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

[SWPISHOME]

Inverted full backs not working today . Acres of space

Yep. That's the reason we are behind today, It's criminal leaving our centre backs 1 v 1 with Saint Maximin.

We have a colossal goal machine up front who scores goals for fun. We should be playing to his strengths. Give him the ball ffs.

 

[Brunswick Blue]

It's been a day of very strange results and it doesn't seem to getting any better.

 

[wolviedinho]

Come on City.

Champions spirit needed here.

Cut out the mistakes and we can win this game.

 

[Keeper!]

I blame the pitch, far too dry ;)

 

[ID70]

Not even tried switching Bernardo and Foden to try to get some control in the game

 

[knuckles]

I thought we played some good stuff, midfield is being bypassed every attack they have and we do look a bit shaky at the back, they are working a lot harder than us too, but we have more than enough to take control and get some balls into Erling

Random moment but thought it was odd when Walker avoided passing to Bernardo out wide towards the end of the half. Bernardo was completely free but he cut back and found De Bruyne who had barely any space and who then just passed it to Bernardo.

The worry is we are the ones looking leggy

Looks like a lot of the players have had to many leggy overs.

Another pep mindmelt tactically?

Need to get Walker playing ASM out of the game and midfield to cut off the Newcastle long balls but that will mean change of starting tactics.

Pep not good at admitting mistakes tactically
