Match Thread | Manchester City vs Newcastle (03/10/15)

What song did we play instead of Blue Moon, missed the start of the game.

I think it was fog on the Tyne?

The lineman bailed us out, their second goal was 110% onside and valid.
Two goals behind would have been a hell of a mountain to climb. We could still be winning this if our fullbacks stay cautious and focus on defending.

You're forgetting that one of them is Kolarov ;-)

We have players with pace and amazing counter-attacking qualities now.

We don't have to play such a high line all the time.

our defense can drop deeper allow the opposition to have a bit more space and in turn give space to the likes of KDB, Sterling, Navas and Aguero.

We'd carve them up, but we have this odd fetish with high line tika taka.

After that first half performance absofuckinglutely!

As I said at halftime of the BMGB match, it wasn't as bad as some people on here are making it out to be.

It's a team game and as a TEAM it wasn't a great half. But we have started to pick up.
Here's to a much improved 2nd half :)

As a team we were awful, no doubt. But there have still been individual performances that have been better/worse than others!
I'll certainly second your last line though :-)

Zaba got suckered in by Mbabu but we had more than enough back to deal with their goal. Manga completely leaves him

So disjointed in attack. Only Silva can find a man on a regullar basis. Sterling and KDB can't fucking pass the ball half the time. We had more control over games with Nasri.

Too much of an end to end clusterfuck, that half

 

[TFC]

Would like to see Navas on before 60 mins, give us a direct outlet.

 

[Sergio Picasso Aguero]

its a joke though that we realy so much on the same players garry cook bought us 4-6 years ago

If Yaya and Demichelis were in this team we could have been destroyed by now. Defensively we are a mess.

 

[Theengelbert]

Just seen Charlie Adams attempt! Nearly scored from half way line again. Outrageous!!

Soriano & Txiki as long as they are running the football side, we are not going to change our style..... its a bit strange that we try to play like Barca but we don't have Iniesta, Xavi etc quality players who can play that type of football.
