Newcastle post match thread

[FogBlueInSanFran]

We need David Silva back and we need to play Same and Sterling wide.
Kun Jesus and Walker all had a mare.
The runs continues but we cannot afford to play like this too often.

Actually we can afford it, that's the nice thing about a 15 point lead.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

A nervy last five minutes which is quite ridiculous on the balance of play. Credit though to the players, they didn't panic or lose their composure .....shame the same can’t be said about some of the posters in the match thread!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Scrape victory? 78% possession, 18 shots to 5??

Bit of a scrape at the end! But the teams continue to defend as resolutely as they can but if some player is off target then another one will be on! We continue to outscore, which is all that matters! Three points for one goal. But three points for 18 shots is a good trade and well worth the three points.

Worst performance of the season so far for me. Newcastle’s tactics didn’t help us tbf. If we play like that against Liverpool, they’ll beat us.

Lol they would murder us not just beat us.

A win with all the fixtures is great result 1 nil or 5 nil doesn't matter it's 3 points in the bag now mind the gap rags

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Unbelievable amount of chances missed again but a win is a win.
Kompany needs to pack it in.

 

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

Surprised silva didn’t come on. Should have been over in the first half. We march on

Long way to toon land from Spain

 

[discopop]

Has Kyle been out on the piss all weekend? It’s the only explanation for that performance bless him.

Mixed bag of a game but the run goes on the gap gets bigger

Well done boys

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Performance was poor in that 2nd half. A little too sloppy and arrogant. But a win's a win.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

kevin and aguero had their worst games of the season for me, although both had their moments. if they were on form we could have scored double figures tonight.
Danilo my MOTM
edit: and kyle was very sloppy too. needs a rest

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Should have been all over after 30 minutes.

Made to work second half.

Another big 3 points.

The BBC have spoken:

FULL-TIME

Newcastle 0-1 Man City

All over.

Manchester City scrape victory and go 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

who wrote that the resident BBC dickhead Stone.

I kept away from the match thread. Too tense a game!

We're on a longer run than the norovirus

Got a chuckle from this son of half the medical staff at the WHO pathology research division.

 

[Decepticon]

It's a win. I'll leave Pep to decide if he thinks that was a good enough performance.

His reaction on the field tells us otherwise..we need signings this January.

 

[borassic]

job done, shame about Serge but another day he would have had a hat trick.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Otamendi utterly outstanding

 

[bluemonkey71]

He’s in Spain?

Weird my sky alert showed he was on the bench

 

[cadds92]

Dire performance, probably worst of the season in the league.

I actually think that first half was bordering in too easy and I think because of it our mentality in the second half was just to take the game for granted.

 

[Armaan]

Should've scored more but 1-0 always feels the best. Didn't play that well but who cares... 18 in a row :)
