Manchester City Crush Newcastle FC

[Folami David]

Manuel Pellegrini's Manchester City revolution got off to the perfect start as Newcastle were crushed 4-0 at Eastlands on Monday.
.
Pellegrini was hired by City's Abu Dhabi-based owners to revitalise a team that surrendered the Premier League title to Manchester United last season and the Chilean's new players responded by delivering a stylish victory in his first match in charge.
.
With title rivals United and Chelsea both winning under new management over the weekend, it was essential that former Malaga boss Pellegrini kept pace at the top.
.
City delivered emphatically as Spanish midfielder David Silva headed the opener in the sixth minute and Argentina forward Sergio Aguero steered in the second in the 22nd minute.
.
Newcastle's troubles continued when defender Steven Taylor was sent off just before halftime for catching Aguero with a forearm.
.
Yaya Toure's superb 50th minute free-kick made it three and Samir Nasri came off the bench to complete the demolition with a cool finish 15 minutes from fulltime.
.
Newcastle, who have only signed QPR striker Loic Remy on loan since Joe Kinnear was brought in to take care of transfer activity, faced disruption before the match, with France midfielder Yohan Cabaye being left out of the squad following a £12 million bid from Arsenal.
.
But while Newcastle were abject, City made quite a statement about their intentions for the season Many predicted that Pellegrini, who replaced Roberto Mancini at the end of last season, would employ a 4-3-3 formation following his move to England, but he stuck with the 4-4-2 he has used throughout pre- season against Newcastle.
.
An indication of the depth available to Pellegrini is that he had a powerful bench including Alvaro Negredo and Nasri and there was no place in his 18- man squad for Stevan Jovetic, Gareth Barry or Micah Richards.
