Capital One Cup or League Cup may be only the fourth priority for Manchester City after Champions League , Premier League and FA Cup , but following the painful defeat of Chelsea in the Premier League last weekend , Manuel Pellegrini and his troops were making game in the League Cup is like yesterday title that should be pursued to the death.
Although many players lose coatings , City still appear adamant when conquering Newcastle United 2-0 ( 0-0 ) at St James Park in the fourth round or the round of eight .Newcastle also provide resistance rigorous , evidence -nicknamed The Magpies Newcastle were defeated 0-4 by City in the Premier League this season managed to force his opponent play the extra period , but in the phase of the City showed stronger mentally .
They managed to score the winning goal through Alvaro Negredo in the 99th minute and Edin Dzeko at minute 105 . Host actually dominate the game . They are also more aggressive , scoring 19 shots .
Compare with the City which is only 16 shot . Bomber Shola Ameobi early in the game that could threaten the goal City goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon deputies escorted , but the appearance of the keeper made a brilliant Romanian striker frustrated opponent .
City starting eleven is not the same player that is displayed when Chelsea defeated
Among the eleven players , only midfielder Javi Garcia is played back from the beginning .
Without a deep lying midfielder as Yaya Toure , City like loss of creativity .
The absence of Sergio Aguero who has a high cruising vision was also influential in the team's attack .
Good cooperation between right-back Micah Richards and City Navas made dominant attack from the right side .
" We are very disappointed not to have scored , but we played well . I can not force my players . Levels are very high and this game is a tough game , " said Newcastle manager Alan Pardew.
Instead, the City manager Manuel Pellegrini can now smile again.
"We deserve this win. Results is also very important to face the next game against Norwich City (in the event the Premier League)," said Pellegrini.
Problem Leicester City will face quarter-finals, Pellegrini asked his players not to underestimate your opponent, let alone qualify Leicester City after successfully conquering Fulham.
"I do not think the game will be easy. Leicester beat Fulham, so the game will not be easy. We have to play very well if you want to win," said the Chilean coach. Thank you for reading this article.
