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

[M43 blue]

Gotta take walker off one of the worse half I've seen from him get gomez on left move cancelo to right

 

[christened at st marks]

He is exposing Walker it is not Walker's fault fucking stupid with Maximum getting Walker to play the midfield inverted FB

 

[Newman Noggs]

Disappointing first half. The midfield isn't working. Bernie and Foden having very littlecsay in the proceedings. Hope Pep has some idea howvto change it round.

 

[handsofstone]

Absolutely rubbish

Well done Newcastle, shades of Palace where they saw that if they just run at us and take us on 1 vs 1 we are weak at the back

Need a big improvement to get something from this

 

[ctwrd]

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

Same as how we used to play genius

 

[blue for life]

Getting on my tits as well

Turned the sound off

 

[Matt the Giant]

Bernardo other than the first goal has been a passenger

Agreed.
Needs to be replaced with Alavarez.

 

[jollylescott]

Fees like some complacency in our team. They are hungry, we are not.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

I’d be pretty confused and frustrated if I was Haaland.

 

[bitterblue78]

Only twice since 1995 we have won from being behind at half time away from home in the premier league

 

[Blu1]

Oh stop it

Every time they came down our right they were in on goal & we didn’t change it. Not 1 or 2 chances but many. We should of put an extra player between walker & Bernie as both are having shockers

 

[half & half derby scarf]

Deserved lead for toon. I'll go 3-2 City as we can't be as bad 2nd half

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Phillips or Bernardo in midfield please.

They’ll score again if we don’t change something.

It could be about 5-3. Crazy game and kamikaze tactics against a strong Newcastle team.

 

[Semper aggressus]

This is fucking wank. Unacceptable bullshit fucking performance. Fucking step it up City this is shit.

 

[mat]

Get the loss out the way early in the season.

Other teams aren't upto speed yet.

 

[handsofstone]

Also....this inverted FB shit is just not working

Why not mix it up? We're getting fucked

Surely that's on Pep to tell them to stick to their positions

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

Well that was bollocks. Still, we've been here before and not looked like getting back into it, and went on to win. Can only hope this is one of those times. They'll probably be shagged into the late second half.

Lol

 

[skillman]

Not often that a team obviously wants the game more than we do. They’ve been all over us really.

Hopefully a bollocking at half time and some tactical tweaks turn the game on its head. Need to get Gundo and KDB in the pockets more often than we have - results in either a pass to Haaland or him dragging defenders away allowing a shot.

 

[cookster]

Worst half under Pep since Leicester. 6 clear chances created, should be more behind.
Rodri getting bullied, Foden and KDB making the wrong decisions, Haaland should have had 2 tap ins.
