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

[ZZmaestro]

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.

We're just too slow in possession. Quick ball movement and passes carved them up for the first goal. Too many times the ball gets to Sterling or Kolarov and the attack stagnates. Guardiola will clear that right up.

He would but we then waste another season with Manuel at the helm.

Naive to expect City to beat Newcastle?

After that first half performance absofuckinglutely!

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

 

[Chi-town blues]

Our back four is shaky .

Don't think we're going to blitz them in the second half. We're just too shite right now. Gonna have to grind out a win. Hope I'm wrong

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

not as big a joke as the fact that since then his replacements have spent far more and not recruited anything like the same ability so we can have some sort of succession plan.

Nail on the head right now and i said as much earlier.

Ball out wide, and its either the over lapping fullback stopping and pulling it back or its the wide man stopping and then pulling it back.

Its predictable play all the time and easy for defenders to know whats happening.

No it wasn't. Janmaat was offside, not the 2 in the middle.

Otamendi is going to be another one of those players who takes 2-3 years to look any good... and then he'll make a move to Italy.
