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

[I'm With Stupid]

Not controlling midfield and our inverted full backs mean everyone is out of position when then break forward.

 

[roy.or.r]

will be happy with a point right now.

 

[mancityscot]

It is like we are playing with 9 men. The sheer amount of space newcastle have is outrageous

 

[ws01]

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

What do you think happens in the middle if that were to happen, genius?

 

[RandomJ]

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

Pep needs to lay into himself he's got this all wrong.

 

[ScottSinclair]

They have something to lose now, lets see how they react

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

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

He has been crap all game. They all have

 

[Keeper!]

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

Stones is all over the place and from the kick off

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Ahem!!!

 

[drthingy]

So long as we beat Barca in that vital game

 

[Aphex]

Stop fucking moaning. Jesus Christ, it's not even half time. We usually wouldn't even have 6 points after the first 2 games.

 

[bondsman]

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

Walker trying to step into midfield is killing us. Cancelo just wrong side

 

[wattle]

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

Exactly. It’s madness from pep

 

[Damanino]

I would cancel now the friendly with Barca, last thing we need to go in tired for the Palace game or lose few players to injury due to Barca game.

 

[BlueBanger]

Feel like kalvin philips would make a difference here.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Phillips needs to be on to shore up the midfield .

 

[01cravend]

Pep literally stood next to a constantly wide open Saint-Maximin and still leaving Walker to trundle into midfield where he's doing nothing. Explain

 

[bluealf]

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,

WTF is this shit?

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

They have been electric, Peps current tactics well.........they are electric

 

[Josh_D]

We’ve made only one attempt to play in Haaland. That was a good run from Cancelo earlier but the cut back came too late.
