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

[I'm Blue]

Well that first half was pants.
COME ON CITY!!!

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Anyone confident we'll go on to win this?

Yes

 

[ChicagoBlue]

You having a laugh?

His delivery has been a joke. And they’ve all been easy enough balls to put in, no pressure yet hits first man every fucking time.

His game is putting the ball in on the deck behind the defenders. With their collapsed defence, it is hard to find that space in behind, but he has tried to squeeze a few in and they’ve not made it.

We are moving them around, but, as always, we seem to need the perfect training ground opening before we have a crack, even though it could go anywhere with 15 players in and around their box!

You’ll never with the lottery if you never buy a ticket! Only thing we are missing is some far post shots for the deflection or fumbled save, etc... We don’t get many of those goals, whereas others get plenty. Wonder why?!

 

[Craig]

Can’t attack down right as unfortunately that’s where Mahrez stands doing fuck all.

Agree but Bernado will come on and do much of the same but with a bit more enthusiasm

Anyone confident we'll go on to win this?

Yes 100%.

Come On City!!!

Forgetting his injuries, he never was a pep style player. Mendy in form is a flying left back with a mean cross. He has zero technical ability to play in a pep system. It was a poor signing.

So now weve reached the point where random people on the internet know what a Pep player is, but Pep Guardiola, who was responsible for the transfer, doesnt.

This happens almost every game we play these days. Newcastle are the home team but they defending with two lines of four in their own area. Their only tactic is stifle our attack and hope to hit us on the break.

It’s impossible to play football when one of the teams refuses to engage.

I think we are actually playing well in the circumstances. We are just failing to make the final pass count. Pep has set us up to try to encourage Newcastle to be more ambitious but they aren’t taking the bait.

I am sure we will find a way through the packed defence again in the second half. We usually do.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Not a scapegoat at all, he’s just not a good footballer. You can see the players are starting to avoid passing to him.

What a load of crap

 

[sir baconface]

Yes, I know Silva can still pass but there is no speed to his play any more.

Merlin looks like a fcukin whippet compared to some. And one of very few who can pick out a pass at the moment.

 

[rnblade]

Watching a quick recap, we are too predictable and not quick enough moving the ball forward and driving at the goal.
There are too many people who get upset by fans critiquing players.
We are allowed to, it’s our right!!! Everybody has different opinions and views of how they e seen the game so far. Let them vent their anger.
None of our players have stood out as acceptable so far today.

Come on CITY, stop talking the talk, show us the walk!!!!
