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

[Brewster's millions]

He’s being asked to play further forward than Phil and then people are shocked he’s not the first man back in the defensive line.

Doesn’t matter how fast you are, you can’t beat the ball, and they can hoof it to Gordon far quicker than anyone can go from hanging around the opposition box to defending their own.

But he’s been in the tabloids so people are desperately looking to attack him for something.

That would be a good theory if Walker wasn’t in fact our deepest defender on both the goals.

really frustrating as we had a spell of 20 mins that was some of the best stuff we have played for ages and then 2 bits of awful defending

how some are giving Kyle a pass for how he is playing i have no idea, he has been dreadful for weeks, pace is going but he is putting minimal effort in to facing up his man as well, captain or not he need fucking off for a few weeks while he sorts himself out

Pep needs to have a think as well, buy a CB and play him LB which really doesn't work and persist in this high line which we haven't currently got the players to do

 

[Gorbachev]

The worry for this team this season is when we collapse we don't half collapse.

It's all a bit...Arsenal like.

Not a fucking chance Grealish shits out of that tackle

Not a chance Grealish goes forward with the ball - we were dominating. Losing the ball outside their box shouldn’t mean we concede.

 

[TrentGrisham]

I'd seriously consider bringing Bobb on. Nunes too. We need legs to help with their transitions.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Geordies cry arsing about Gordon FFS. That's a defensive block you see every game at every corner and he threw himself on the floor the soft ****. Dias was in front of him, its a block nothing more.
We're not done in this game yet either.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Can still win this, I reckon there's at least 2 or 3 goals in this for us.

Yeah, but how many for them ??

 

[madloaf]

Just my opinion

I get it, I just think theyve been clinical and the gameplan for them is working completely. They've had the ball in the back of the net 3 times and probably should have scored at least 1 more. 75% possession does not mean the other team are bad.

 

[Nascent Blues]

Can still win this, I reckon there's at least 2 or 3 goals in this for us.

That's the problem right there: we'll only convert one of the quality two to three chances we'll create.

 

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

Ill take a draw any day here.
