Newcastle United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[dadnlad]

Easy to get carried away by one performance, and we’ll almost certainly get brought back down to earth by Madrid on Wednesday, but that was by far the most encouraging display of the season.

Felt like the new signings were integral to that, and gave the team a renewed energy and purpose. Hope it wasn’t just a flash in the pan, as today gave a glimpse into the future of this side, and for once this season it was a genuine cause of optimism.

And here comes stefan of the post match thread ;)

The other thing I noticed about Nico was his leadership. In his first real outing for City, he was very vocal in telling players around him where to position themselves & kept geeing up his team mates & the crowd.

We seemed so much more assured with him at No 6 with the old Dog beside him. Aside from a couple of wayward passes, this was an excellent display from Speedy.

First thing needed as a CM, good communication skills and to constantly be bossing players into correct positions. Looked very assured for his first 90 minutes at the club.

Yes, but you know that Pep will revert to the geriatrics of KDB, Bernardo and sideways Grealish. The answer gor any chance at Madrid is slapping him in the face, yet I am certain that he'll ignore it.

Grealish started the game really well midweek.

Who gives a shit ffs. City win in style and some picks bird makes it on here. Jeez

What?
Put the crack pipe down mate..
Hahaha..

Even at 3-0 I wasn't too optimistic. The last time we were three ahead I turned to my neighbour and stated that we were in total control. Fifteen mins later? 3-3! But I thought the fourth goal was a winner.

I think it would be fair to say that @twosips was very enthusiastic about our performance today. Gushing, even.

Did I not say the other day it was time to look forwards and move on from the old guard, thankfully was right, best performance of the season by a mile and all 3 of the new guys were instrumental.

Only had half an eye on a dodgy stream but the most encouraging I thing I saw was the zippiness of the passes and the great first touches. There was a moment in the first half were Nico got the ball snappily into him under a bunch of pressure. If he miss controls the Newcastle player has a run on Ederson. The ball was a little behind him but he took it under control and the danger passed.

Another encouraging moment was when Khusanov got turned by Gordon. Khusanov did well to get back and between him and stones they cleared it quite easily.

Call me a romantic but I want to see The Geordies playing I black and white stripes against us

Apologies if discussed already but let’s get this going:

“Way-oh-way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh,
Scores like an Egyptian…….”

It was a glimpse into the future. When you couple it with the old guard getting outplayed by Real Madrid, it’s been a significant week.

 

[Gray]

Had never considered. I reckon you are right

Toss up between us and the Swamp I suspect.

Not there until Sunday an the dips More please City CMONNNN

 

[Didsbury Dave]

New signings were all mint today.

Khusanov looks like a cross between Stones and Dias, and faster and stronger than both.

Gonzales looked dead calm on the ball, never rushed, passed forward well, looks physical.

Marmoush was actually a bit erratic and the less consistent of the three but scored a bloody hattrick haha.

Top day.

Players who’ve had shockers this season played really well as well: Lewis and Gündoğan.

Only concerns are that both Haaland and Marmoush limped off when subbed off and Savinho limped off after the game.

Haha. Marnouch started awfully. Had about 5 awful touches and then suddenly did a U-turn

Yeah mate, throw Kev, Bernie, Kova back in against Madrid and prioritise Liverpool now. If we get a sniff against Madrid then we can have plenty of ammo on the bench.

 

[Gray]

Cheeky Geordia fuckers with their “Empty Seats” chants,

 

[Eccles Blue]

For anyone who is still thinking we won’t win on Tuesday…. Oh ye of little faith!!! :-) :-)

In Pep, John Boy and the team I trust!!!!

 

[aka blue jambo]

Definitely a few posters on here you would NOT want in the trenches with you

He won’t do it but I’d play the same team as today but Lewis and bring in Dias and put the new kid at right back. Berni in for Gundogan too.
