Would any of the red shirts had 3 minutes added on tonight? Would they fuck!

I thought that too, which made it even more sweet to get the winner and then only have a couple of minutes left.

I was a bit surprised the ref didn't keep playing for 6 or 7 more minutes after we scored...

 

[big gaz]

That cameo of kev and phil in midfield together was superb. We looked great.
imagine both of them trying to find haaland?

Is that like Where's Wally ?

 

[Mancity1980]

Never forget, Blues

NEVER FORGET

The thing that really gets me about this is not the underestimating the potential, loads of people have done that at some point. It was the ignorance of his fantastic assist record at Wolfsburg.

He tried bless him!

 

[City Man]

no they werent...Mcoist in particular was very positive about us all game.....said it was some of the best football he had seen ever for starters.

McCoist has no axe to grind. Appreciates football. Better than most.

 

[cleavers]

Not sure why we were playing such a high line against a speedy counter attacking side.

Indeed, some of it was ridiculous, they could have scored on 2 or 3 others on similar counters, in the second half we seemed to temper it, and they lost any great threat.

We continually get done by goals like that sadly, it's risk v reward, but against certain times it needs chilling a bit (see second half).

We played some great attacking football first half, but if you don't score that will happen. We seemed to dig in a bit more after half time, and ended up fully deserving our win.

 

[eversince 76]

Wow. What mentality monsters. They are not faultless but feck me, how many times did a Pep Man. City 11 came back in the most spectacular way?!

We ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY deserved the 3 points. Despite shamelessly parking a double decker buss by the hometeam, and letting us do all the work. And the ref on their side as well.
I do respect Eddie Howe as a manager. But I don’t respect the way he set up his (anti) tactics. Best homerecord so far? We destroyed it in play and result.

This was City. Never give up. Brilliant. What a team.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I would die for that bald, mad genius.

Agree about the second half. Ortega made a couple of good saves that kept us in the game but aside from Walker our defence is not the quickest so we should have been a little wiser earlier on to how they were playing.

I swear some people only watch football to complain about refs and commentators, regardless of what the refs or commentators did.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Bobb should have went down from Trippiers trip, so Kyle could have skied the Penalty to hit Bamburgh castle's west wing Turret

 

[Norbert D]

Something odd that I only noticed late on was Toon not doing their usual play acting to stop our flow when still in front but on the ropes.
this tells me their players weren’t prepared to do it today, which kind of reflects on their manager.

 

[cleavers]

KDB, well what can you say, welcome back, and thank goodness, great goal and a lovely assist that lead to a fabulous finish from Bobb.

What I thought what was key to that, and commented on by KdB, was Bobb making the run, he said "if he doesn't make the run, I can't pass it", so whilst a great pass, Bobb made the goal with the run, and his 3 touches were fantastic. He's a real talent.

tell them to give the computers and phones they stole back and fuck off

 

[cleavers]

That's Pep trusting the talent.

 

[Gabriel]

70% possession at St James’ was a pleasant surprise, but 11 shots on target was completely unexpected. Going to be some big victories if we maintain that standard.

 

[Norbert D]

Can’t believe how pumped Pep was, he’s basically a fan who happens to be the manager, love him.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

What a great win Newcastle is a tough place to go even with their injury problems. It was a joy to see KDB back and making another impact from the bench.
