Match Thread | Newcastle vs. Man City (28/09/24)

[Tricky_Trev]

Pep picked an 11 that is actually incapable of creating anything. It’s like we are playing for a 0-0 first 60 mins to then attack when subs are made. But can we keep a clean sheet for that long, offering nothing the other way? Seems unlikely.

Newcastle look sharper and quicker

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Eddie Howe looks like a private school PE teacher.

He always has but it’s more and more so with every passing year.

 

[Gabriel]

We are pushing them too far back into their own half. Draw them to the halfway line, get it to Grealish and then knock one over the top to Haaland. With no Foden, there is nobody to run through them in the midfield and it’s all horizontal.

 

[skillman]

Gonna be a long few weeks of passing without purpose until Pep fully trusts/figures out how to sort the Rodri absence.

He’s worried today about the transitions without him hence a team of players comfortable on the ball. A bit too safe

under the cosh from the off - get Sav on

 

[Dialog]

Isak being injured is a blessing for us

 

[stan bowles]

Deathly quiet stadium.

Gundo… not great

Not knee jerking but looks like weve gone stale this season

Typical City season for years - shit periods, good periods, meh periods, great periods.
