Newcastle United 3 - 4 Manchester City - 14/05/21 - Post-match reaction from page 14

[Lenny]

Longstaff has an utterly rotten habit of blindly passing into the centre of the park.

[Rafalove]

That’s the last time we’ll have the ball 

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

We're absolutely done now, like.

[Rafalove]

Oh well

maybe not

[TRon]

Bruce will be buzzing with that resullt. 

[54]

Well that was fun. Despite the loss, I enjoyed that game. Kind of a win win in my eyes, Bruce lost, got to watch an entertaining game of football. Jobs a gooden'.

Indeed he will. Extra chips with tonight's kebab.

[Yorkie]

17th defeat of the season for the league's current best manager. 

[ikri]

Can't fault much of that, other than the subs being far too late in the game and Shelvey being a lazy twat

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

"Pep. Pep.. Stay here for a bit and let me chat to you and suck yer hoop so you think I'm a nice guy and good manager!"

Laughable innit?

And the defending.

As dysfunctional back 5s go that's got to be up there

It was a good performance in as much as no one was really bothered about losing. Until that 4th goal we looked well capable of getting at least a point. But lack of pressure probably helped there. 

[Pilko]

As a Newcastle fan I'm always delighted to lose games 4-3 and find this kind of game infinitely preferable to winning 1-0. Good show Brucey, good show.

Another game we lost that Bruce will claim it's as good as a win. The post match interview is going to be cringeworthy....again.

[Andy]

Far more of a contest than I expected, like. Just emphasises the fact that this team shouldn't have spent most of the season clinging on. 

[Mattoon]

Turned off before post match, was an entertaining match to watch. Bruce bound to be thumping his chest, not a chance I'm listening to that.

Yeah apart from the last 25 minutes after the goal, which killed the game and City just passed it round us at will. Defensively thought we were shocking all game, but looked ok going forward when we had the opportunity,

Hate Bruceo obvs, but for some reason enjoyed that game. I always thought we'd lose, but we were entertaining overall a bit.

Agree. The last two games I’ve actually enjoyed.

It makes me hate Bruce more though.

[sh74]

Looked toothless up front when ‘big jow’ went off.

[HaydnNUFC]

I'm not too disheartened after that but you have to he taking something from the game after scoring 3 goals at home. Second time we've conceded 4 goals at SJP this season. That's the difference between good managers/coaches, if we take the lead v Man City (especially the Man City team on the park tonight) under Benitez we take either 1 or 3 points from tonight.

[samptime29]

Defensively wank but looked dangerous on the counter. Entertaining game.

Aye. We've always had the players capable of producing good, entertaining football but he's actively chose not to across the last two years.
