Newcastle United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

He’s 22. People wrote Salah of at that age. He has the attributes is fans just need to trust Pep and the club.

I’m not sure how calling Doku an average signing is writing him off. I’m just saying it as I see it. Don’t forget, he cost £50 million and was the replacement for Mahrez and Palmer.

We both agree he has the attributes, he just needs to start showing it on a consistent basis.
 
I think Walker has had a really poor start to the season and he didnt look particularly good today either, but us losing today's game is certainly not on him.
Yeah I'm worried he might be "finished" and that it could be a problem going forward with him being the captain and demanding minutes, but let's keep the critique sensible. Many players struggled today, not just Walker.
We lost today?
 
He will also continue with that ridiculous high line defence when leading away from home, it’s Peps achilles heal as far as I’m concerned.
It wouldn't be so bad if we went quickly on the attack when we win the ball back high up the pitch. But all too often we play the ball around for ages allowing defenders to get into position.
 
Tough place to go they were well up for it, enjoyed the game and either team could have won.
 
Not too disheartened with that . Thought we looked very solid . Never easy going there especially without 3 of our best players not starting . It’s been a turbulent week with the fall out of the Arsenal game and the huge blow of Rodri being ruled out for the season but we’re still unbeaten and it’s early in the season . A lot to look forward to ! Gvardiol immense today
 
Man City boss Pep Guardiola to TNT Sports: "They had moments in first ten minutes and after their goal, but in general we played really good.

"We made bad decisions at the last minute to make it 2-0. It is always difficult here with their physicality and they defend so deep. We had chances but [Nick] Pope was brilliant so we take the point.

"When we scored we played better. We make a mistake and after they play better. But then we take the game again and had chances to win it.

On Mateo Kovacic and Rico Lewis: "Mateo was brilliant, Rico too. Bernardo played there. Really good."
