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

[r0cafella]

This has been one of those games whereby I can’t help but think we needed a proper Dm as our midfield does usually concede space behind them. 
 

Fortunatly we won’t be coming up against a team of this calibre until they come to SJP.

3 points after Villa (H) and City (A) I'd have taken at the start of the season. With a +3 GD I'd have bitten your hand off. There's a long, long way to go yet.

Have to say, don’t think I’ve been so bored watching NUFC. Regulation loss at the Etihad. Passed off the park by an utterly ridiculous city team that makes football blab entirely joyless experience. Like watching someone really really good at FIFA. 

Which is essentially exactly what Man City are in the PL lol

[Guest]

Not a fan of Issak leading the line, much prefer when he has a 'free' role

[SiLvOR]

Tindall right in saying we've been so fucking bad on the ball. Feels like this has been a slight missed opportunity

[Pilko]

Can't wait to see that shit haircut gormless cunt Foden fail to produce for England time after time over the next decade whilst he looks like the spawn of Maradona against us every sodding time.

 Was thinking this too, can't remember being so bored by NUFC in the last year. City just too good

[SUPERTOON]

Been a pretty poor game tbh, won’t dwell on the defeat to much.

[JUICE690]

We had a shot on goal?

[Holloway]

Aye Foden mom right enough but he's been sucked off like Messi on here tonight 

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

Won’t have a harder game all season. 

[toontownman]

Longstaff proper cursed today. I don't think he has done anything but give the ball away with every touch. 

[Myleftboot]

Mad dogs raging.

[Shearergol]

Aren’t we as good as Man City yet then? Fuck.

Aye out the way for the season, thank fuck.

[Unbelievable]

FT, can’t complain too much. City are a formidable team, we are not… yet

[LiquidAK]

No real complaints about that. They're the best team in the world and showed it - control the ball so well. Foden was unplayable.

 

Impressed by Schar and Botman, they had Haaland under control all game, great performance. Miggy put in another huge shift, endless running.

 

Positives to take for sure. Now lets batter Liverpool at home

[Rich]

Five extra seconds

[Mattoon]

Foden is some player like, we've not been poor, they've forced us into errors, we hate it when we get told we only beat this team or that team because they played bad. We could have done better with our chances but City are just another level, we're not 2 years into this ownership yet, we'll get there.

 

We've given them a game and made them sweat at times, we've defended well goal aside and we've had a couple of chances to score. Better teams will come here and lose by more.

[Mike]

Bah. We're two, three years away.

[NUFC]

We dont half fanny around with the ball, theres a minute left get it forward ffs

[jarralad]

Didn't think we would get anything from this game and not that disappointed with the result. 

[Newcastle Fan]

We gave them far too much respect and didn't really look convinced we could get something out of it, Howe and his team will need to learn to manage such occasions better.

[Superior Acuña]

I never expected anything from that, so I'm just quite happy to see man City shitting it and running down the clock, a sign of huge progress.
