Newcastle United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

Our most complete performance of the season, that kinda rolled back the years to peak Guardiola.

Excellent all over the pitch, playing with pace and desire, thus keeping Gordon & Isak quiet which is no easy task.

Omar will take the plaudits for a superb hat-trick obviously, but Nico at CDM provided what we’ve been lacking all season.

Dare Pep play him on Wednesday in the 2nd leg?

He was injured (of course)
 
I've watched a few matches reviews from different outlets today and most of them have been more along the lines of how Newcastle didn't turn up rather than how good we were???

I thought we were magnificent and made Newcastle look hapless. Every single player played their part and I don't want to single out players but Nico was a rock, so was stonsey. They allowed gundo and the rest of the midfield to thrive and we played with real energy and pace and movement....my god the movement was non stop, angles and runs galore. I think just having nico just sitting there and doing the simple things made the world of difference. I don't care what the experts say, we made them look average. Isak and gordon hardly had a sniff and they've arguably been the two most in form strikers in thr last month or two.

Wissper it quietly but Next season could be very very exciting to watch! I'm erect already

Up the sexy blue bastards! :-)
 
There was a moment in the first half i think where Nico was challenging for a high ball and Khusanov came rushing out to head it too. Nico turned round and bollocked him for it telling him to stay back and get the second ball, this is EXACTLY what most of us have been going on about for months. It's not just about having a 6, you need someone who can talk and push people around when needed. It was an amazing performance from him given that he's only just come in. Makes it even more annoying we didn't just fucking go in on 1st Jan and pay his release clause!

Good performance from us. Really expected a lot more from Newcastle, not complaining though.

They continued their woeful form at our place. Despite one defensive brain fart which nearly let them back in we were excellent yesterday. The team looked unrecognisable from those that have regularly turned up in recent months. Is it to much to hope we can give Madrid and the dippers a run for their money after this?

We were absolutely humiliated today. You fans deserve playing someone competitive. I thought we'd lose, but it would be a good game and competitive. I'm not taking anything from you guys, despite what some people think I personally think your the benchmark in which to be judged, but dear me the Club I love sometimes humiliated and embarrass you and today for me,this was the case. I just wan us to bed competitive, it'll make the PL competitive. Well played you were fantastic today but you were let down by us, we didn't even give you a game. We are so s**t sometimes, I'm fuming.

I am still buzzing. The potential in this squad is enormous. We are deffo on the right lines. The new recruits look excellent. We need a full back and maybe a creative midfielder (KDB and Gundog will move on) but with Rodri and Oscar on the way back and Reis still to be tested, this is very exciting. I hope our raised tempo and judicious use of the long ball alternative does not dribble away. Pep said something the other day which hinted that he thinks our old tactics have served their purpose, so I am hopeful. Onwards blues!

Eshcaveri ? says Hi !!
 
Yesterday's performance was a great example of why top players are just that and the rest of us watch from the sidelines voicing polemical views. The top players recover quickly from adversity.
The pre match thread or "Dread" included children crying because rico Lewis was playing(who wears the nappies in that house) . Certain defeat and an overun midfield because Gundogan was included. Abuse aimed at the manager because he did not concur with their selections.
Pep is rebuilding, while knowing he still needs to keep us a CL team, so many injuries( one poster even criticised players for suffering from injury yesterday).
We will be quicker, better and more successful with the rebuild, some need to get a grip.
Or maybe I shouldn't read match threads.
 
City must’ve won a match, the bbc comments thread is in meltdown.

Well said mate. That amazing win was on Pep yesterday lol. Some on here are quick to have a go. It’s a season of transition and the goat is building a new team.we will still have our ups and downs this season but the future looks sky blue to me. Be very afraid!!!!

I hope we can,I really do. On a side note I met up with my Geordie mate both before and after the match. He took the result fair and square as always. Quite a few blues engaged with him in the most welcoming fashion in the pub, it was superb.
 
64 pages after THAT! Ric must have the ‘every cloud’ feeling every time Rico,Eddy etc make a mistake or City loose. There’s more brain dead comments when Eddy miss times a pass out for a throw in than we do for a 4-0 win against one of the best and inform teams in the country.

I cringe at some of our so called fans. And it’s not just the match threads. They infest every thread. There’s nothing wrong with constructive and even frustrated views, but some of the spoilt brats on here are pathetic. City were fucking superb yesterday. Every other manager would have walked this season. We’re so lucky
