Match Thread | Newcastle vs Man City Carabao Cup (27/09/23)

Phillips and Kovacic haven't been anywhere near a second ball with this nonsensical short kick out routine and everyone is taking a day on the ball

Because they're not fit. Pep has been talking about it all week.

Newcastle resorting to their usual fouling. "Never seen a bigger improvement in a team ever!" Really???

 

[Blu1]

They have lifted their energy & we have totally dropped off. Zero motivation at the start of this half.

Pep don’t you dare make any subs lol

 

[Mattyc55]

Don’t bring haaland on pep

 

[I'm Blue]

Calm down Blues the second half was always gonna start like this after their piss poor showing in the first half.

 

[heslops barnet]

Don’t like losing but can accept it……just fukin hate the commentators creaming themselves when it happens

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Watch Phillips on the replay.

He’s a bystander, hasn’t got a ducking clue what’s going on.

and everybody else was great at the goal?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Even our subs wouldn’t change momentum now. Game over

Yep, game feels kind of done. If this happened in the first half, Pep could have turned it around at half time but now it’s just on the players on the pitch to find something. I don’t see how they will with this shift in hunger and momentum.

 

[Jam Tomorrow]

Lewis can’t defend

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Lol, what's all this moaning about. Our team is a patchwork assortment of B-teamers (Ortega), kids (Gomez, Lewis, Bobb) and players trying to get fit again (Kovacic, Grealish, Phillips). Only really Ake and Akanji who get into our strongest XI.

Wanting to win a game isn't crazy, we would all be disappointed if we went out so woefully
