
"Today was very important. Before we started, Chelsea
and Arsenal won their games. We must be at maximum, three points away from the
leader," he said.
"Next game we play Chelsea away to recover the
points. It is never a problem to have good players on the bench."
