Match Thread | Newcastle vs Man City (21/08/22)

[ctwrd]

Most problems seem to be the fact Walker is inside. Just stick him back to a proper rb and these attacks stop

 

[Keeper!]

Doesn't trust Haaland..not sure if Haaland's other attributes will compensate for his lack of technique. Can't coach touch really this stage in his career,

He is a greedy bastard

 

[brummie blue]

F**k me, Walker is 10 yards in there half when that long ball is played, challenging for a header, Bernie is nearer the Newcastle winger, Stone has to move over to cover leaving a massive gap.

Pep needs to change this system, it's so not suited to this game or to Walkers talents.

 

[bluealf]

dear god

 

[Chipmeister]

We playing with two at the back both full backs inverted and high it’s kamikaze stuff

 

[crossbar]

Fucking arrogance to think that we can play with Rodri alone with this kind of speed

You could see this problem coming from a long way. Just a few minutes in it was obvious Rodri can’t stop anything.

 

[buckshot]

Let's square this up and get to the break.

Most posters here think he's a headless chicken

He always looks good against City, nobody can stay with him.

 

[Roachy]

What the fuck was that defending? Pathetic.

 

[hilts]

Pull the full backs back wide and drop Silva into midfield next to Rodri. Can't believe Pep is just sat there.

 

[SidJames]

WTF AS HE DONE TO OUR SHAPE.

WHAT FUCKING SYSTEM IS THIS

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Sorry but stones and walked all over the show, weak to say the least

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Midfield is nonexistent just walking through us

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Stones has been wank today

How can you blame him? He’s got Saint-Maximin running straight at him as Peps making Walker play in midfield.

 

[dela]

Can't belive hiw bad we are defensively.

 

[bobmcfc]

All on pep. His lack of reaction at times is bizarre. Our right side is weak. Bernie not in the game

Oh stop it

 

[jimharri]

Grim stuff so far. Pep needs to lay into them at half time. Newcastle deserve to be ahead.

 

[super_city_si]

Needs change big time. Were getting twatted every time they go forward

 

[paulchapo]

Arrogance and complacency. Go into games with that attitude and then wasting chances and it bites you in the arse.

 

[I'm Blue]

Certainly missing Ake

 

[kupest]

Stones need to be better here
