Match Thread | Newcastle vs Man City (13/01/24)

Another game, another display which shows Gvardiol is not a left back. Not sure what Pep sees in his performances to keep picking him to play there

He is like Walker. Treats the ball like a pulled pin hand-grenade

Very good in certain aspects of the game but even worse in others leading to a completely disjointed performance that feels like year 1 pep.

Pep badly needs to change this formation if we are to salvage this. Play a normal back 4 so we aren't outnumbered at the back everytime they get the ball to start with. Then get our winger on the wing and instruct foden to be more direct when he's picking it up in the pockets. He's had about half a dozen very good shooting opportunities and ignored them all.

No sugar coating it, this will be a complete disaster if we don't win here. Dippers managed it with 10 men.

We weren't outnumbered on either goal. Walker was just fucking lazy.

 

[Keeper!]

Yet we moved heaven and earth for walker to sign a new deal

Expensive mistake if the reported contract length is true

 

[colorado blue]

Not blaming Kyle for either goal. First one he was left with two players and it was a wonder strike, that one started with mistake from Doku. Second one all on Dias, lost ball the middle and we were short at the back again.

We’re handing them this one. Better finishing and not handing them counter attacks and we win this easy.

Funny all these muppet low posters only come on to have a moan.

P@ri@s

KDB time, surely?
Nunes as well, hopefully.

Pep won't make any immediate post half time subs. Just be same old same old. I so flecking fed up of one attack one goal rinse and repeat just insert name of team. Newcastle are gash so what does that make us??

 

[TrentGrisham]

Tbf to Doku he shouldn’t be starting after being out for so long and that’s on Pep.

I mentioned it was surprising to me that he was starting. I'd have even gone with Bobb.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

KDB for Kova, and general boost in focus will do it.

Might be 10-9 then, but not sure who to!

 

[Lowtower]

Far too much space for Foden for it not to be punished eventually

Seriously? His passing is phenomenal.
