Roberto Mancini: "Carroll is a good player.
"He's young, he's strong, he's very good. But I don't think that Newcastle want to sell.
"We started very well, but it was a difficult game against a strong Newcastle team.
"Carlos (Tevez) played very well, he has a real focus.
"I am happy."
"We must improve at home, though. Away we are very good but we've lost a lot of points at home. If we do improve I hope we can arrive on top and that we can win something."
Alan Pardew: "They've certainly got enough quality.
"But winning titles is not just about quality, it's about team spirit, luck with injuries and general good fortune. City have still got a lot to do, especially as they're looking to win the Premier League for the first time."
