[deano ou812]

We look like we are treading water here,went a goal up and thought that’s that ..

 

[Aphex]

Isnt the match day thread a place to discuss the game as it unfolds?

Of course. And I'm discussing stop bloody moaning.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Fast strong willing teams are our kryptonite.

 

[ws01]

This is where we miss Raz and his speed

You could take Gundo off, drop Bernie back, and vastly improve the setup

 

[super_city_si]

Might be a game for Phillips if hes fit. They are just dominating the sexond ball in the middle.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

All set up for a loss this

 

[Keeper!]

Pep’s halftime team talk should be “calm down ffs”

Calm down? FFS wake up more like

 

[bluealf]

Walker today looks his age

Yoda like you sound

 

[red 2 hats]

Walker keep pushing into midfield is leaving us wide open and asm is ripping us to pieces

 

[kingdoneg]

Sorry, but as soon as I saw the Newcastle line up an saw the speed they have up front and in midfield. I just knew we would struggle to contain them. We very rarely know haw to handle a team with fast forwards who are technically gifted. IMHO.

Still think we can pull this game back in the second half.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Inverted full-backs not the greatest ploy against ASM

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Defenders taking the day off today, it seems.

Birthdays?

 

[I'm Blue]

Kyle needs a slap to wake him up

 

[OntarioBlue]

I dont pretend to be a master tactician but surely playing against two speedy wingers without fullbacks is a mistake.

 

[come-on-barney]

Walker keep pushing into midfield is leaving us wide open and asm is ripping us to pieces

Tactics I’m afraid

 

[city warrior]

People here are so overdramatic. If Foden had passed back to Haaland(again same mistake by Foden) we woild have been 0-2 and game over. We still are getting and will get some good chances. They have ran a lot, they'll be tired on 2nd half

 

[pudge]

Far too slow in possession and releasing the ball today.

Think Bernie's off the boil as well.

 

[buckshot]

They still haven't figured out how to utilize Haaland.

His forward passing when there has been shite aS well!

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

Getting bullied all over the pitch
We've got a 7 foot centre forward and no fucker passes to him

Exactly. We buy a striker who thrives on great service and so far this season not seen much of that. He looks like he's being left alone to do his own thing.
