What They're Saying
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via the Guardian): "I think we must improve in general, not just the talking about the defending. We must create more chances, we must score more goals. We are working on that, and I am absolutely sure we will return to be the same team we were in the most important part of last season. But the only way is to compare last season with this season, and I don't think we are any worse this season."
Newcastle United defender Daryl Janmaat (via the Daily Star): "We want him [manager Alan Pardew]. We do not want another manager. If you lose games, then it is normal for a manager to be under pressure. So it was nice that we have given him those points, and now I expect the pressure to ease on him."
