Newcastle (H) - Sun 8th May, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Huge game now. Up to Pep to lift the players for this. Lets do it and get back on track.

Our team isn't like that. Plus our players aren't clinical enough to punish teams.

Really need Grealish and Sterling to step up - what's the chances of that at this stage of the season?

Well Grealish was excellent when he came on, retained possession, made good attacking runs and was very unlucky with two excellent efforts.

Raz, after a really decent game at Leeds, looked like he had his boots on the wrong feet. We probably do need to use him at the weekend, hopefully he’s in the mood to take a game and get a goal.

A clear-sighted post. Grealish created a chance on his own, out of nothing, and from a very difficult angle, a very narrow one, he bloody nearly scored. Courtois got his fingertips on it, that's what top keepers do. By comparison, Raheem really did nothing, and excuse me, but apart from his goal (which Courtois is frankly really at fault on) Riyad Mahrez did virtually nothing, and absolutely nothing in the first half.
I don't get why people are getting on Grealish's case so heavily. Give the guy a season, and full ninety-minute games (a great rarity, so far) — then judge.

Er… Leeds 0 City 4 anyone?

The exception to the rule?

Plus they aren't exactly the best team are they.

Not his fault for the money but for £100m I expected not to have to wait a season until he did anything note worthy.

Let's hope he can on Sunday.

Well if a team ever needed it's supporters, it's Sunday's game. No good moping around, 4 wins required and if we can help them do it we have to get behind them.

Come sunday, the fans will be well up for this. We're all a bit low and hurting after yesterday, but the focus will change come the weekend, i'm sure of it.

Are Newcastle? Really?

Oh and by the way, today's PL table tells me that we've scored 84 goals, two behind the free-scoring dippers. Next along is Chelsea, with 68.

Its purely the price.

Herein lies the nub of it.
