Match Thread | Newcastle vs. Manchester City (22/11/25)

[heslops barnet]

I'm going for a piss. Hope I hit the target better than that lot.

Dribbling?

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

I shit myself when donnarumma has the ball at his feet.

Luckily he makes up for it with outstanding saves - which is more important ;)?

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

Decent half, but frustrating not to be ahead. Missed some golden chances, and were robbed of two stonewall penalties. They’ve missed some good chances themselves tbf. Could still go either way this.

Not sure on tje penalties, foden had already shot then got wiped out, not sure if you mean the handball one as well? If so I think we may have had a case on that one

 

[bert38]

Newcastle getting away with constant clogging.

Anyone else pass out when.we get a set piece

Yes, with boredom. Nothing ever comes of it, unless opponents win the ball (I've seen it happen) and score a breakaway.

Terrific game. Donna, O'Reilly, Gonzalez and Doku our best players so far. Doku's the best creator in the league now.

Haaland and Foden should have done better with their chances. Cherki and Foden try some risky tricks in midfield that are a bit unnecessary. Keep the ball in the middle third, try tricks in their third.

 

[christened at st marks]

3 Pens not given in the 1st 21 mins, Foden scared to death, we really need some bottle in the midfield to give it them back late tackles everywhere not 1 booking

 

[OrigamiNinja]

A good half for the neutrals that.

Both central defences are all over the show.

I think we are really poor off the ball in the middle of the park. Bernie and Nico have been far too easy to play through.

Some of the worst finishing you’re ever likely to see there. Both sides.

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

That foul on Phil is 100% a free-kick outside the box, even if he’d got the ball away. Absolute disgrace that VAR cleared that.

 

[Chak19]

Doku and Donnarumma our best players, another poor away performance overall so far, and our second halves tend to be even worse, maybe it changes tonight.

Not liked we'd score a penalty anyway, it's the Foden chance that's unforgivable

 

[Macca3]

Barcodes will tire in the second half. We just need to move the ball a bit quicker & of course take our chances!

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

good half, anyone's game

It was awful - yeah there was grit and application from both teams, but a distinct lack of quality

 

[Zenmanc]

"No goals in this" "Late Newcastle winner" "Not in this one"

With this mettle how are we not all speaking German.

 

[super_city_si]

We are doing ok just think cherki is offering nothing & needs to come off & play a more defensive midfielder.

They have only had chances of our mistakes
We have cut them open several times

Little tweak & we win this

Don’t disagree but we don’t have anyone. Reijnders has shown he cant play that role.

 

[Gabriel]

One of those games where the officials look intent on making no meaningful decisions either way.

 

[colorado blue]

Would like to see replay of pull on Doku after VAR only looked at handball.

 

[IronsideKozuch]

Chance for chance is not my favourite summary of our half, but with Haaland for us and at tough away ground you gonna take it. Phil needs to take one of two good chances, one been a sitter. O'Reilly, Donnarumma and Nico best for us so far.

Just need to be a little tigher at the back and take one of our chances. They gonna come

 

[burning blue soul]

I've got a suspicion that VAR are re-reffing the dipper game under orders

 

[Phoenix900000]

Loads of chances for both sides

Shocked that penalty wasn't given
