The Prophet Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 What a class game. Against any other team I'd be furious with throwing a way a two goal lead, but it's City. We went toe to toe with arguably the best team in the world and came away with a point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Brighton’s win at Wist Am also puts our result in a different context. Delighted by today, hope we can carry it into the next two away games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Great game, and just highlighted the progress from last season, to put 3 past Man City, and be disappointed to only take a point in the end, considering the 4-0 and 5-0 last season. Miggy right place to knee it in on the slide, another great finish by Wilson, and Tripps.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 What an insane game - Some more luck and a better bench and we could have had the three points. Ref was daft imo - The early yellow on Bruno was suddenly not yellow every time City did the same. And the Joelinton yellow I feel was also way harsh especially when he should have had a freekick the moment before. ASM was truly the level that we all have waited for. If we get a bit more quality on the pitch we will be a force to be reckoned with, the gegenpress play in the first half was just truly amazing. Fucking fantastic job from the whole gang.

54 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Love that from Pep, when asked if that was horrible "Yeah but we don't play alone, they have quality players too", then asked the reporter if he enjoyed the game, reporter said yes, and Pep essentailly said "My work here is done" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcnick Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I have been one of ASMs biggest critics this season, but he was absolutely outstanding today, it just shows what he can do when a team is arrogant enough to leave him one on one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I’m beginning to think our best bet is to sign a proper specialist DM and a proper specialist attacking mid / winger that’ll offer us the best optionality. Today I’d have loved for a real strong def mid to allow Bruno to get up more. And also an attacking mid like Bernardo Silva who occupies wide but is interplaying with the midfield and getting up field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, had a discussion about this in the transfer rumours thread earlier today, and I agree. We've been linked with the DM from Ajax, Alvarez, and so we may well see that happen.

Big Geordie Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Superb game of football. We were terrific against probs the best team in Europe, if not the world. ASM looked world-class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNK Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 That was the best EPL game of the season so far! Amazing football from both teams. First full NUFC game I saw this season, good to see Wilson playing well again and I really liked Pope, seems way better than Dubravka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll still get enough games (especially if God willing, we get into Europe), but against these top teams especially, a strong DM sitting in there would have been great.

christ Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 All I wanted from today was an indication we were progressing and I got that. Played them off the park for the first 45 and posed a threat throughout. ASM was majestic. It’s obviously gutting to be 3-1 up and draw, but I never really believed we’d win even when Trippier scored. If you’d offered me five points after the first three games I’d have snapped your hands off. We’re a couple of good players away from having a really formidable side.

Bernardo is a different breed man. The only guy I can think of that I have seen play all those positions well that we may be able to get is Brandt from Dortmund.

Thumbheed Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 That performance has got me well excited for the next 2 weeks. Winger, forward and a DM and we're in an excellent place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Just got back - I think it's a testament to how well we played that I am disappointed with a draw. I think if there was one glaring thing today hopefully highlighted to the owners is the lack of depth in the squad. The players looked shattered - they gave it their all but there just was no quality on the bench to bring on. We defo need a couple more players.
