Newcastle United (H) | FA Cup | Post Match Thread

[Karl8]

Kova in midfield is a must for me. Really supports Rodri and keeps things moving along without fuss.
Thought Akanji was immense today. What an absolute bargain especially, given we spunk millions and trillions on loads of players in our massive squad….
Doku did quite well and was a constant threat. Still needs Peps coaching with regards his end product but he’s hard working and I believe will be successful.
Phil, fantastic yet again.
Gvardiol… still a work in progress.
Halaand.. some things good, some not so good… Well need to continue to support him and I know we will.
Coventry next round and then anyone in final, but would love Trafford again just for the opportunity to embarrass them in front of a world wide audience again..
Cmon City !!!

He was crying because he was so happy that Phil gave him his shirt!!

Missed that

Watched it with an old Spurs mate in a bar showing City's game and his lot's loss to Fulham. City controlled things so well that Newcastle weren't able to offer much. But Haaland's getting fouled, grabbed, kicked every week now. He looks knackered & frustrated and as my Spurs mate said "right now he's no Harry Kane."

Anybody see that kid on the BBC right at the end of the game with the' Grealish can I have your shirt ' sign. Showed you him crying and his mum consoling him because fuck all happened. Embarrassed for them I really am

Did you not see me behind him with a 'Pep can I have your Stone Island jumper' sign Fordy? Yes, I'm a little embarrassed now, but I just got into the spirit of things :(

Akanji, kova & rodders every game

Very good today only concern was we didn’t create many clear chances.

Foden & doku destroyed them

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Really good controlled performance without having to find top gear.

Lots of good individual performances, I thought Akanji has stood out as super reliable since he came back into the team and the Kovacic - Rodri combo in midfield is class.

Newcastle not at the races despite a reasonably strong looking side on paper. Took several liberties in challenges the cunts.

 

[Paul1970]

Foden really is one of the very best players in the world. An absolute joy to watch, truly elite.

We don’t need a kdb successor as foden is the man . Said it for years that foden is the best English player since gazza and could even be greatest ever .

 

[jimharri]

If the shirt tucking unlocks the whole season for us will every mid field be doing it next year?

Also, do we think they discussed the tucking because I don’t think Kova has done it with previous teams?

Probably keeps the meat and two veg from rattling around too much.

Controlled the game and City never had to get out of 1st gear
Playing at Wembley again never gets boring but its becoming Manchester City 39th game of the season

 

[super_city_si]

One of our most controlled performers this season. Some of the play through the congested middle was absolutely sublime. Kovacic makes a big difference to that.
