Match Thread | Newcastle vs Man City (13/01/24)

[Blue2202]

Crazy how a game of football can turn so quickly. In control,1-0 up, playing brilliantly, then BAM 2-1 down.

Story of the season in far too many games. Palace, Liverpool, spurs… very fortunate others have dropped as many points. Don’t understand where this talk of a ‘big run’ comes from after a month of playing pub sides. We’ve simply not been good enough in these type of games all season

 

[heslops barnet]

Hate to say, but Doku has been having a 'mare

That’s why we need Jack for games like these……rarely loses the ball even if he passes sideways & back a lot

 

[MellowJoe]

Boring!
Hopefully things pick up 2nd half

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

So Jekyll and Hyde this year. Let’s regroup and put a shift in

 

[Keeper!]

Walker's pace has gone, we look so vunrable against any sort of pace

 

[I'm Blue]

Get Jack and Kev on.
And maybe Kompany ; )

 

[East Level 2]

Usual they get away with all sorts. Why wasn't Troppier booked for kicking ball away? This lot were smashed by the Dippers. We really have regressed defensively this season. Need to win this, because seriously if not League has gone. Dips ain't losing any this season.

Apart from when we go to their place, obviously.

Doku is fantastic at beating his man,but I think he’s better suited for home games only at the moment,gives the ball away/or loses it too easily unfortunately leading to dangerous attacks..

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Duku is shambolic defensively.

Him and Gvardiol on the same side…. Wide open

 

[BoundedCascade]

Grealish for Doku and KDB for Kovacic second half please

 

[dubblue]

Get to HT within a goal, calm down, have an orange, and focus and get back on it. 4-2 city

I’d be astonished if we win this.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Need some leadership second half for fucksake please

 

[super_city_si]

Get him on the right.

So he can lose it over there?

 

[youngbob]

Not been a great half for the "doku is better than grealish" gang. Lets hope that changes 2nd half. I'm sure it will.

He's just flashy and fast. Doesn't make us a better team, especially in games like this.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

A bit harsh

it’s only fair.

Boring haha.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Hate to say, but Doku has been having a 'mare

He looked fine when we were in control but has been shocking since their 2nd, but most of them have.

Kyle walker the worst captain since the geezer who took that tin of beans down to see the titanic.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

so one of the best clubs in the world would buy and play kova just so gvardiol can have a friend? are you actually serious?

Actually big clubs are the ones that have the luxury to do these things. Madrid and Barca have done in with a couple Argentinians and Bayern brought in an obscure Cameroonian player to keep Chupo Moting happy. Clubs do it ALL the time
