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

Maybe take Rodri off given his card, put Fernandinho on to sort out Joelinton.

That would work out well…….

 

[SidJames]

The opposition want to Brawl, rather than play football.

This has not helped the game.

We are still dominating.

That front 3 of Sterling ,Mahrez, Jesus is our weakest link.

Sterling and Mahrez simply give the Ball away too much.

Sterling Hospital Ball that, under hit pass that allow Newcastle to come in and try cripple Bernado,

When it gets physical a couple of our guys dont want to know. Dont need to point them out.

 

[ScottSinclair]

They watched it and watched the player go into edison on purpose. Plus we had control of the ball. No penalty

Of course it was

 

[bluealf]

Rodri has been shite

along with KDB, Zinchenko, Sterling, Dias, Jesus.

All bar two of your posts in this thread are slagging players off.

WTF do you get out of it?

Can’t wait for the Sky inquest into the ”penalty”

It will cover the entire half time break

 

[Shaffer92]

No just take sterling off !

Pep never wants to hurt his feelings.. He'll stay on. I'd put my house on it.

 

[domalino]

we had basically 2 chances the entire half, one of them an awful defensive blunder and one a banger from outside the box. they apparently deserved a penalty. i think 2-0 is flattering.

That's exactly what I said? They have a shit defence and keeper who let Cancelo run 25 yards before hitting it pretty much down the middle of the goal and not saving it.

The good midfield is putting the brakes on our chance creation but when we get through they're fucked.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Just realized Mahrez got an assist for Cancelo’s goal hahaha. Really put it on a plate for him

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Sterling & Mahrez are just the two players you’d want in the trenches with you……

and Foden and Zabba

Can’t wait for the Sky inquest into the ”penalty”

‘The Sky Loop’

The fuck is Jermain Defoe doing on a City-Newcastle game?!

Defoe, Redknapp and Carragher?? Fuck off Sky.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Fortunate to be 2 up, think we've been poor by our normal standards tbh. Been booked for every tackle so far, what a joke. We have to be careful to avoid any unnecessary reds. If they score from a set piece we look a bit fragile.

 

[kaz7]

No just take sterling off !

No, put him where he plays best

 

[samuelyeboah]

anyway can't ask for much more than 3 points this time of year

 

[youngbob]

In fairness to you, it was only a penalty if you go by the rules.

Is Old Bob there to talk you through it?

What rule says that's a penalty? Cancelo took the ball, Ederson and Fraser collided. If Cancelo isn't there, Ederson just picks the ball up. There's nothing he can do, Fraser isn't impeded. Cancelo may as well have been 40 yards away. Glad it wasn't given.

 

[Mancity1980]

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.

How can it be a clear and obvious error if he had a full eyeball on it and judged it no pen? A VAR replay would not show him anything he missed.

 

[Shaffer92]

The fuck is Jermain Defoe doing on a City-Newcastle game?!

he was coached by Howe, I believe

 

[N1985]

I’ll be back in a minute

Veryyyyy nice pal

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

The fuck is Jermain Defoe doing on a City-Newcastle game?!

Defoe, Redknapp and Carragher?? Fuck off Sky.

Spurs game follows, I guess.
