Newcastle United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Easy to get carried away by one performance, and we’ll almost certainly get brought back down to earth by Madrid on Wednesday, but that was by far the most encouraging display of the season.

Felt like the new signings were integral to that, and gave the team a renewed energy and purpose. Hope it wasn’t just a flash in the pan, as today gave a glimpse into the future of this side, and for once this season it was a genuine cause of optimism.
 
Didn’t watch the game how did the Uzbek lad play ? Wgat a victory and has some on send gundo kdb and Bernie shoukdnt all be on the pitch .

Thought Nico was the enabler of our excellent play, today.

Filled the Rodri roles extremely well, with calm on the ball, excellent positioning, and passing over the top that caused them to completely change their system for the second half.

Can’t wait for Rodders to be back so they can play together in midfield.

The other thing I noticed about Nico was his leadership. In his first real outing for City, he was very vocal in telling players around him where to position themselves & kept geeing up his team mates & the crowd.

We seemed so much more assured with him at No 6 with the old Dog beside him. Aside from a couple of wayward passes, this was an excellent display from Speedy.

I know it's only one game, but we might be building one of the best young squads in world football. Haaland, Savinho, Marmoush, Foden, Doku, Nico, Khusanov, Gvardiol, Lewis - and we still have Bobb to return and Reis to play! Then we also have Mcatee and Nico O'Reilly showing flashes that they can play at this level.

A couple more signings in the summer and we'll be challenging for the title next season. I hope we keep playing this kind of starting eleven for the rest of the season, it's exciting to see a new generation of city players coming through.

Judging by this unfortunate still that appeared on my FB feed, Goldbridge looks like he's having a wank (probably over his love interest Rasmus "Poundland Haaland" Hojlund) and he's just on the vinegar stroke when his missus walks in the bedroom. 1000205739.jpg

He was excellent. Comfortable on the ball, fast as lightning, covered well, tough battler, passed through the press. I’m getting giddy. I think he’s going to be an integral part of the next great City team.

Yeah, almost from the first whistle it was very encouraging. He wanted the ball at every opportunity, and was ordering his team mates about. He certainly wasn’t shirking responsibility and looked every inch a City player from the off.
 
New signings were all mint today.

Khusanov looks like a cross between Stones and Dias, and faster and stronger than both.

Gonzales looked dead calm on the ball, never rushed, passed forward well, looks physical.

Marmoush was actually a bit erratic and the less consistent of the three but scored a bloody hattrick haha.

Top day.

Players who’ve had shockers this season played really well as well: Lewis and Gündoğan.

Only concerns are that both Haaland and Marmoush limped off when subbed off and Savinho limped off after the game.

Yes, but you know that Pep will revert to the geriatrics of KDB, Bernardo and sideways Grealish. The answer gor any chance at Madrid is slapping him in the face, yet I am certain that he'll ignore it.

First thing needed as a CM, good communication skills and to constantly be bossing players into correct positions. Looked very assured for his first 90 minutes at the club.
