I did think we missed Grealish a lot today, that was the kind of game that suits him and he really helps us in.

The crass, stupid, infantile remarks made by Jack Grealish about Almiron at the end of last season explain the Newcastle United performance today.
I’m still waiting to see a single match where Grealish makes a difference.
Strangest transfer ever??

Thought Newcastle were very good today although I’m not sure doing a lap of honour in August is necessarily the way forward.
They’ll still struggle against anyone that sits back, as more teams will do against them now.

Love the sky presenter suggesting Newcastle have shown everyone else how to beat us, as always happens!

They say that every time we lose a match.
The theory might look simple, trying to execute it can have you 3-0 down at half time when City are on it.

The words “Off the floor” and “out of control” are not in the laws of the game when it comes to red card offence. They are phrases that shit pundits have been using for too long because they don’t know the laws of the game. You can be off the floor and out of control and it just be a free kick with no card shown.


There was no excessive force. The bullet point for a caution (yellow card) is exactly what Tripper’s offence was.

You forgot "Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play".

Of course "out of control" is a factor in judging serious foul play.

Maybe. But pep has this uncanny knack of knowing what he's fucking doing.
Grealish wasn't signed to make a difference, we already have a difference.

Watched it back a few times now, the two players were running at similar pace, and the high foot that came across kev had about as much power as a fart in the wind.
Its a shit foul at best. He tripped him up at knee level.
It's borderline yellow, never mind red.
kev gets up and gets on with it.
I thought it was a great decision

Agreed. I was surprised it was a red to begin with. I thought going in toe-first rather than studs first showed how Trippier was trying to avoid injuring the player while still committing a “professional foul”. You could see Trippier telling Kev he was trying to avoid hurting him and Kev knew that I think. I can definitely see the other side — it COULD have been dangerous and maybe a red is needed just for “could haves” — but I agree with you. And this coming from me, still absolutely livid about Milner’s foul on Silva last year which was far more cynical, painful AND he was on a yellow. Of course I wanted Trippier gone but glad for the “game” writ large the card was reversed. I think the ref got it right in the end and TBH had a good game overall.

So why do you think Grealish was signed?
Pep does not have this uncanny knack of knowing what he’s fucking doing - he’s brilliant in winning league titles but ……..flawed in key cup matches

Watched on a different channel today and only just watched the Sky highlights.

The difference in commentary between them and us was laughable.

I know they want a good underdog story but they crossed into outright being disappointed when we equalised.

Just check the commentary decibels for their third and our third...
 
A couple of worries for me.

Walker looked shot, for the first time ever he started to look his age, hopefully just a bad game but also maybe a sign his pace is going and if that's the case we need to worry.

Foden, a guy with undoubted talent but is he starting to believe his own hype? Why has he not signed his contract, is the club reluctant to commit? Whatever he needs to get his head back in the game, and start playing the team game, he is clearly pissing off Haaland and rightly so, the big man should have another two goals for us in the last games but has not because of Fodens greed.

Finally we have a world class striker in our team, making amazing runs, for gods sake get the ball to him early, feed him and this big daft Viking will score goals for fun.

Not strange just a huge, expensive, luxury one.

Maybe we thought Bernardo was leaving last season but even then the guy is second rate compared to Bernardo.

We lack athleticism in the center of midfield and have done for some time, yesterday Rodri was overrun , is Phillips the answer?

Big shout out for Gundongan, I thought he was total class yesterday, wonderful performance.

All this bloody tactics and tweaking…..might change my post name.
Cotontoquinn is new Edersontohaaland.
 
The lack of depth of FBs is worrying
With 5 subs rule, more and more mid table team will push the winger running forward and target Cancelo and Walker. Get them a yellow and then they will have a field day.

Gomaz and Rico are great but they don't have much PL experiences.

We should do some Ashley Young style signing. Signing an old seasoned PL experienced full back who are happy to staying on the bench but can be useful at times. At least give the opposite something to worry about. Perhaps not as old as Young.
 
Pep and fullbacks…….huge amount of money spent and still WTF.
I would love it, absolutely love it if we had 2 fullbacks who could defend really well and kick it into Row Z if required…….
Know that it’s not going to happen.
