Man City 4 - 0 Newcastle United - 19/08/13 - post-'match' reaction from page 63

[Guest neesy111]

Anyone still think Tiote can get back to his best?

[Guest neesy111]

That was embarrassing.  4-5 players on that pitch can go fuck themselves tbh.

[Guest H09]

I don't know what people are complaining about.

 

We lost 4-0 at City last season, they've spent £90m, we've spent nothing and they only won 4-0 this time.

 

If anything City should be the ones worried, and I think that showed as their supporters were totally silent all game, they knew it wasn't an improvement at all and they will struggle to compete for the title if they don't seriously improve.

No. He's a complete block-head. Thick as fuck, at all times... He'll occasionally do something encouraging where you think "Tiote is back!" then he'll shoot thirty yards over the bar from a throw in. In our own half.

[Ashley17]

Anyone still think Tiote can get back to his best?

 

Possibly.

 

He didn't get booked so if anything he's better than his best

[Skirge]

Shot on target and no yellows

The scoreline was not unexpected but I did think we would at least try to compete.  I cannot believe any other team would have been pathetic in performance and attitude especially in the first game of the season.

 

Regardless of whether we have a smaller squad than last season, sometimes you need to buy new players just to freshen things up.  We are so predictable.

[Ronaldo]

Anyone still think Tiote can get back to his best?

 

This is his best. Nothing's really changed about him other than his weaknesses are well known.

[Sifu]

Just got back from the game.

 

Even though that was only the first game and it was against a strengthened City, it literally was soul destroying stuff. Second best all night long and what hurts is that we didn't fucking try. There was no fight in any of the players bar Ben Arfa and Sissoko. Everyone else were just strolling around and were static as fuck. Where was the passion? Our attacking was inept and Cisse, just like last season, was very isolated and did nothing of note - he pretty much got bullied by the City defence.

 

The atmosphere around the away end was rather downbeat (and with good reason) and I'm sorry but all the teenagers there were doing my head in and need to fuck off - instead of concentrating on the game, they were more intent having some "banter" with the City fans, one lad kept slapping his head as a gesture to a City fan, fuck off. Another thing is our end singing "where were you when you were shit?" to the City fans, again that annoyed the fuck out of me because anyone with a fucking footballing brain knew that they had great support when they were in the lower leagues. Rant over.

 

Well then, at least we've City over and done with, got two home games to kick start our season so let's get at them!

[thenige]

I know City are good and even with a new manager fully expected to be outclassed, it was just the fact the 'team' still looks so much like a bunch of strangers playing in the same shirts. Considering how long we've had that's really worrying.

 

If Pardew goes I have absolutely no faith that Ashley would bring in the right man. Nothing Pardew's said or done in the last 12 months convinces me he's cut out to be a top-level football coach but I still fear Ashley could make it even worse.

 

Yey to the new football season.

[Belfast Mags]

Anyone still think Tiote can get back to his best?

 

Possibly. NOT

 

FYP

[NUFC]

Krul made some good saves

Yanga-Mbiwa - poor, more interested in kicking lumps/starting fights

Coloccini - didn't organise the defence well enough

S.Taylor - long term replacement for Karl Pilkington for any future idiot abroad series

Debuchy - Struggle to believe he is a French international, can't defend for s**t, not that much better than Simpson was at defending, stupid booking.

Tiote - around like a headless chicken as per usual

Sissoko - the invisible man

Gouffran - forgot he was playing till he got subbed

Ben Arfa - he tried

Gutierrez - hopefully Derek Wright will lock him in the physio room till May.

Cisse - couldn't penetrate a paper bag, first touch was poor, personally think he had a good first 6 months at the club but been rubbish since

Anita - Toure had him for breakfast, could probably fart and blow him off the ball

Sammy Ameobi - managed to dribble a bit, also kept his brother on the bench so

Dummett - not ready for the Premier League yet IMO

Not the brightest then.

[Guest GeordieAce]

We're a poor team, with a poor manager and a poorly run club. The gulf in class was painfully obvious today. You look at man city today, quality players across the the entire squad granted, but the runs off the ball, the closing down, the formation and discipline was fantastic. It doesnt take a team of world beaters to approach the game in that manner. We seemed to have the odd spell of good passing, but once we got to the final 3rd it was more hit and hope into the box rather than trying to actually pick some one out or being patient and picking the right pass.

 

Pardew is the worst manager in the league by some distance. His body language spoke volumes today when he tried to hide behind drinking his bottled water when the camera went on him. He's a coward and will do anything to to back heel the blame. Get rid.

Fucking hell, what do you drive?  Concorde?

 

They were signing that after the first goal from what I could hear on TV. It's a sign I the times I think, 90% of fans from any team are more interested in slagging each other off then yet are signing about the football.

Live in Manchester. It was more the boozed up teenagers who were doing it and they really are as thick as fuck.

Unfortunately so, aye. That's what I've come to see at away games now...

[SteveMc]

Not sure what people were expecting today, but a bumming was always a strong chnace and City will hand out more of them with the players they have. Apart from being out classed we were a very poor defensive and offensive unit today. Throw in a load of poor discipline and it's worse. We should have kept our calm today. Mapou and Debuchy could have seen red.

 

Swansea, palace, villa, hull, and even stoke........ all teams starting their season against one of the big 6 and all giving a better performance than us and actually threatening the opposition goal on occasion.

 

Yup, that's how bad we are.

 

Ahh but we fretened the goal @pards
