Match Thread | Newcastle vs. Man City (28/09/24)

[Tricky_Trev]

Pep’s our set piece coach. We scored the third highest amount of goals from set pieces last season.

Carlos Vicens is our set piece coach.

 

[pudge]

That may have been our best ever corner routine, Haaland with the flick on to Grealish

 

[Mancity1980]

So slow and ponderous, can’t understand why we’ve gone without any pace in Doku and Savinho and someone that can actually pick a pass or shoot in Foden

To deal with the lack of control in midfield due to Rodri’s injury by utilising Grealish and sacrificing Doku and Savinho. We still have those two and Foden on the bench if needed later on. I get it though it is frustrating.

 

[Keeper!]

Get Lewis on that left side helping out Gvaridol

 

[B\connellblue]

This is as bad as we've played in yonks. Shocking stuff.

 

[chesterbells]

His passing will still be good when he’s in his 60s, he’s a magnificent footballer.

But his speed, fitness and athleticism looks more than a year older than the last time we saw him in sky blue.

Yeah, I won’t get into it too much now cos I wanna watch the game, but I’m not sure he was ever a player with a game based on speed and athleticism.

 

[blue moony]

Peps knicked Artetas bus

 

[Blu1]

We are so open on every set piece. Surley pep can see this

 

[striver]

We have one - Pep talked to him in the Arsenal game, so they could take Doku off Gabriel to allow Walker to give him a free run. This week, the genius has matched Lewis with Burn

somebody stealing a living :)

 

[.db.]

Grealish and Gvardiol are the only ones playing for us so far.

 

[don84]

This is fecking direct football at its peak

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

We’ve got no creativity in the midfield at all. It’s not going to happen, but if fodens not ready I’d give Mcatee a chance in the second half.

He’s the one player who can create something from nothing.

 

[wolviedinho]

Bernie deeper to start attacks is needed.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Not enjoying this at all.

 

[Gabriel]

This game is no different from any we’ve had against Newcastle up there in recent times. They’re up for it, aggressive bordering on thuggish, and the officials are cowed into letting it go. Nearly a third gone and we still haven’t settled.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Kicking fuck out of us again same as every week...

 

[madloaf]

Pep’s our set piece coach. We scored the third highest amount of goals from set pieces last season

That's the raw numbers. What was it percentage wise? We must have more corners and freekicks than most.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Yellow cards, damn remember them... wow

 

[MadchesterCity]

This is fucken shit, only a matter of time before we concede

Weird XI isn't it.
