All their players are constantly on the move, and you have a master lock picker in KDB. I think the 1st goal was poor but the second two were just brilliant movement from City. With a David Batty and Rob Lee in midfield they wouldn’t have been so dominant in the second half.We stood off,hence the reason they got on top.In stark contrast to the first half.

McDog Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 1 minute ago, wormy said: Not to go over the top but that was an utterly corrupt performance from the ref. Wanted every possible margin to go in Man City's favour. Makes the lads holding out for that point even more admirable. Can't fault any of them one bit. Man City definitely stepped it up a gear in the second half and some of their passing around the box to get through our defence was sublime. Reversed the offside and the red card so not sure about. City did seem to get the benefit of the doubt though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only been 3 games and he's played well in 2 of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. This. I’d love to see Bruno further forward like he was when he first came in last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I thought the ref was pretty much fine, having watched it on telly. Got the Trippier decision wrong and reversed it after checking VAR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) There were so many good things going on the Newcastle side. Man, what a fun game. I haven't checked the table yet because I just started watching Leeds-Chelsea. Edited August 21, 2022 by McDog Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 What is most pleasing for me is that it wasnt a fluke. Other times we have been hanging on the line (sure at the end it was a little bit like that) to get a result. This time we at times dominated City. Cant remember we created such big chances against a side with this quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we add more quality and teams can’t marshal him as closely as they may like to he’s going to be lethal. He had Walker looking like he’d been on the meths. I think the fact he said he was listening to Trippier (and by extension probably Howe) about how to improve is huge. I’ve never been more optimistic about ASM than this moment. He was world class, French national team level today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to balance making the one on one challenge with a pass instead of always trying the dribble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never been more optimistic about ASM than this moment. He was world class, French national team level today. It's been noticeable in all 3 games so far this season that ASM is trying to pass more. There have been a bunch of situations where in previous seasons you would have expected him to either carry on dribbling to attempt the shot but instead he's been looking for the pass. Last week those passes were almost all off target but this week a lot of them found a team mate. If he can continue he'll have a great season.
