Fucking animals that lot. Keep our cool and we win this. Prick Burn should be off.

It's like teams are allowed to kick fuck out of our players in every game.
It's like the refs think city are better so let's level it up a bit.
Yet we've still won 4 in a row.
Shows how brilliant the players and pep are

Fairly entertaining game with both teams being equally good and equally poor at varying stages of the half.

Only Gündoğan in the midfield is getting consistently involved in the game. Yeah things haven’t come off for him and he looks about 40 when running back, but he’s done more than Lewis and Kovačić combined. Those two need to get involved in the game. Deep midfield is where Yaya and Rodri have 120+ touches of the ball in games and dictate(d) play. I’d be surprised if Lewis and Kovačić had twenty passes combined that half.

I’d rather take one of those two off because at some point Gündoğan’s constant involvement is going to end in a goal or assist.

Bernardo quiet n’all but he’s not playing centrally.

Grealish, Gvardiol and the back four and keeper have all been good.

Newcastle also been randomly good and bad n’all.

Kovacic has been constantly neutralising their attacks, got the ball back countless times. Carrying on where he left off. Excellent this season.

Gundo has been pretty poor today, not sure why Foden isn't playing

Million $ question with Phil’s continuing absence from starting line up

A(nother) reason to love Jack

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

We've been OK. Wasteful though, should have scored 3 with the chances we've had.
Haalands getting his ankles wrapped in every hold up challenge, that's not accidental, it's targeting. They've kicked fuck out of us all over the pitch, that square headed dump truck should be in the book as well.

Screen grabbed this before BBC delete it.

 

[Keeper!]

Superb retention and execution of the ball

and superb personality, he's up for the fight, he could be our leader after losing Rodri

 

[levets]

Hop Erling is ok to continue. That accidental stamp on his Achilles area could have caused a very serious injury. He seemed a bit stiff for a few minutes, but then got back into it.

 

[Millennium]

Why is Bernardo on the wing? The player has not offered anything in this position for some time

 

[TinFoilHat]

Keown having a dig ."you can't touch city players"

Bit rich coming from that Neanderthal
