Newcastle (H) post match thread

[Len Rum]

Think it's fair to say that KDB is the worst of the midfield 3 as he has been for weeks.

I don't know how with such freedom he is allowed in this new formation he seems to have regressed so much.

Every single time he tries to turn with the ball he loses it, same story as it has been for weeks if not months.

Other than a handful of through balls or crosses he is a detriment to the team at the moment.

'ckin Ada.

Bloody great win. A bit gnarly they were, weren’t they?

They were.

The best bit was, we bit back at times.

Sergio looking sharper bit by bit.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

The kind of game you want and need when playing 4 times in about a week. Cancelo and Gundogan standouts.

Just want to thank whoever it was that kept Manchester in tier 3 and didn’t make 2,000 City fans get piss wet through.

Needed the win, got the win. Don't think we're really in the title race but as long as we find a way to pick up three points, that's all that matters.

How are we not in the title race?

Implications for who starts in 2 days time? I’m sure Ferran can manage another game for one

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Uh huh

Notorious for relegation fodder playing his teams off the park...

It was lackluster but three points we should always have won. The epitome of what I said.

You didn't say that at all, you said many a Jose team plays like that. Jose teams do not play like that in any way.

Great result,three points,nothing too taxing,and chipping away at the top.

Great performances by Ake and Gundogan,Bernardo also much better, but Cancelo was MOTM.

Still the same old problems thogh,a lack of movement and a lack of conviction in front of goal,we should have put half a dozen away tonight.Lovely to see Aguero back who will definitely help with all of that.

Foden in the 91st???? really Pep?

Not happy with the officiating,we should have had a penalty when Sterling was touched on the foot(yes it would have been soft as fuck but we all know the rags and dippers would have been awarded it had it happened to them) and the Pikey should have seen red for the elbow,hes just a fucking disgrace.

Anyway........Bring on Everton!

it really pisses me off that the likes of Carrol dish out elbows no booking but Cancelo one foul & booked. We must get more soft bookings than any other team.
Cancelo is the future. Gundy great again. Kun now available which is v important

 

[CatMan]

Horrible conditions and fair result, but the main problem persists: we don’t have a player who is genuinely comfortable playing between the lines. Gundogan, de Bruyne, and Bernardo all want to drop deep and have the park ahead of them. Until we sign someone who can link midfield and attack, we’ll continue to stutter.

Nailed it.

Newcastle barely even mustered a chance. We're doing extremely well at the back.
