Match Thread | Newcastle vs Man City (19/12/21)

[Blu1]

Need Grealish today stronger than Raz & Mahrez plus he would win free kicks for fun today

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Of course it's a fuckin pen, Just hard to admit by some that we get away with decisions.

How can it be a penalty if the player didn't even have the ball never mind in control of the ball

 

[I'm Blue]

They are trying to get ours sent off, someone will go

Yep and the ref is playing to the crowd.
Either sent off or injured.

Cancelo has control of the ball and situation but Ederson just takes frazer out it’s a red for me

No way, he didn’t have the ball! Or any chance if retrieving it. As regards a pen the ref had a good view so VAR can’t change it.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Can't see that a penalty. He didn't even have the ball and wasn't about to get it either. A bit rash from Eddie though.

Tbf a player doesn’t have to be on the ball to be fouled. I don’t know how we got away with that one.

 

[hilts]

Poor game but 2 nil up, one of those days. The pen kdb foul and their keeper have helped us out. Hopefully pep has a word half time.

 

[Blu1]

Kev is just strolling around

 

[maurizio]

Weirdly winning two nil despite our poor passing.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Sky, City totally unfair the way they keep the ball.

 

[I'm Blue]

No way a penalty. The ball was gone and the Newcastle player ran into Eddie as much as he was sliding in at speed.

Seeing the replay it looked 50/50

 

[chesterbells]

Considering we are 2 up we are lacking our usual level of control here.

 

[kun]

Our passing has been awful

This is the standard of passing you find at any other club in the PL (including Liverpool and Chelsea).

Our standards are so much higher.

 

[mat]

What is the point of Joe Linton?

 

[svennis pennis]

Would love to see Gundogan in the midfield second half.

 

[Cotontoquinn]

How can it be a penalty if the player didn't even have the ball never mind in control of the ball

If it’s the Rags or the Dippers.

 

[give it to gordon]

Some of our pass is a joke !

 

[jaiguruKun]

No way, he didn’t have the ball! Or any chance if retrieving it. As regards a pen the ref had a good view so VAR can’t change it.

Whether the ref has a good view is irrelevant. However, I don't think it was a clear and obvious error. Anyway Newcastle have put a lot of energy into this. Hopefully will burn themselves out and we can get a few more goals.

 

[chesterbells]

Sky, City totally unfair the way they keep the ball.

Aw, bless.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Whenever either of our centre backs try to pass forwards more than 10m, we lose it.
