Newcastle United 1-0 Manchester City (27/09/23)

[nortoon]

Think we are looking back to our defensive solidity from last season, which is great.

 

Was thinking at a stage that Joelinton would be our man of the match, won so many balls and back to his bullying best. But it has to go to Livramento who was absolutely outstanding, crazy to think he is our backup.

 

Special mentions to the whole back 4 as well. I thought Targett was also absolutely great and looked back to the quality he showed when we signed him in january, and there is something special about a Dummett sliding in and getting a clean sheet in 2023.

[Miggys First Goal]

Can we all agree that Eddie knows what he’s doing and not shit worselves when he picks the likes of Dummett and Lascelles. 

[Guybrush]

Get, and I say this with great enthusiasm, in.

[Kid Icarus]

Pope: 7

Livramento: 10

Lascelles: 8

Dummett: 8

Targett: 8.5

Tonali: 6

Miley: 6 Bruno: 8

Joelinton: 7

Murphy: 6.5

Isak: 8

Hall: 6 Gordon: 8

 

Probably some generous ratings there for the 1st half lads, but meh.

100m pounds for Jack Grealish

 

He's lucky Man City do so well anyway, because that guy does nothing for them.

 

The difference in danger once Doku came on was night and day.

 

Pep should try him as one of the 8s I think. On the left he is so ordinary. Just passes back to the middle all game.

 

Light work for Tino Livramento.

Liverpool home next pls. I want revenge.

Eddie doesn’t know how to play against Liverpool. I’d rather we avoided them 

[SUPERTOON]

Isak said he’s okay 

[Hudson]

Spectacular performance the 2nd half 

 

In 40 years of watching football I've never seen anything this.

What a magnificent team performance that second half was. Bravo.

[Big Geordie]

Terrific win and 2nd half performance.

 

Liveramento star man

[toontownman]

How have we done that with our starting line up. So much credit due to the players and Howe. Not least for the half time subs. Changed everything. 

 

This squad.. man. Love em.

 

Gordon is next level at the moment.

[Beren]

With only a little bit of hyperbole, that was akin to beating a prime Barcelona-Guardiola team in 90 minutes. 

 

Might take a while to sink in.

[AJ9]

The dopamine hit is back everyone. This team is rolling now.

Dummett a 10.

[Wilson]

But Tonali's first touch wasn't very good so let's concentrate on that please. 

 

Also we were so shit in the first half that they had 1 clear shot.

 

disclaimer: joking I am. 

[pedro111]

Bruno absolutely levels above when he came on like. Tino is even better than I thought. Come on!

nailed on.

[gazza ladra]

Didn’t see, but so much sounds encouraging… Joelinton back, Livramento, a rest for the starting back line, and a clean sheet.

Shout out to Lascelles, outstanding tonight, looked pretty decent on the ball too. 

[PhilT]

Port Vale away would be nice.

 

Liverpool at Anfield more likely.
