Guest Roger Kint Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Wonder why Tevez wasnt booked for leaving the pitch too. Seemed Atkinson just wasnt going to get anything right yesterday.... He only went to the bench like (players do it all the time), just happens the benches are nowhere near the pitch at Eastlands. Let people celebrate their goals man. I didnt make the rules you know. Simply stating the ref was wrong not to do so under the rules: 1. Deliberately leaving the field of play without the referee's permission And probably covered in 2. Extravagant celebration, such as covering one's head with one's jersey or removing it over the head Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 A couple thoughts from the match now that I actually have access to the forum. Obviously the Shola pen shout was a stone-wall penalty and it would've really swung the match in our favor for the remaining time. I think we would've gone on to win the match as it was already swinging in that direction. We deserved AT LEAST a point, if not more. I though the 4-4-2 that played the last part of the match looked good, Shola actually ran on to some of Carroll's flick ons and really highlights why we need two strikers up there or at least a more mobile player in "Nolan's position" behind Carroll. Fucking gutted about Ben Arfa and Coloccini obviously, although I thought Sol did relatively well coming on in that match. He looks a bit lumbering when running after the opposition but he still will generally get in good positions that make him hard to beat. I watched this match with an Arsenal supporting friend of mine who didn't watch us at all last season and his comment on this match was "it's weird to watch Newcastle not just play long-ball" and I think that speaks volumes to where we are right now as a club. Even though we only have 7 points we still have played well, even in the matches we didn't get any points from, and that's why I'm not putting down as relegation fodder at this point. We have enough quality and belief in our system to be mid-table when it's all said and done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Tevez was getting massively frustrated in the first half, starting in the first few minutes, got pissed off when nobody was backing him up after he charged down Krul. Culminated in him kicking the ball away at a throw-in then fouling Krul. Something was definitely up with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceMag Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 http://www.zonalmarking.net/2010/10/05/manchester-city-2-1-newcastle/ Interesting read. The most obvious tactical element was Newcastle’s crazily high defensive line, combined with little pressure on the Manchester City man with the ball. This meant City had a fairly simple approach of hitting balls over the defence for the forward three players to run onto. Both James Milner and Gareth Barry got free on the left hand side in this fashion, and it was amazing that Chris Hughton didn’t tell his defence to drop deeper early on. Shola Ameobi’s hold-up play was disappointing, although he probably should have had a penalty when he was tripped by Lescott in the corner of the box.

Disco Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Chelsea gained class? Man City have all the cunts of the game? Are you lot forgetting Messrs Cole, Terry and Drogba are still all at Stamford Bridge? 3 of the most classless individuals you will ever likely see on the football field.

Yeah, but the best thing is they've probably outspent chelski and are arguably no closer to being a title winning team than when Sinatra and Sven were about. Horrible, horrible spending they've done man. Truly horrific. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One suspects that Newcastle’s approach of playing a high defensive line was the exact opposite to the optimum strategy against City – they rely on Tevez dropping deep and other players exploiting space in behind, so denying them that space seems to make more sense. Certainly, when Newcastle dropped deeper, City were less of a threat. What utter shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardsleymagic Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 You would have thought, instead of wasting millions on the likes of Santa Cruz (18m) and Adebayor (25m ish) who can't get in the team. They would have splashed as much money as it would take to get a real world-class manager in. Instead they've got, in my opinion, an average manager, playing boring negative football.

ponsaelius Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I've always quite liked Cashley tbh. Massive prick of course and yeah he cheated on the Geordie Diana, but he's an absolutely brilliant player. Best left back in the World by quite some distance.

Instead they've got, in my opinion, a average manager, playing boring negative football. I'm not suprised Tevez went spastic at Mancini like. Play 3 workhorse midfielders (arguably 4 as Milner isn't the most creative) at home to a newly promoted team when you're aiming for the top 4 is criminal. It's bad enough when we do it at home. I've always quite liked Cashley tbh. Massive prick of course and yeah he cheated on the Geordie Diana, but he's an absolutely brilliant player. Best left back in the World by quite some distance. Couldn't really give a shit about what he does off the field, although he doesn't help his cause, but he is probably the snidest cunt going (alongside Gerrard on it). That whole thing with Riley a couple of years back sums him up. Brilliant player though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
