Hope the worst things possible happen to Hinchcliffe the weapon

Calm down fella, it's a game of opinions. Your comment is rawk mentality. There's enough hate in the world without wishing "the worst' for people.

At 0-1 we were looking in total control and if Foden squares that ball to Haaland to make it 0-2 (he had an open fucking net!). That changed the game as it gave them a massive boost not going 0-2 down, everything good for Newcastle and bad for us stemmed from that moment.

Simply not good enough from Foden.

Foden is not playing well. Twice he should have passed the ball but didn't even look up and opted to shoot.

If that was Sterling people would be going mental.

His all round play was poor too, not doing enough. When was the last time he had a motm performance?

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in, they fought to the end. The fans in Blue didn’t give in either, they cheered them on. Thank you lads, thank you fans, thank you City. You showed ‘em, you showed ‘em all. You showed character and perseverance. Well done.

Sorry John Boy, lack of game time showed I guess.

 

[TFC]

Well done to Newcastle they deserved there point we could of won at the end but we all should be happy with a point move on and learn from today

Agreed. Apart from the barm thing.

 

[Dazzle84]

He wasn't alone, to be fair.

No, there were a few very bad performances

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

He'll learn.

It's not that hard a lesson is it?
1) Look up.
2) Square it.
3) Goal.
4) Here's your assist money.

Typical early season crazy game, the early goal put a fair few of our players in exhibition mode and we got what we deserved when we found ourselves trailing. Showed the mettle of champions to come back like that.

A point gained.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Sloppy sloppy sloppy

Passing was off all day.

Letting Newcastle run at us was a disaster.

Defence was all over the place. Midfield left Rodri on his own.

Positives:

Showed a lot of character to get back into the game. Haaland on the score sheet again.

Annoying:

That **** Hinch & Pep refusing to sub when players looked knackered.

Overall, early season form. Played a good Newcastle who will get points of alot of the top teams.

Improvements needed.

Don’t think any City player looked knackered and thought we looked well capable of winning it once we’d equalised.

The only worry I had was Walker. He’s nothing like good enough for that midfield role and his legs looked like they’d gone. Even Willock ran away from him in the first half and his header set them away for their second.

They seem to have one game plan - get the ball to Maximan and although Walker could cope with his speed he couldn’t cope with his skill. He was getting frustrated and I was praying he didn’t have one of his brain farts.

I think the barcode’s defence was poor but for most of the game we didn’t trouble them enough.

For much of the game they simply worked harder than us and seemed more up for it.

We need to utilise Haaland much more. Too many players taking long shots from 20 yards out or going for goal themselves.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Newcastle really tried to strangle us without ball possession.. I don't think I've ever seen any other team do that to us besides Liverpool and Chelsea where for 5 minutes we barely get a touch in.

But we showed amazing composure to get back into it at 3-1 down.

Will take the point. Obviously some players are still rusty.

Going by previous seasons we always draw/ lose a game early and then start putting quality runs together. Fingers crossed for the same.
