Alan Pardew: "I honestly feel we have come up against individuals today who we are not going to see every week.
"Some of their play is outstanding and you have only got to see it close up to know the quality of [Samir] Nasri and Silva, the power of Yaya Toure, and Dzeko up front is a real handful, and I thought we coped with it as well as we could.
"When you play the top teams, you need a break - there's no doubt about that.
"Whenever I have won against the tops sides, you get a break in the game and it didn't happen for us today. We didn't get a ricochet or something that fell our way.
"But I am as pleased as I can be with a 2-0 defeat."
Pardew was less than polite to his opposite number when the sides met on Tyneside last season, but there was no repeat this time around.
Manuel Pellegrini: "I don't have any problems with Alan. It was a mistake that he made the other season, but he apologised in the moment, and I told him in the same moment, 'Don't you worry about that, it's finished and all forgiven'.
"There was no problem. He had a lot of problems last year - not only with me. It's a new season and everyone learns from things."
