Match Thread | Newcastle vs Man City (21/08/22)

We have enough creativity in the team plus a class striker, we need full backs who can actually defend

 

[Erling9]

Well that was a pile of shit.

Gundo and KDB are amazing midfielders when we have 70% possession and dominate. Once the opposition gets decent possession though, they effectively leave Rodri on his own as a one-man midfield. Get Bernie in the middle of the park and let’s try and get some control of the game.

The defence is all over the show. Stones should never have started and has been absolutely woeful.

Walker is the man you would want against ASM but has been turd. Also, him going into midfield against any side that does something other than put XI behind the ball isn’t going to work. He isn’t good enough on the ball. If Pep wants to persist with it today, get Gomez in the left and Cancelo on the right.

Was worried as soon as i saw stones was playing...will never understand why pep always messes with a settled team, he never learns does he

Best partnership at the back they say, Stones & Dias...not on that showing
Dreadful last 30 minutes since we scored early doors.
Getting utterly shafted down our right flank and Pep is still persevering with the tactic
Mr HDCutz needs a spell on the sidelines until he learns to look up and pass to Haaland, should have been 2 up
We will do well to get a point out of this
Ederson with his usual brain fart near the end, nowhere near getting that ball

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

We've shit the bed a bit here and Newcastle have taken advantage. The ref allowed them to bully us early doors and bottled a red card. Plus their keeper is having a Worldie.

I think we've got enough to turn this round, and Pep will have a plan.

 

[oldius]

We created our own problems in that half by giving away possession and allowing their attackers to run at a more exposed defence. Nothing we cannot come back from.

 

[I'm Blue]

Joelinton getting away with his customary 4/5 fouls as per usual

He’ll keep doing it right up to the 80th minute when he’ll get a token booking

 

[mosssideblue]

Leaving to much space on the wings, inviting pressure when we concede possession.

Walker doesn't have the skill to be playing further forward

 

[Asa's left peg]

Kyle shouldn't be receiving those passes in tight situations. Kev and Bernie hardly involved. Another horrendous missed pass from Phil too.
Pep being bloody minded again.

A red for who?

Full credit to newcastle. Their game plan is spot on and they are deservedly leading.
