We'll get the same "2nd half was shite" shite this evening but that was a massive win against a team that created only 0.5xG. They didn't have any big chances second half, reduced to pumping into the box or long range pot shots.

Khus and Guehi were immense. Haaland too. NOR a shoe in for Young Player of the Season.

Over to you Arsenal. Can see them dripping points tomorrow.

I’ll be dripping if they do.

Anybody else get a pop-up 5 mins before the end of the game, saying the rags have agreed a deal to sign Zidane as their next victim.
Didn’t wanna put in the rag thread on our match day.

 

[Pedestrian]

Are you ever happy with a City win?
Give it a fucking rest man.

What’s wrong with what he posted?

Well played to pep for bringing kush on at half time to cover the quick counter attacks

we still sat bit deeper though kush is great player so calm
but that first five minutes against chelsea wow

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

Idk about you fellas but to me this win feels like a loss because of how we played, ESPECIALLY in the 2nd half. It frustrated me like nothing else this season. We had 1 week of rest and played at home (+should've been massively motivated because of Assna dropping points) while Newcastle had only 3 days and had to travel to f-ing Azerbaijan right before that and played away. Yet we were the ones who played like we haven't had a single day of rest! Midfield constantly overloaded, attack missing sitters left, right and centre while the fullbacks were leaking every time Newcastle was attacking. This was a horrendous display but I feel like barely anyone will talk about it because we somehow won in the end. Our physios definitely need sacking and Pep needs to play Cherki since minute 1, like how on earth are you keeping a player of his caliber on the bench despite him being the only one that brings any sort of creativity (and presence) in the midfield??

All points very reasonable.
I do think our players need to take a lot more responsibility individually and collectively.
The coaching and support for Pep in this regard seems it needs a major overhaul. Just not good enough.

£30-40m

You do know Newcastle paid £65m for Woltemade!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He is the player of the season. By a universe. He’s 19 mate. 19.

Only in Bellingham years.

He’s 21 next month. :-)

That's lovely.

Come on City! Come on City!

 

[Master-Lotus]

No one is going to talk about it being a horrendous display because it wasn't one!

If you think this was a good performance considering the context I've said I'm not sure if you've watch us in the seasons when we were winning the titles.

Probably the best wind up post I've seen on here. A++ for effort

I wish I was on a wind up, our players certainly looked like they were on one in the second half though!

 

[Keith Moon]

Humongous three points! Once our attack has properly gelled, no one will be able to stop this team.

 

[makinghistory]

Great shift from every player. Massive psycological win piling the pressure on Arsenal who are the favourites to win the PL. Only 1 gripe. Can we not finish off teams and relax before 90 minutes is up.

Good one that to be fair, I nearly fell for it

 

[Victorinodennistua]

Fair fucks to Newcastle they played very well and made it a really hard game tonight. Another 3 points on the board is all that matters but I hope we are a bit braver on the ball from now on. Four or Five consecutive backward passes followed by a long ball towards the halfway line and giving up possession time and again surely isn't the plan. A huge win nonetheless.

Looked like it was a plan to get Dan burn sent off

 

[christened at st marks]

Never leave Khus out against counter attacking teams again it nearly cost us.
Bernie is a warrior but too slow in the 2nd half legs are going for 90 mins of prem these days 60 yes

Well…he is a City fan!

 

[Blue Maverick]

This is like the run in when we needed 14 on the bounce, my fucking heart monitor is of the scale. Haaland was brilliant, Bernardo everywhere, OReilly is immense and the ref and geordies can fuck off
