Kolo Toure believes it is vital Manchester City regain that winning mentality if they are to be considered genuine contenders for a Champions League place.[LNB] Despite a fourth successive draw - at Birmingham - Mark Hughes's side moved into the fourth spot. Club skipper Toure says they need to kick-on, sooner rather than later, starting on Saturday in the home game against Burnley.[LNB] "We need to impose ourselves as we have some gifted players in this dressing room," Toure told the club's official website.[LNB] "We can enjoy our football by passing it and controlling games. That's what we need to achieve now. The team needs time but as time goes by we need to improve. [LNB] "City is not the team it was before, a lot of things have changed and our mentality has to change as well. [LNB] "We cannot be happy with a draw or drawing four games in a row. Chelsea, Arsenal or Liverpool would never be happy with that, which is why they have been at the top, so neither can we."[LNB] Toure is hopeful he can face Burnley after being sidelined with a heel problem.[LNB] He said: "The injury is getting better, I feel that I will be fit enough for the game on Saturday. [LNB] "I'm always disappointed when I'm injured and I can't help out my team mates, but we have a strong squad here. [LNB] "You need that if you want to at the top of this league, because there are some really tough teams out there."
