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

Nothing wrong with his head, just age has caught up with him

I mean his positioning and desire is completely ass today.

 

[TrentGrisham]

I've said for months now-who cares if Lewis is a crap defender? At this moment in time, so is Walker. The former would at least help us in the attacking third more. That Walker assist to Bernie is the obvious exception.

 

[vanchi]

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

and they even took the risk and bought kova immediately when gvardiol’s transfer was far from done? wow they must have REALLY wanted gvardiol.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

We are so close to being our absolute imperious best, but we are full of silly mistakes and vulnerable to a counter, it's so frustrating. The double pivot in the middle isn't doing enough to let our front players do whatever they want and our fullbacks play as wingers.

 

[cookster]

City beating City again.
Brittle defence, not taking chances.

Dias and Walker, piss poor.

 

[Blackley_Blue]

Walker shite, but we can't take him off cos the other 3 defenders have to be collectively the slowest in the league.

All 3 turn like tanks and up against Gordon and Almiron is a disaster.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Same old same old shite. Simple long balls over the top onto runners and we are getting undone.

2 Carbon copy goals.

We won't retain any trophies when we are as fragile defensively as this.

 

[WorthlessPoster]

Only a goal down, w KdB on the bench. We'll get the 3 points today.

 

[Millennium]

Two goals scored exactly the same way!!! The defence line is easly beaten and the keeper position and mobility is poor.

 

[argyle]

LOL , he has had a class game today, Gundo is gone, get over it

The fuck u been watching? He's been crap.

 

[KevinMuscat]

Doku the only one in that front line with a bit of pace, Bernardo and Alvarez are no threat at getting in behind so we pass until they have a full low block set up.

 

[kenbelly]

We have again played some great football, foden on the half turn is superb in the middle, Kyle and Ruben have been poor. Still all to play for, get Kev on.

 

[RiversideBlue]

We'll win this 4-2.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Walker has this in his locker, arrogant as fuck the way he pottered across to Gordon, and also terrible defending for the first.

Dias is having a poor game as well, he never looks as good in the right CB position.

Fuck me, we were tearing these cunts apart until they scored.

Pep masterclass and let’s muller these cunts second half.

 

[youngbob]

Grealish is what you’re begging for and that would have just meant 25 back passes . The reason we’re losing is inability to defend.

An inability to defend because we have no shape and it takes two passes to cut through us after Doku loses it and doesn't get back in position.

 

[madloaf]

Thought we actually played well

Unlucky to be behind

First sentence correct. 2nd not so.

 

[christened at st marks]

If we win this it will be a miracle
But they are a poor team
All they have is long ball and crowd

And a shithouse ref

 

[samuelyeboah]

can't string 3 good games in a row can we..

 

[Keeper!]

I mean his positioning and desire is completely ass today.

pace is shot , as is his ability to recover.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Walker needs a good wank.

Are you volunteering?
