Man City 2 - 1 Newcastle United - 03/10/10 - post match reaction from page 33

[Taylor Swift]

I don't know what the hell Ronaldo is smoking, our tactics couldn't have been more spot on. We pressured high, defended well, controlled possession, nullified their midfield and should have won this match if the ref wasn't a corrupt cunt.

[TaylorJ_01]

De Jongs wiki;

 

"De Jong is married to Winonah, with whom he has two children: a daughter named Isaura-Siënna and a son named Kyan. His father is former Dutch international Jerry de Jong who abandoned him in his youth to live with his mother in council housing.[10]

 

He owns a specialist car dealership located in Europe and the Middle East"

 

Any of that true?

[J7]

Good performance but disappointing result. Play like we did today and against Everton and we will be fine. The problem is cutting out performances like the Stoke one.

[SGSC]

Another unproductive 90 minutes from Nolan.

 

This basically just sums up how invisible he is. Gets subbed off with about 15 minutes to go and it isnt noticed, its just assumed he still on the pitch hiding.

 

Waste of space.

[Skeletor]

Ryan Taylor has to come in against Wigan. He may be a very limited player but he has end product something Routledge seems to have none of anymore.

[The Prophet]

We were well worth a point there, robbed by the fucking ref.

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

I'd consider Ryan Taylor for Routledge at the minute like, we'd lose pace but get a decent ball in the box

you do realise that if everyone on here thought the tactics were crap he'd be defending them dont you ?

Own Goal.

[Disco]

Howay then Hughton, stand up for the lads.

 

Btw for a Mackem, Adam Johnson didn't hardly celebrate his goal and compare that to his celebration against the mackems last season. Newcastle fan IYAM.

 

Sherlock me like.

 

He said he supported Newcastle during the 2 years he was with us. His fav player was David Ginola. This info was in the Chron.

 

WTF?

 

From the age of 10 till 12. Then the NE best youth scout Peter Kirkley (Wallsend Boys Club President) took him to Boro.

FFS! Didn't know that like. Another youngster to add to the list of youngsters from the NE we've let slip.

This. With a fair/capable ref we could have easily won that 2-1.

This.

 

Only player who didn't perform was Nolan imho.

[Nordstrom]

Someone has uploaded the clip of the tackle on youtube.

[Guest Wally_McFool]

That ref wants fuckin investigating.

 

Is correct!

 

The words corrupt and cheat spring to mind.

[Fenham Mag]

Krul - 7

 

Perch - 6

Williamson- 5

Coloccini - 7

Enrique-6

 

Barton- 6

Gutierrez-8

Tiote-7

Nolan- 4

HBA - Poor lad. Gutted.

 

Shola- 5

 

Subs:

 

Carroll - 5

Campbell- 7

Routledge- 5

 

 

[LucaAltieri]

Krul - 8

Looked really assured today. One moment in particular was a Man City break, they were two on one, the ball was squared and Krul stretched to turn it away from Tevez's path. But there were number of key touches he got today. Almost kept out the penalty too. Turning into a class little goal keeper.

 

Perch - 7

Got caught out a couple of times but overall a soid performance.

 

Coloccini - 7 (Campbell 7.5)

Colo looked good today up until the injury. Once again, playing his way out of touble on a few occasions. Good passer of the ball, too. Campbell is a beast. Glad we have him to fall back on.

 

Williamson - 6.5

Should have closed his legs for Johnson's goal. Otherwise generally had a reasonable game. That was never a penalty. Can't be blamed at all.

 

Enrique - 8

Easily one of the best left backs in the league.

 

Guti - 8

Well taken goal. Caused City all sorts of problems with his skill. Final ball still terrible but he looked dangerous and gave them plenty to think about.

 

Barton - 4

Terrible passing today. Won the ball a couple of times... lost it more. Such a shame because he's played well recently.

 

Tiote - 8

Won the ball well. Retained the ball well. Passed the ball well. Drove the play forward. Best signing of the summer. No doubt.

 

Routledge - 5

Routledge is Routledge. Lacks skill, touch, and end product but is quick, lively, and hard working. Some times that will be enough and pay off, other times it won't. Today it didn't.

 

Nolan - 6

Put pressure on the City defenders and midfield with his closing down. Offered nothing else today. Not good enough.

 

Ameobi - 6 (Carroll - 5)

Had a difficult task today playing up front on his own. Rarely saw the ball. Closed down well. Carroll didn't really have time to get into it.

[Guest ObiChrisKenobi]

Aye, but don't hold it against Johnson made the right move to develop his career.

[Montey]

Even the ManCity website agrees that both penalty decisions were wrong.

fortunatly for the game i think "crap" is the correct term.

 

rather be robbed by a crap ref than a corrupt one.

[TooonDoom]

Not even a foul given for a tackle that broke a leg.

Penalty that wasn't

Penalty that was but wasn't

Tevez belts the ball away and does not bet booked.  (would have seen red with the foul on the keeper)

What looked to me like a punch to Tiote in the first half after he was dragged to the ground about a yard from the linesman.

 

Pretty sick feeling.  It is going to be a very tough season the way things are going.

 

 

[BONTEMPI]

I'd be tempted at home to start Shola and Carroll together, think they will worry quite a few.

 

 

                  Krul

 

Raylor    Sol  Williamson    Enrique

 

 

                  Tiote

 

Routledge                    Jonas

 

                  Barton

 

        Ameobi     

                          Carroll

 

 

We need a good striker in Jan mind

[ToonMonty]

Just had an e-mail from a Man City supporting mate who was at the game fully admitting that we were robbed, he was amased at their pen been given and even more suprised that our's wasn't he didn't mention De Jong and I haven't seen the tackle so how bad was it?

[Guest palnese]

Barton 4, and Routledge 5?

 

 

[Guest ObiChrisKenobi]

Hughton on ESPN:

 

'Upset' with the challenge and 'incredible' decisions against us.

 

So much for unloading with a Wenger-esque rage.

 

They show him footage of the fouls, and then calls the decisions 'horrendous' Goes on to mention other decisions against us from previous games.

[mattynufc]

I thought Perch's performance today was massively improved, even if it was just when going forwards.  Ameobi did little wrong.  Overall a good performance from all, except the ref.  I hate blaming refs, but there isn't anyone else that can really be blamed for us not getting a point.
