Manchester City 5-0 Newcastle United (08/05/2022)

[Coffee_Johnny]

Can’t afford to miss the only chance we had, bar offside, and expect anything better there. Still only 0-2, get the next goal and who knows. If we don’t score soonish, they’ll remain fully confident and just settle into gradually demolishing us. They have put almost everything down the left side.  Obviously preplanned.

I’m sure Sterling was offside for their 2nd

[Espio]

Forgot Longstaff was even on the pitch

I mean I like Wood and he works hard. But a free header should be what he excels at, and it't not even surprising when he fluffs it. I genuinely think its a bigger chance if you cross it to Sterling.

What do you like about him? Out of interest.

[Pokerprince2004]

Don't even think City have been that good, quite sloppy at times. Think the Madrid hangover was there but luckily for them they're up against average opposition and a terrible striker. A better team would've asked questions of them today

They barely even mentioned that, thought there was a foul in there too, though not obvious. But it's Man City, so you know, not worth discussing.

Did we touch it for our offside? I can’t remember

As if Jamie Redknapp is blaming Targett's "body shape" for the first goal, what a fucking whopper

Think it was directed more at ASM.

If ever a game ever summed Wood up. Missed a straightforward header, but he's held the line well.

This right here. That was a 100% free header and he just lumps it casually to Ederson, what a fucking dogshit fucking player he is.

ASM can only play in one direction. 

 

He's a liability. 

He's a liability going forward as well constantly loses the ball

It hit Bruno yeah

[samptime29]

Bit annoying tbh. We haven't played that badly but the 2 goals we've conceded were sloppy. Could easily be 2-1 and still just about in the game but it's game over now.

[Schecter]

The frustrating thing is, we are playing City when you would want to play them but as the case has been all season we are awful going forward. Only comfort is thinking Liverpool might not win the league thanks to our piss poor performance. 

[PlymouthGeordie]

That header should be bread and butter for Wood. It's meant to be his biggest strength but he's missed a few like that for us.

 

Dubravka obviously poor for the second goal but we have done ok.

 

If we manage to get the next goal it would definitely play on their nerves/fears.

All three of our forwards will be replaced within 12 months. That’s the issue.

Almiron is useless against the good teams in the prem. He was embarrassing against Liverpool and has been poor today as well. Works hard but there's just no end product. 1 goal this season and 0 assists ffs.

 

Made loads of decent runs that no one has found, to be fair.

[Groundhog63]

We'll score 3 in the 2nd half man. Wilson double and a Tripp's screamer over the wall. 

Got the dog out ( B & W collie) and she's just curled one out. 

I read the future in the pile of turd she left

[Mattoon]

If Wilson is fit enough he needs to come on, he's our best, probably only change of doing some damage.

[Awaymag]

Just chill, ignore the Sky wanking.  We get spanked....it doesn't matter.  If we are still getting spanked after we have spent £1 B then get annoyed.

Wood had perfect opportunity, it was a piss poor effort. It's frustrating as for all his limitations, a simple tsll strikers header in the goal you'd expect as a minimum from him.

[Kaizero]

So the HT experts in the Norwegian studio essentially says ASM is to blame for almost all chances created by City as he doesn't pay attention and leaves tons of space on the flank for City to utilize and expose.

[STM]

That baby doesn't need ear defenders. The crowd needs a microphone though.

I see a goalkeeper everyone said was MUCH MUCH better than Darlow being as shit and call it what it is  

Even this incarnation of Dubravka > Darlow.

Does my head in when people diss our home support during match day threads (as it's rarely deserved).

 

But imagine us being top of the league, 2 games from winning it, and 2-0 up at home. We'd be fucking unbearably loud and absolutely rocking it. Man City fans are embarrassing. Completely soulless. 

I could hardly tell they had scored, literally no reaction from the crowd.
