Newcastle United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[eversince 76]

Not many teams take points from Newcastle at their ground. And considering the past week with the news the best/most important player out for the season, I’d say it’s a decent performance and fair result altogether.

Arsenal and Liverpool won. But their performances was far from convincing imo. So no worries so far.

Just watching the game back (was not able to watch it live).
Well. One consolation — Gundo cannot possibly play as badly as that again. Can he?? That may just possibly be the worst he's played in a City shirt. He can only go up from here… I don't even think he looked that knackered. But his passing and vision were totally off. Unrecognisable.
Josko impresses me more and more.
Newcastle were pretty thuggish at times, weren't they? Seems it's open season on City, especially Erling.

Not October yet, so not too worried, the usual suspects think they have won it already

Can't believe how many bookable tackles Joelinton got away with before being booked late in the game. There is always at least one.

If you look ahead, City have a series of eminently winnable games right through the coming month. Matches that I would frankly expect them to win. Also, at the end of the month, Arse play Liverpool. So someone's going to lose out there.
We need a fully fit Kev back for the creativity, and a fully confident Phil, trying things the way he was last season (very puzzled about that, generally). Otherwise, Pep will work on this, because that's what he does. I trust in Pep, because a man who's won six titles out of the last seven must have something about him.
There's plenty of time to beat the Spanish armada, said Drake as he finished his game of bowls.

Worse than goofy, Casemiro and Mount?

No, that's dogshit on rye...

 

[grim up north]

Frankly it was a disappointing tame performance aside from Josko.

To many -6 performances and very late substitutions.

Phil,Doku & Savinio all should’ve been on at ht or or55 minutes latest.

Gundo was poor,Jack too predictable and Erling did zilch.

A false 9 against their giants could’ve produced better chances.

An opportunity lost.b y

Yeah we always have n easy game up there they usually roll over for us

I agree. Gundo’s physical co dondition appeared fine but strangely his quality on the ball was way off. Form is temporary and class is permanent as they say so I think we will see much better from Gundo over the rest of the season.

Think Gundog needs to come off the bench into games now he’s back, would prefer Phil and Berny in midfield with Savinho on the right.
Thought Lewis was poor as well.
Early doors, so always hopeful we’ll sort it.

One astounding first-time and apparently no-look (although he must have looked before) pass to set Bernardo, I think, away down the right. The lad didn't do badly but I honestly think it's a bit of ajoke to put him up against someone like Burn. Burn doesn't have a tenth of his talent but he can just use his muscle. Not sure that defensive midfield is his position. Maybe more attacking midfield. I love the guy, but in a way it's almost a problem that he can do almost any position.
Agree about Gundo. Better off coming off the bench, probably. In any case, I'm sure he'll ease back into the team to great effect. You don't lose the class that Gundo has because of one season in Spain.
