Newcastle (H) - Sun 8th May, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

I want to see the players quietly angry, and utterly determined. I want them to punish Newcastle, and then punish them again. And again.

 

[Blu1]

Pep & the team need to hear us on Sunday like never before. My worry is if pep thinks he’s let us down & we don’t want him he will walk.

Pep needs to hear his song loud all game

 

[its a Barm]

The team need us more than any other time this year, they and us are hurting like fuck we need to get through the next game as one.

Our team isn't like that. Plus our players aren't clinical enough to punish teams.

Really need Grealish and Sterling to step up - what's the chances of that at this stage of the season?

Right c'mon City

We have 4 games, against teams we're vastly superior to, who have virtually nothing to play for

Losing the league from here will be infinitely more painful than last night

Er… Leeds 0 City 4 anyone?

 

[bluemoon32]

The fans will get behind the team, give them a rousing reception & do their part.
The players then need to step up & do theirs

Slim to none.

Last night summed up Grealish at City, had the chance to grab a big goal which should have seen us through to the final.

Fine margins that he has seemed to be on the wrong side of all season.

The last thing we needed last night was more injuries & extra time. The team will be devastated & Pep needs to use all of his management skills to get them through the final 4 games.

I'll settle for us winning the next 4 games.

 

[journolud]

The players probably running on fumes. Four very difficult games in the Champions League and all the pressure that goes with it, an accumulation of injuries and a host of missed chances.

Hopefully we’re a different proposition next season with strikers but meanwhile I’ll be right behind them on Sunday. Think we’ll limp over the line to keep the title that matters most

 

[Gabriel]

Feels rather reminiscent of 2019 when we played Spurs after they’d just put us out of the Champions League. We scored early in that game, Foden, but it was a horribly nervy affair and we were on fumes in the second half. That game was a Saturday lunchtime affair, but this year we’ve done ET as well; at least this time we have an extra day of recovery.

Ederson; Cancelo Dias Laporte Ake; Rodri KDB Bernardo; Foden Jesus Mahrez

Just look at that team. We are playing Newcastle not Barca 2011

No point resting players, we've only got 4 games left

 

[Claytop]

If we score first we’ll be fine, when was the last time we were behind in the league?…

2-0

 

[Claytop]

2-0

Spurs game?

I know it’s been said before but I worry if we concede first.

Thankfully it doesn’t happen often!

 

[Fernster]

Even after the massive disappointment of last night I bloody love Man City!!
We are still the best team in the league, with the best manager and are run in an amazing way.
This is football at its best with the highs and lows of following such a great team.
Anybody who hates us and slags us off is purely out of jealousy.
I will never fall into the trap of expecting to win before we kick a ball unlike the shitshow in Trafford.
I will back the team and am proud to be a City Fan and have been for 48 years.
I'm having the ride of my life with this Club and hopefully continue this high for many more years to come.

CTID!!!
