Match Thread | Newcastle vs Man City (30/11/19)

Need to spread their defence out a bit and exploit some more spaces.

Also when you play wider on each side and move their defensive blanket back deeper there’s more chances to shoot from outside the box.

It’s all too congested on the left.

There’s no space when the have 10 camped out in defence

I thinks it’s almost certainly gone if we don’t win today.

Bit disappointing that. In control of the game but just not looking like creating anything. Just floated balls into the box which we aren't going to win or trying to thread balls through but without the accuracy. It's a bit worrying that our creative players aren't creating much and our defenders aren't really very good at defending. Sterling, Mahrez, KDB and Silva all looking well off the boil going forwards.

Need to make some changes. Get Foden and Bernardo on and hope they give us a bit more energy and movement.

Give it a rest

Pretty funny tbf.

We really just need a pacy lw so we can put sterling back on the right. Mahrez has had acres of space but has no idea what to do with it

He's so frustrating. Had hoped the goal against chelsea would have given him the confidence to take the game by the scruff of the neck today but he was largely anonymous.

Need a higher tempo second half. Got to make this possession count.

What ever happened to stones he looks not interested

 

[domalino]

People picking Mendy out are just reverting to their usual scapegoat, hes been fine defensively and yes hes lost the ball a lot going forward but that's because hes being asked to cross into box with 8 defenders in it.

Hes not be particularly good, but hes so far down the list of problems that hes not worth mentioning.

 

[Rammy Blue]

I see highlights every day on Twitter where I see the team from the last few years and how fast and precise we were. We are a shadow of that team at moment, so slow and fucking boring. It’s awful to watch.

 

[manimanc]

Mendy is shocking. Mahrez is a good player but not in City's system. Gundongan is no Dinho in midfield. Stones.

Guardiola bought them and coaches them so must take some responsibility.

Apart from that everything else good yeah?

Who is that bloke at left back, doesn’t look like a footballer to me?
