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

[Tugay One Cup]

Need to keep the fullbacks wide this half. We can put as many in the middle as we want but Trippier's still going to overlap, Saint-Maximin is going to find space and they're going to outrun us in the centre anyway.

Walker looks like he's lost 3 yards of pace never mind a yard.

Foden needs a bollocking. That is criminal. Carbon copy of the first game. He squares that and Haaland has got a tap in. What's wrong with him?? It's bits of play like this that will come and bite us on the arse later in the season.

Wouldn't be surprised if Pep hooks him again.

Phil seems to be of the mindset "we're bossing the game, if I take a shot that doesn't score then lots more chances will come along...".
Well young man, ever since that miss Newcastle have been the dominant team and you've hardly had a kick since.

City might need to go back into the market for another CB. Ake is a good player but is always injured. He can’t be relied upon. John stones would need to up his game.

Foden last week and today simple pass for a tap in,why not.

Random moment but thought it was odd when Walker avoided passing to Bernardo out side 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.

I saw that.

WTF was that about.

It was obvious it was the best option Bernado was in space.

Strange shit

Come on Pep forget about the inverted fullbacks. They are killing us down the wings when we lose the ball.

Time to start rectifying that awful trend.

Just a pointless statistic. Not as if you're talking about the same players, manager, backroom staff etc.

7 times in 30 years is hardly a crisis.

Need to get Kev into this game

Time to lay off the beers

Train exhaust fumes bud.

Assumed it was sarcasm?

I hope so.
