Roberto Mancini believes that Manchester City would have found the net on more occasions this season if Carlos Tevez had been available.
The Argentine was out of action for almost six months following a falling-out with Mancini last September.
However, the 28-year-old has recently returned to score four goals in his last two outings, including a hat-trick against Norwich City earlier today.
"I think we did well without Carlos for four or five months, but I'm sure if we had Carlos with Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Mario Balotelli we would have scored more goals," Mancini told Sky Sports News.
City went on to win the match 6-1.
