Manchester City 1-0 Newcastle United (19/08/23)


Recommended Posts

We're a little timid but honestly they're just much better. Not much else to say. If we sell out and press insanely hard, we're going to run out of energy. They're just ruthless and are quicker in thought than we are. I don't think we've been all that bad, just not at their level.

This is a minging performance like. Not sure what the plan was, we're sitting off far too much, unrecognisable to our usual game.

They are just ridiculously good. The moment and speed of their players and passing is really tough to constant press.

Dont understand what is this? Players wandering around and someone like Joelinton walking without a care in the world. Where is the energy? Strange

 

I'll repeat the unpopular opinion I've been banging on since last season. Joe is a lot of good things but he is NOT a classical midfielder. It is EXPECTED he gets tactically lost like this.

 

I am disappointed with our tactics and how we're playing today. First off, if you are going to play this passively, what the fuck is the point of playing Joelinton. We have NOTHING TO LOSE. ManCity away at the beginning of the season. Who cares if we lose. Come out and take them on with intensity. What the hell is this passive shit. 

 

I expected us to come out with ambition and test ourselves with a nothing to lose mentality. I am sorry but this garbage.

Obviously difficult conditions to play against probably the best team in the world, but still feel like Joelinton & Isak in particular could have done more so far. Been quite sloppy both of them.
