Foden shite another chance to square it and he didn’t. Like I said we didn’t have a striker we kept crossing now we have a striker and can’t cross. I also don’t understand the no subs part. Just confusing with Alvarez and mahrez on the bench surely they could have helped

Youdont want mahrez when there is real battle in a match...he wilts

If the magpies play like that. Admittedly we weren’t at our best. It’s a good point.

Never seen Pep’s tactics failing so badly ever. Walker is probably the least technically gifted player in the entire squad and Pep play him inverted, allowing potenitally the best counter attacking winger in the league acres of space. All three goals happened through St.Maximin racing down the left side. I’ll take a point, after being 3-1 down, but feel we could easily have won it

Their lad had a whole quarter pitch to himself

On the 'red card' I thought trippier had both feet of the ground when making the lunge. I thought that was always a red.

Perhaps I dont remember the challenge 100% correct

Newcastle played really well but we were awful, still not up to speed.
Worst performance I've seen from Kyle Walker, terrible.
Andy Hincliffe, what a cock!

Kyle hasn't looked right all season imo..

I didn't think that was a red card.
I think the ref got it right.

In isolation it probably was a yellow but I think the ref got pissed off with them as they'd been doing those cynical fouls all match and decided enough was enough.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Three games in and in each one of our players has been the victim of a red card challenge. The first two went completely unpunished and when today’s was given it was rescinded by VAR, which couldn’t intervene in the other two. Time for Guardiola to speak out and say that the referees are endangering the players.

I'm not convinced that was an attempt at a bad foul - woth intent to injure. His foot stays down when it gets close which says to media's always a trip attempt.

But agree about the others.

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Foden needs to look up/stop being greedy. At 2-0, that's a different game.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Do the dropped points come out of our bank or Liverpools?

Neither, these were reserve points, borrowed from Chelsea's bank. Best thing we could've done today was draw as it turns our negative into a positive. ;)

Think teams will do well to get anything up there tbh ..........

they’re the new everton.

raucous atmosphere for united/city/liverpool but crap against brighton probably
