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

[kingxlnc]

One of the worst performances of the season.

[kingxlnc]

Tino looked ok, so did Miley. Everyone else was rubbish.

[CPL]

Hopefully trigger a response next week and this game will quickly be forgotten about.

Really poor. But a chance to put it right next Sunday, think that’s a must win 

Lose that and were out the champions league for me.

If we want to progress we need CL ££££ - Europa/Conference doesn't come close

Still wouldn't be allowed to spend it.

 

You know, for Fairness...

[duo]

Nice dent into our Goal difference as well

[Kilcline]

Pathetic. In the posh seats and the highlight of my day is I've just seen Paul Mitchell getting the badge in.

 

Miley was good second half.

 

We got that badly wrong from the start tactically but the players have to look at themselves, didn't lay a glove on them at all.

[JT24]

Nice thank you from Newcastle to Man City for their help in the APT cases.

[SAK]

Such a lack of pace in defence. Made worse by not picking Livramento who has some.

[Vaj]

Miley was good and should be fourth choice centre mid and potentially third choice. The rest were poor except maybe Tino and Tonali (let himself down for the fourth). 
 

We will play like this until the final I reckon, could be out of the race for CL by then. Forest next week concerns me if we play like this again. 

[nufc4eva]

Not a good day at all but similar performances as against Fulham and Bournemouth. I can accept losing but we barely tried at all to get things moving, accepted defeat. We are at our best when we are aggressive and decisive moving it forward. When we did get the ball we fucked it up

[HaydnNUFC]

Didn’t bother watching the second half out of disgust, went out to get some steps in. Was intensity our identity in the second half?

[Maggies]

Until we have better core defence than Schar, Burn and Dubravka then we always risk these results. Those three are costing us at the moment.

 

Harsh on Burn as he’s performing better than expected, but he has quite a low ceiling when it comes to expectations.

In a long line of exclusively bad performances there (in the league) that might be the worst. Didn't expect that even though was all but 100% certain we'd lose.

[pedro111]

Didn't realise how much they spent in January. Certainly puts things into perspective. 

[nufcjb]

aabsolutely criminal performance that today.

[PRL]

Absolute shitter, but win next week and we are 3 points off third

Legit thought you were describing the team initially

Not at all. The same

I think they got their 10k in eventually.

[nufc123]

3 shots

[Stottie]

Cursed ground strikes again but that was still woeful capitulation. Team selection was wrong. Trippier might have been the correct call when we needed his experience to overcome nerves when 2-0 up against Arsenal, but he's well past his best, was a poor choice today, and got crucified. The rest of them weren't much better, esp. in central midfield.

 

Fulham was a weird game but City today and Bournemouth outplayed us start to finish. We played with no authority at all and couldn't even manage a decent ten-minute spell.

Will bang his head on a low ceiling

Good decision in the end, then. 

 

3 defeats in 4, 11 goals conceded. Fairly crap performances all round in the league so far in 2025. If there’s a mentality issue still there regarding big game(s) on the horizon we won’t win a thing. Proper small time.

[Scoot]

Shite performance, shite tactics. 

 

Move on to Forest. No point dwelling on it.
