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

[Lush Vlad]

I wish Pep would just fuck off. If City could get relegated to League One and all for all their alleged dodgy business. Give everyone else a chance to win, or even have the fucking ball for 30 seconds would be nice  

[Yorkie]

Not terrible. The team is lols so not gonna complain at the lack of swashbuckling. Fear we may run that missed chance.

 

The state of Sandro Tonali, though. ? Look forward to him one day being not shit.

[Disco]

Been utter shit and should still be one up
 

Miley might as well not be playing. Tonali, Hall and Dummett couldn’t trap a bag of cement and Isak must be sick of his life.

[Turnbull2000]

Tonali looking more like a flop with every passing game.

[LiquidAK]

Tonali looks a little off the pace but confident he'll be utter class once he's settled in the league 

[Mattoon]

You'd think City were winning 6-0 the way ESPN are going on, truth is they've been all fart, dull as dishwater.

[AJ9]

Murphy just about made the right decision I think but I feel the timing of the shot allowed the keeper to get set. If he could possibly have taken it earlier there might have been a chance. Keeper looked well set.

[Miggys First Goal]

Tonali playing for a move back to AC Milan. 

[David Edgar]

Winning the XG in a "one sided" game.

[christ]

Don Goodman doing that thing again where he thinks of an opinion and then repeats it for 10 minutes straight.

 

I mean, he’s not wrong but shut the fuck up eh?

[Mattoon]

We've got the higher xG

Tonali having a 'mare here.

Need him to step up; Joelinton is showing his international class. Isak is running around a bit/showing willing, Tonali has done no better than Miley. 

[gbandit]

Those two commentators are absolutely unbearable

[Numbers]

These commentators man.

He's been rubbish every time he's played since Villa but he'll come good.

Ffs ref

 

That was disgusting, Hall got shoved quite clearly, I was scared he was going to go after the guy and take his legs in anger when the ref just let it go.

[Kid Icarus]

Not great, but it did get better.

 

Not sure what's going on with our attempts at pressing and tackling, but I've seen more aggressive faith healing.

Remember what was said about Gordon. Give him some Eddie time first will yah.

[Ridman]

How long is that Gilette Sterling commercial going to run like? Feels like I've seen it a couple of times every game for years  now

Na na na na - na na........

That's Tonali completely written off by the forum then .

 

He will need a joelinton like comeback to change the minds of the nutters.

I'd rather watch Tony Pulis' Stoke side than Guardiola's Man City.

That’s what it got like with Pep’s Barcelona - they went from everybody being amazed by them to being bored to  tears. It’s obviously highly effective football but it’s hardly entertaining 

[KetsbaiaIsBald]

Maybe this is why Toonali generally passes first time when the balls played in to him. 

[duo]

Am so sick of Pep.  I would like to see how he would fair without the best players in the world.

Tonali is not looking great in that 6 role against a team that presses really well.

 

Touch has been very poor so far. 

 

 

 

KaKa, I like you, but let's not blame the position he's playing or the opposition tactics. 

 

He's been incapable of the very basics. He's not tackling, not passing, the pressing well enough.

 

He's absolutely shot in confidence and needs some of what Gordon has had.
