Man City 6-1 Newcastle - 03/10 - Post match reaction from p. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[cubaricho]

Am I the only person that thinks Tim Krul is absolutely shit?

 

You're not. I think he's been turboshit for quite some time but gets away with it because of the ten schmohawks in front of him.

[Stottie]

I think they'd have had us anyway, but who played Aguero onside for their first goal?

The header back across went forward from outside to well inside the six yard box and Aguero is much closer to the goal than Mitrovic, who's the furthest back of our players in shot, when it was made. It looks a good yard offside.

[Ankles Bennett]

This club is going down.  I don't hold out much hope of January signings saving us tho.  They will take one look at our league position and say thanks but no thanks unless we offer mega money but then if we still go down we are lumbered with players we can't afford to pay.

He was behind the city player that headed it. Doesn't matter where our players were.

[mrmojorisin75]

De Bruyne looks f***ing awesome like. So clever.

 

Looks money well spent..

From the first time I saw him as someone else here said he just picks the right pass and does the right thing with minimum fuss. He also see's off the ball runs and angles for passes amazingly well.

 

Currently the player I'm most impressed with in the league tbh

[Andy84]

Think its our fault as fans with our ridiculously high expectations that caused us to concede a 5 goals in 13 minutes or whatever

[Guest firetotheworks]

That's comfortably the worst offside call I've ever seen like.

 

Nope, still Vertonghen.

That was bad because he didn't know the rules in a rare situation. This happens all the time and he was at least 3 yards on side with a player that was right in front of him. I know they've got a hard job, but both of those events were really basic.

[ujpest doza]

Eh, why was that Mitrovic goal given offside?

 

And he should have had a hat-trick. Not good enough against opposition like this.

Janmaat was given offside receiving the pass from Sissoko. Didn't look offside but the flag went up then.

[Yorkie]

Janmaat was a yard on side but aye, that's the only thing I can think of. He was clearly ahead of both Perez and Mitrovic when he played the ball across.

 

It's a fucking appalling decision. Not excusing the second half capitulation by any means, but ffs. A deserved 2-0 and it's a different game.

[ujpest doza]

Nope.

Has the occasional game as a good shot stopper but isn't top class by a long chalk.

We'd have probably still collapsed.

[Ankles Bennett]

When the ball was played to Jaanmat the only player in an offside position was Perez in the middle.  Not interfering with play but when the ball was crossed Perez flicked it on to Mitro and he made himself active hence the offside decision to disallow the goal.

[Guest thenorthumbrian]

It's an odd set up at Newcastle under Cashley, as others have said his major priority is to use St James' Park as a massive billboard to promote S***** D***** .

The manager, whoever is is, is constrained by Cashleys method of only buying players under 24 years of age so that they have a sell on value.

United are sold to players on the understanding they can make their mark at St James and then be sold to a "bigger" club.

It does nothing to generate a team spirit or sense of continuity at the club.

[Altamullan]

With Anita and  Gouffran  in the centre of midfield, we were always going to be in trouble . Need to find a commanding centre midfielder who can protect the back four  better than these two.

I thought Anita played well. Gouffran was  clearly a liability, even in the first half.

[dinotheprehistoricgeordie]

Would changing our captain do much? Colcinni just doesn't care, he's never talking to the players or imposing himself. Might as well give it to Mitrovic, he's shown more leadership in his few games here than Colo ever has. Oh, I mean apart from his hand written letter, of course.

[Big Geordie]

Colo probably has some clause in his contract that he has to remain club captain (probably insisted by Ashley) There are no leaders in the club for a reason, afterall.

 

I hear Shearer was quite savage in his assessment on MotD last night? I didn't tune in, suffice to say.

This! Had this argument with many braindead idiots. Not saying we would have gone on to win ffs, but to deny that it would have been a different game had we gone in ahead by 2 goals at HT is just stupid. It wasn't even a borderline decision, or a dubious sending off. It was a clear goal. A well worked move and a finish at the end of it. Boils my piss tbh.

Eh? How is that even part of the rules? Perez was nowhere near Janmaat when the ball was played. He was in no way interfering with play, so the new rule shouldn't apply in this case.

No.

[Joe_F]

Goals on Sunday not even bothering to show the offside goal.

This is wrong. As soon as he is back onside having been inactive in an offside position, he is allowed to become active again in the new phase of play.

You sure about that? New rules were put in place this season so people become active again and hence offside.

Did they even have enough time? I mean there was 7 given goals to get through.

 

 

They had enough time to show a couple of chances that didn't go in so they did, aye

Wasn't the change not more to do with players blocking the keepers view/a defenders path whilst in an offside position?

That was one change, but I remember benteke's goal earlier in the season that should had been disallowed v bournemouth under the new rules as he was originally offside but not active in the start of the move for the goal.
