Dont believe any word of that. If there were a longer recording that exhonorates him it would be released by now. Spare her feelings? Dont make me laugh. We are talking about a £50m+ asset here.

Got to be said though, if they didnt have Foden mimicking ASMs performance from last year the game would have looked alot different. Thought most of their threat came through him.

City probably had 5-6 chances were they could have scored with better finishing aswell. Wilson is probably the best backup striker in the Premier League atm(if you count Alvarez as a first team player).

This will be nothing like the City game. Think we will overrun their midfield and exploit their vulnerable defense. They will probably get one or two goals, but we will get more.

I agree, yesterday was not all about the personnel available. But I dont blame Howe to much either. Was sort of like rock facing scissors.

A needed experience for him. Not quite at Peps level yet, but he is getting there.

He is only poor when you compare him to his past self Its not like I think we should bench him.

Think that shot is a clear example off something being off with him. When he first came here one thing i noticed about him was that he never got dispossesed, now it seems to happen multiple times every game. Dont know what it it, maybe the baby is keeping him up at night or something. But I think its clear that he is not on top off his game.

Have to admit i didnt take that into account. Just think he brings limited value to the team if he is not running 90 minutes week in week out. And if we are ever going to sell him now is the time after being part of the first 11 last season.

He did ok today. But our threat down the left becomes so limited against organized defenses with him on LB.

Might it be time to let Longstaff go to someone who can utilize his workrate more? He for sure isnt a supersub.

City are a little anti-Newcastle with their extreme good passing and movement under pressure. This was a free hit, lets bounce back hard against Liverpool next week.

Foden is so damn good.

Dont think its been that bad, city havent had that many chances. Scored on a beautiful strike. We will probably be more offensive in the second half.

The consistency seems to be VAR staying out of everything.

Clear pen btw. Must be hard for refs choosing between Manu and Spurs.

Dont think Man Utd will match us either

You guys also have to take into account that we are going to be up with 3 goals in most games by 60minutes, not that risky subbing a defender then

Rotate is a little bit different than using substitutes. With the amount of games coming up he is going to have to get used to rotations though, even in defense like it or not. Atleast when it comes to Burn who showed signs of exhaustion at the end of last season.

We didnt have a an option on RB to sub Tripps with, sentral defenders never get subbed ofc. Doesnt look to me that he mind subbing Burn when he did it 10 times in the premier league last year. With such a prospect like Hall on the bench i would think he would mind it even less. And Hall can also play in other positions.

Starting 20, coming in as a sub in the rest. Dont think thats true. Burn has been substituted plenty of times.

When the fuck are VAR supposed to step in if not in situations like that. Atleast look at it closer, looked like a clear dive.

Dont think he touched him at all?

Wasnt that a clear dive?
