We might be in with a chance of the league when players other than Haaland start putting the ball in the net more regularly. Foden just cannot miss the target with that chance he had and others need to step up. Haaland missed multiple great chances as well and we just expect him to gobble up those chances.

We can blame the ref and VAR, but if we take our chances then anything else is irrelevant.

 

[give it to gordon]

Of course it was, but the ref didn't influence our inability to shoot on target.

Agree but that doesn't give the officials a reason to cheat.
An early penalty if scored might have changed the game.

 

[HelloCity]

Maybe a Rodri / Gonzalez midfield partnership is going to be the way to go in away games.

 

[Mike S]

Now where have I heard that phrase before ? Oh yes scousers !!!

Nah….

This means more to that lot……. apparently :-)

At the end of the day what these wankers are doing is scurrying off drawing up a fuckin cartoon on a computer to whatever they want and then coming back and insulting our intelligence and expecting us to believe it! When we’ve just seen what really happened with our own eyes. Football as we knew it is well and truly over. I used to like watching rugby league until they brought the video ref in. Watching replay after replay from different angles bores the piss out of me and I can’t watch it anymore. But at least in rugby league it’s replayed with the video ref explaining what’s going on it’s transparent. This shite in the premier league they just make up to fit what they want to happen it’s bent as fuck and was there for all to see in plain sight last night!

Rugby League has their version of VAR right i think because the fans can hear the conversation between the ref and VAR officials where in football the fans hear nothing.

We are not privy to what the ref hears in his earpiece and that is the main problem i think. The ref is just a puppet who conveys the blatant VAR corruption in a contrived manner in order to to manipulate the outcome of the game, and this cost us the game imo.

Two stonewall pens denied and their offside goal was allowed to stand was and still is an absolutely fucking disgraceful. I can take being beaten by a better team on the chin but i can't take being cheated so fucking blatantly that I'm still just as annoyed and frustrated the morning after the game.

We were promised VAR would become clearer and better for the game. If anything it's getting more confusing as they keep making shit up as they go along. The bitter bent cunts may as well hand Arsenal the title now because we won't be allowed to win it going by yesterdays shit show of bent as fuck officiating!

 

[Mike S]

You mean they were allowed to kick shit out of us

That’s definitely another way of looking at it…..

 

[Eaststander1]

It still doesn't take away the fact that the refereeing cost us that match. The way it went we could have scored 5 times and they wouldn't have counted.

True, but goals, at important times, can dictate or change matches .... if Foden and Haaland had of put us two goals up at the interval I doubt we'd be on here moaning about the result today ...... but yes, the refereeing was poor, in my opinion so was VAR.

Look at Forest scoring just after half time yesterday, it completely knocked the stuffing out of Liverpool .... in better seasons for Liverpool THEY would be the team scoring just after half time !

 

[ysmsa]

Exactly what I saw, same with the winner though, yet an AI sketch 10 mins later would prove what we saw with our own eyes was incorrect, with leaping salmon Dias playing him on

VAR to AI, "design a graphic showing Newcastle on side"

AI, here you go, "would you like me to create a version you can use to Fuck City over to be shown on tv"

VAR, "yes please"

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Disappointing after recent results and a bright start. Newcastle marginally the better team. Noticeably poor display from Foden, Sav ineffective when he came on. Doku was just about okay. Subs actually made the performance worse - ended up playing walking-pace possession football. So ineffective with corners and when they did come, chances were missed :(
Absolutely nothing from the referee/VAR across the entire game. On the plus side Nunes very good again, The Don, Nico and Dias also good displays. Just one of those days I suppose.
We move on and could do with Arsenal dropping points.

 

[its grim up north]

Inconsistency is what we have at the moment. We have a young team, and bench, that are getting to know each other and will inevitably get better. Then consistency will come. I hate the word transition but that's were we are.
And talking consistency, no foul on Phil because the ball had gone, yet twice more soon after the whistling wanker blew up for two fouls in midfield when fouled after the ball had gone. Why are they not expected to explain?

