Match Thread | Newcastle vs Man City (12/01/14)

[MCFC-alan88]

Get to half time with a lead and it should take the sting out.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

We need to change things at HT.

Forward off and another on in midfield.

 

[LoveCity]

We need half-time.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

City's midfield needs to show a bit of composure, foot on the ball, slow things down,

I think we'd have been livid if it had been allowed. Honestly I think it's a really tough call. I can see why he made it, the player ducking out of the way must seem more important in real time

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Navas for Nasri to fuck them up with some pace

 

[city951]

also why is silva left and nasri right today? nasri doesnt appear comfortable with it

 

[Mr. Aguia]

Sissoko is getting close to another yellow.

Newcastle 1-0 Manchester City

Playing Devil's advocate - how can Yoan Gouffran move to avoid the ball and then not be interfering with play? Right or wrong, the referee has a big job on his hands to keep this from boiling over now. Maybe Newcastle can use this anger to their advantage. Big Sam style.

The Beeb losing the plot (scoreline)

Wishful thinking. Wankers.

 

[Silva Citizen]

Do them idiots on Sky know the offside rule.

How the hell could the two players in Joe Harts sight line not be interfering with play, one of them even had to move out of the way of the ball (could be interpreted as a dummy)

Offside all the way.
