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

[Keeper!]

Walker and Rodri playing centre mid together and getting bummed

dry bummed

 

[willipp]

nothing to do with Ake...

It was there right from the start.

We always struggle against super intensive teams in midfield.....Rodri and Gundo being overrun from the very beginning

True. Bernardo into midfield, Mahrez on the right and make sure our full backs (walker mainly) start to stop their wide players.

I don’t think Pep will change it tbh, he can be a stubborn prick when he wants to be..

 

[pudge]

So? If we lose, we lose. It's early season FFS

You said they'd tire, that's about this match. I don't agree.

... Ffs

 

[Brewster's millions]

Perfect start and then absolutely fucking diabolical from ten minutes on.

Can’t win a challenge, hoofing the ball anywhere and Rodri looks like he’s wearing lead boots. Defence all over the place since Ake went off and Dias just showing us all why he was dropped.

Also, playing that long ball over to Silva, trying to get it over the head off a 7 foot full back, who just heads it straight to Saint Maximin, who then has a free run at goal. Think we did that four times before they realised it was a bad idea.

The annoying thing being that Newcastle are shit, and we tear them apart when we play a bit of football.

Can still win this but a lot of players need to wake the fuck up.

Spot on, once again Phil greedy

 

[heslops barnet]

Be really shocked if pep doesn’t tweak tactics & a couple of subs

68th minute then?

 

[Kippax77]

Foden will be getting it from Pep now.
2 weeks on the bounce he could of squard the ball for Haaland.
2-0 would of give us some breathing space

 

[Northblue]

FFS sake, lets not act like the rags eh.

Assumed it was sarcasm?

 

[Blu1]

True. Bernardo into midfield, Mahrez on the left and make sure our full backs (walker mainly) start to stop their wide players.

Mahrez will be bullied today
