Newcastle United (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

The combination of Walker and Kovacic on that right hand side is the definition of anti-creativity.

Probably still win the league but ucl we've got no chance.

I can only assume that you think Doku has been a shite signing then. No one can possibly think he’s been a good signing for us. He’s had one great game for us since he’s been here and offers absolutely nothing.

Doku has had his fair share of good games. And Pep must think the same as he gives him a plenty of minutes.

The second half against Chelsea was very good from him right?

… the big talking point was the penalty, Shearer and Given both said it wasn't a pen - so refreshing to hear the game being analysed and commentated upon impartially

Exactly! It wasn’t a penalty ESPECIALLY considering any contact that did occur was initiated by Gordon! More goals from the “Dark Arts!”

Gordon should have been the one to get the yellow, not Ederson.

To think we have VAR and they didn’t overturn that is a joke. Gillette got fleeced! Needed to be sharper than he was.
 
I wish we didn't freeze and would have scored when the Newcastle player went down in their box like he had been shot after Grealish moved his arm back slightly. He really got away with that as it would have outright cost Newcastle the goal in the most stupid circumstances.

Some positives from performances:

- Grealish was looking something like it today. Hopefully he carries on this way.
- Akanji was solid
- Gvardiol has been threatening for a couple of games and now he seems to have rediscovered his bizarre goalscoring ability.
- Rico played well though he seemed a little bit less involved playing further up the pitch.
- Haaland is looking very hungry and driven
- Savinho's cameo was strong and he is growing into the way we play at quite a fast pace.
- Kovacic was pretty solid and reliable

Add to that list, Foden coming on and making a difference.
Phil will once again be a major part of any success this season.
He is a superb footballer who can supply goals from midfield, perhaps the only one (apart from KDB) ?
 
City had some pretty tough games since start of season and are sitting very nicely, nice run now to really rack up the points. Can't understand negativity towards the team especially after Rodris injury, they have been very good. Gundo though has been poor, shows what a year out of Pep and his coaching staff does, he just basically got in the way today.
