Kasper Schmeichel admits he will make mistakes as he continues to learn at Manchester City.
The 20-year-old produced a string of impressive performances at the start of the season as Manchester City stormed to the top of the Premier League.
However, City have since slipped to third and Schmeichel has been dropped by manager Sven Goran Eriksson.
Schmeichel, though, acknowledges he is still learning his trade and accepts Eriksson's decision.
"He is the expert, he has been in football for a very long time and knows what he talks about," Schmeichel told 24timer.
"I am a 20-year-old goalkeeper and I will make mistakes.
"I will do things which experienced keepers of 27 to 30 years don't do."
