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

[skillman]

Newcastle fans getting on the players back when they’re trying to play from the back. Didn’t they boo Bruce for years because of the opposite?!

 

[maurizio]

Unfortunately Sterling and Jesus are not on the same wavelength in this game

 

[samuelyeboah]

didn't enjoy this half too much gotta say. 2-0 up not a fair representation of how it went

 

[Chi-town blues]

miss

 

[LongsightM13]

Grealish and Foden badly needed for Sterling and Kevin.

Or Mahrez. Front three have all been poor though at least Jesus is grafting

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

I can not believe how poor raz, Mahrez, Kev & Jesus have been. None of them look interested

Gabby’s been pretty good

 

[I'm Blue]

That’ll do.
Kick em up the arse Pep.
Thank fuck we’re 2-0 up.

 

[kaz7]

I find it hilarious that people will sit on here and say 9 or 10 of our league leading, 3-titles-in-4-years players are shit instead of saying "Oh actually Newcastle are playing pretty well here".

We are really slack

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Goalkeeper? Nah im also on sky and its former sheffield Wednesday centre half matt le tissier

The one who pushed the ref over?

 

[Gabriel]

What is the point of Joe Linton?

Is he related to Joelinton?

Strange thing is that he has traditionally played up front or on the wing, but he’s playing a midfield role today and putting physical pressure on us. Certainly made life hard for Rodri, but he’s expending so much energy I’m not sure he’ll be able to keep it up.

 

[hilts]

Front 3 and midfield no cohesion. missing foden and grealish linking up from deeper

Missing gundog more in fairness but we can't play him every game.

 

[Norbert D]

So when did Dias get twatted? Nasty cut that, these wankers have been sent out to be nasty twats.

 

[Mr HJ]

and that’s being kind.

Yep it is clear that Kev plays so much better when he has the movement of Phil and Jack. Still I'll take 2-0 at half time in any game.

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

Been a very strange game this

For sure. Glad we're two up, that's all I can say. A real bad tempered sloppy and frantic game. I'd take the final whistle now I think, unless they both calm the fuck down in the second. A red looks almost inevitable at this point, or a nasty injury.

 

[Gogootz]

Geordies actually giving it a go as opposed to putting all men and their dogs in the box like we usually face week in week out, fortunately we've got the goals despite not being at our best. Keep it tight second half and let's get another to kill it off.

 

[youngbob]

Am I going mental. How was that a penalty? Fraser never had the ball. Cancelo took it away, Ederson and Fraser collided. That's not a penalty.

 

[M Gaudino]

well done lads. for once the score outweighs the performance in our favour.

Gundo on for a bit of control ?

 

[PaleBlue]

Mahrez unusually poor today, get Grealish on.

 

[Chi-town blues]

almost that was a shot from raz

 

[jimharri]

Eddy's having a dodgy game so far. But, it's still a clean sheet.
