Missed first half. Assume we’ve not been any good?

Started really well, started to have a wobble, Ake got injured, we capitulated.

Sounds like the opening line from a porn film.

As John Holmes drops his grundies

Get some shape , control the game then give it Thor the Merciless.

 

[argyle]

Remember not everyone is watching on sky.

So dont just say fuck off hinchcliffe, tell us what he's saying.

 

[Akiva]

Hard to reconcile this tbh.

 

[Keeper!]

that's a fucking disgrace for a top player

 

[bugsyblue]

Our problem isn't the left side attacker trust me.

Don’t get it

 

[christened at st marks]

Phil needs hooking, no LW though

 

[super_city_si]

Same line up. :(

 

[Mad_fer_it]

Got to stop being fucking spineless in midfield. Be more aggressive. They look scared. Making them look like Brazil. Come on, put them in their place. Cunts.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

To be fair, I called this as soon as they showed the stat saying we've won 30, drawn 1 and lost 0 after scoring first. My bad.

 

[Chi-town blues]

walker and cancelo needs to work out who stays in the middle depending on their wingers position . so far barcode wingers are winning and out smarting both of our full backs

 

[Damanino]

3-1 or 2-2 imo goal is coming in first 10 min now. not sure for who tho...

 

[SamBlue]

The first half has been as bad as every game we played in the last couple of seasons when we were bummed. Unfortunately we lost confidence with the first few of their counterattacks and then lost control completely. Unfortunately with Haaland we are almost with a man down when in attacking phase, Bernardo is not the creator and he is wasting his best attributes so far along the line. Hope for much better second half, come on City, so difficult to watch it on TV with English commentary.

 

[stan bowles]

Poor but don’t see us not improving massively second half and getting a result.
Walker having one of his 2/3 fucking shockers he has every season and a general look of apathy all over the pitch seems to be our downfall that half.
Newcastle wanting the 50/50s more and taking advantage of a concerning lack of cohesion at the back.
That said we should still have scored 4!!

Walker's not an inverted midfielder - never has been. Not good enough technically. Main assets are pace and reading of the game. Put him back at right back otherwise take him off.

 

[argyle]

No changes?

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Fuk8nhell Rod!

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Can see us losing 3-1

 

[Mad_fer_it]

Phil needs hooking

Twice in 2 games he's not played Haaland in. Needs to wake the fuck up.

 

[Phil1]

Plays it forward keeper picks it up. Tried to cut it back the defender gets a foot to it.
The abuse Foden is getting on this forum recently is a bit fucking sad to see.