Sky listening to the real time VAR debate and then watering down and filtering their conclusions, is just wrong and has set a very dangerous precedent.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Deserved loss, atrocious defence and even worse finishing. Summer window is not far away

Not as near as the January window ..

 

[Blue Til Death]

We have two trebles and 4 in a row under our belt with officiating akin to today’s clusterfuck, we lost because we defended poorly and missed way too many bog standard chances to score and put the game to bed early doors…

We are not mard arsed red shirt cry babies, we move on, demolish Dirty Leeds and get back on track ..

 

[Bez]

When we were at our best a few of years ago, if we lost, we only lost by a one goal margin and the opposition needed some good fortune to get the win. Newcastle got that luck last night. I am disappointed in the result, but I can still see the positives.

Main observations....

We could have had 2 penalties.

Haaland probably should have gone to the keeper's right. It was a split second decision. His confidence is sky high and he tried to lob the keeper. It did not work.

Haaland could have had another goal in the first half too.

How did Foden miss by inches? On another night, he would have scored.

Everyone is talking of the second Newcastle goal being offside. It was marginally offside. How the VAR guys did not rule it out is beyond me. That said, there was a foul on Donnarumma that lead up to the second goal that was not even looked at.

Newcastle also had a couple of chances they did not put away.

It was an open and exciting game. Probably too open from Pep's point of view. City were better in the first half, but less effective in the second half.

Newcastle are better than their league position. They never gave up and upset City's rhythm throughout.

How did Tonali not get a yellow or red card? How many fouls were let go the ref in the match?

I'm disappointed. It was a crazy game. Newcastle were very lucky considering some of the VAR decisions. All marginal calls that went their way. On another night, they might not have been so lucky and City would have won 5-2 or something like that.

Many twists and turns to come. After an easier run of fixtures, Arsenal have some tougher games. If we are thereabouts in January we may still have a chance. All is not lost. Just one game.

Come on City!

 

[the blue panther]

We usually get kicked off the park at Newcastle. We were due to be fucked over by VAR. If we'd had our shooting boots on, we'd have won that match comfortably. A bad day at the office in terms of result but not in terms of performance.

My only quibble is Savinho for Doku: what is the fuckin' point?

Come on you Spursey lot, otherwise we need a 5 month winning run.

 

[Eccles Blue]

I’ve just watched MOTD and even with their biased editing I can see what folks mean about the ‘officiating’! Disgraceful.

Pep wasn’t happy with the officials at the end I noticed.

 

[ysmsa]

Got home at 2300hrs.
Thought we started well but didn't take our chances. Foden, Haaland.
They missed 1 or 2 aswell and Gigi made some great saves.
Both teams were poor.
Nunes and Dias were my MOTM by a mile. Nico didn't do a lot wrong.
2 x shit teams, shit result. Move on.

Note the ref was a total **** and booked Bobb for his 1st one yet Joelinton got away with 5 before being booked.
See you Tuesday

Both teams poor!

It was a very good game, lots of chances created through good play and great saves.

That isn't the sign of poor teams.

For me, our sharpness was off a little (international break) and Newcastle were up for it.

Could've gone either way but we were against the officials and got nowt.

 

[Sky Blue]

If Eddie Waring was alive he'd be perfect for commentating on a Newcastle game.

 

[hilts]

Its still November and you claim the title as gone to Arsenal. My guess you said the same the last 3 seasons.
GET A GRIP.
we lost to Newcastle away from home.
plenty of teams will get zero points in Newcastle. CTID

Just my opinion, think Arsenal are more consistent. Its based on what ive seen from the team overall this season, its not a pop lots of teams are bunched up because they are inconsistent. People talk about who they think will win the league all the time.
Get a get grip would indicate im stressed in some way, im not. The only ones needing to get a grip are people moaning about an opinion, its a football forum after all, very odd.

 

[mancboy]

isnt the outrage in the media about FOUR contentious decisions going against city conspicuous by its absence today, almost like it was contrived.
