Chris Hughton: "At this moment, it is very tough to sit here on the back of that defeat.
"Apart from two goals - Toure scored a wonderful free-kick and one of them was offside - all the goals were too easy for Manchester City to score.
"It started early; we conceded early goals which put us on the back foot and made us nervous. You can't afford to do that.
"It shows the absolute quality they have got, we found it very difficult to handle them and we suffered our biggest defeat.
"We all let the club down. I am the manager and I pick the team and determine the tactics.
"We have a support who have travelled up to Manchester in midweek, to United, almost 3,000, and travelled back up.
"We very much let them down but they are a wonderful support.
"They would have been entitled to be on their way back to Norwich way before that final whistle went.
"I have always had confidence in my ability and in the group of players in the dressing room, but we need to address this one quickly.
"It is early in the season but I know we are on the back of a very heavy defeat. We have to bounce back."
IDEAL FOR CHRISTMAS
MAGPIES IN EUROPE -
HARVEY TO PARDEW
Although NUFC are not talking to the Chronicle or Sunday Sun ... we are!
And the full story is expected to be in newspapers within the next two weeks.
The official new title is "Magpies In Europe - Harvey To Pardew" and is an up-dated version of "From Antwerp To Zurich" - which includes the 14 Europa League fixtures we played last season.
The 280-page book features match reports from the 134 European matches Newcastle United have played, starting with the memorable 4-0 win over Feyenoord in 1968 on our European debut.
Included are stats and the figures you would expect, but also each away fixture has the remarkable experiences of individuals who travelled to watch the matches.
Introduction by "Big Bad" John McNamee, part of the Fairs Cup winning team of 1969.
It is a fascinating history that every Newcastle United fan will enjoy.
And with a limited print-run, make sure you order a copy.
