Manchester City 4-0 Newcastle United - 15/02/2025

[Shearergol]

I don’t give a shit about the result, this is all about our completely unacceptable performance.

Barring injuries, that'll be the last we see of Trippier starting in Newcastle shirt I'd say

Really not sure we make any kind of European competition, never mind the Champions League.

CL or bust for me (I know we will qualify through League cup should we win it.

[soyt]

It is a bit PFM thing to say, but you just can not have any excuses for not trying hard in sport. We clearly have attitude problems from time to time. Just so infuriating.

Of course it's about that. 

 

All I've seen all day long is stupid score predictions, 0-3 etc away to a side we never beat away, I don't think it's arrogance, it's just getting carried away and believing we're somehow going to win because Man City are slightly out of form, you know a side that just won four titles back to back.

Didnt expect a win, but didnt expect us to not put up a fight either. Shocking flat all over.

[Pancrate1892]

The most predictable thing about going to the Etihad is zero goals. When did we last scored here? Even bottom 3 shite manage to get at least a goal now and then. 

We have to try and land on mars to get a goal

Miley on - Willock off

Tino on for Trips

Think willick will be away in the summer. Shame cos I think he has a lot to give.

[Pilko]

This result shouldn't really matter too much in the wider context of our season, but given the performance and total inability to even slightly compete today against a patchy City side I can see why there's a lot of us pissed off.

 

If we miss out on Europe via the league it's not today that'll have done it but some of the home defeats to the likes of Brighton, West Ham, Fulham etc that have done it.

[TheBrownBottle]

Fucking ho’way lads, need a much better second half showing than that shite first half

Howe has been let down massively by Willock and Trippier today.

 

Absolutely disgraceful really.

 

Have to look at moving them on this summer.

Agreed. Bit of a portent for how we'll set up/approach Liverpool too tbf.

Blaming FFP after every time we look crap is starting to get boring like

Matters a lot no? Europe via the league is our best bet. 

 

 

I don't fancy us against Liverpool at all.

No we don't, we only qualify for Europa league.

This is a different City team to the ones from those games, though. In previous seasons they were borderline invincible, this time we're just playing like they are. 

I agree, but at the same time we've also been miles better in the last 3 years and these records do weigh heavy imo. Great teams have them too.

[NE27]

Chronic lack of effort today, to do even the most basic of things.

 

Not sure what we are playing at.

[Karjala]

Long ball tactic working every single time for citeh

I think it's more the effort levels that people are annoyed with today than anything related to ability, to be honest. We are clearly going through the motions. No pressure on the ball, no intensity, no aggression. 

 

Those three things have given this city team issues time and time again this season. 

 

Absolutely, that's the case, but equally, there's a lot out there with their heads up there arse when it comes to our real level.

[Tsunami]

Still fuming here; waiting to get beat from minute one. We have to get rid of this inferiority complex. 

[La Parka]

Willocks gonna be gutted like. He's not well rounded enough to play in the middle especially against the top sides. He should be starting Vs sides we expect to beat not the other way around 

[Sibierski]

So annoyed. Probably the worst Man City side we will face away, and we’ve turned up and again gifted goals. Yet again this season, we’ve lost, and lost comfortably from us being proper shit and not the opposition needing to bring their A game.

 

Not going to get Europe via league with this. UCL we can forget about for now.

Thought after Birmingham, Willock would have had a proper go today, but been anonymous.

 

Needs to go in the summer.
