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

A poor 1st half enlivened by some magic from Jack and Gvardiol. Walker been excellent. Gundo has been utterly awful, summed up by needlessly conceding a free kick in stoppage time from which they almost equalised.

Ref's halftime team talk.
Kick em, kick em some more.
Cunts!

Fixed.

Gundogan has been pretty terrible

All things considered, I am actually pretty happy with that half.

Same , early kickoff, loads of players injured , what happened to people understanding sometimes you just grind it out and go home

Tough match. Our defense and Grealish have played superb, everyone else really poor. Gundogan having an awful match, and Bernardo as a winger might be one of the least dangerous players.

Problem: to bring on who? Nunes? Given that Newcastle are smashing into us, and being allowed to, and that Nunes is even more diminutive than Gundo, I doubt it would be wise. McAtee? Same problem, only worse.

The best player in the league last season is sitting on bench..

 

[M Gaudino]

Gonna be one of those games we are gonna have to just dig out to get the 3 points. Best kind of wins tbh.

Walker, Grealish and akanji all superb

Akanji is undroppable. would like us to go back to the four centre backs tbh with akanji right sided and stones in the midfield hyrbid role. captain seems to have gone to walker’s head

 

[jollylescott]

Great save by Ed. Our defence has stood firm under quite a bit of pressure. Hope Haaland is ok with that nasty ankle gash.

That got better as it went on but I think we need Foden and/or Savinho still. Newcastle haven't got much to think about when it's going from side to side. Just having someone like Sav or Phil - something from nothing kinda players - would make a difference there. Otherwise okay. For the vast majority of that we looked pretty ordinary without looking disorganised.

Walker and Grealish both excellent. And what a classy goal we scored as well.

 

[Keeper!]

Just needed rhythm
