I'm struggling with the jock and his expert analysis

Newcastle aren't even bad today, we just look so much better than I expected. Obviously just the one goal in front, I'm not saying we will definitely win but just that first half performance with the new Croatians playing very well and our missing players not being missed, couldn't ask for anything more right now.

Excellent half. Well done boys.

Jack is too predictable

Strange as last season he was running at them. He looks scared of losing the ball again. Clearly pep instructions

Kovacic Rodri is just unreal. Also Dias being back makes us 2 times more solid defensevely. No silly errors, while agains Sevilla we had one every 5-10 minutes.

Rodri is the 1st player on the team sheet for me. Also I’ve got to admit I wasn’t sure whether Kovacic would give enough going forward but the position he sits in next to Rodri when the opposition has the ball he is superb.

Foden, Dias, Akanji, Grealish, Alvarez, have been brilliant

Was a bit apprehensive about this game but so far so good..

Watching in a bar in Cyprus and thought we’ve been fantastic. It’s BEIN coverage and the first thing the ht break brings is Keys and Gray piling into the shots on target and Haaland touches. ‘This is not what I watch football for!’. These two are insufferable. The hairy handed adulterer in particular absolutely hates City!

Keys is a ****.

Is this really the matchday thread? ;-) (first half)

 

[Blu1]

Next goal is huge.

Come on city

Kova & Phil majestic, Jack needs to step up and become more of a goal threat.
Phil is fucking awesome in that midfield.

Agree. Jack needs to be less predictable. His most dangerous moment came when the ball deflected onto his left foot and he put the cross in first time.
