I do care about Newcastle of course and I would love to see us win something. And I’m far from fanatical when it comes to Heaton Stan either. I just feel very detached at times and accept a loss like today with a shrug of the shoulders. Everything is so sanitised I think like this sometimes but being there for that second leg against Arsenal felt like something akin to an old football experience. Full blooded support for your team against a team you hate in a game we needed to win. I left St James feeling more connected with it all than ever. Then they serve that shit up today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 22489 Posted Sunday at 08:20 Share Posted Sunday at 08:20 I think yesterday was part tactical fuck up by Howe and part missing players through injury and a large part PSR. We regroup and go again next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 32810 Posted Sunday at 09:14 Share Posted Sunday at 09:14 It was the players not putting a full shift in. This is a team that got to the CL by giving 100% every week. When we do that we’re fantastic. If we don’t do that then we get days like yesterday, Fulham, Bournemouth etc. This side isn’t good enough to be able to coast through games, we need to be fully at it. It’s what our previous successes have been built on. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob toonpants 4280 Posted Sunday at 09:26 Share Posted Sunday at 09:26 Eddie's time at Newcastle has always been streaky, periods when we just look awful then bam we'll suddenly go a good winning run where we look like we will beat anybody. Just got to hope the next run starts before the cup final 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no snap in midfield, no desire to win the 50 50 balls and at least make it hard for them. It’s hard to explain really. When so much is at stake, why can’t they get up for certain games? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We regroup and go again next week. It was a massive tactical fuckup by Howe. We tried to play 433 in possession, and 541 out of possession, with Murphy dropping into RWB and Trippier at RCB. That worked against Arsenal with 3 CBs in the team and Trippier pushing up to RW in possession. It failed miserably yesterday with Trippier dropping into RCB every time we lost the ball. He got turned inside out twice for the first 2 goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like more of an attitude than a tactics problem to me. I don’t imagine Howe told them to stand off them all game and play without any commitment or energy so this one is on the players rather than the coach for me.

I'm not sure it was all down to you guys not showing up. I think Gonzalez went a long way towards filling the Rodri hole. Helping City be City again. Khusanov and Stones looked much more solid than any pairing for a while. And Marmoush showed that he can walk the walk. I was interested to see Khusanov sprinting with Gordon and catching him up. Have to say i expected more from Bruno and Tonali. Quite liked to see Burn and Haaland share a joke when Burn did that near post block for a corner.

PaddockLad 18775 Posted Sunday at 11:09 Share Posted Sunday at 11:09 (edited) Gonzales was excellent. He just tidied up, plugged gaps, fetched and carried and allowed Gundogan and Foden to create. Kushanov was unflustered but tbf wasn’t up against much. He helped double team Isak a few times. Nothing much to say about Marmoush his quality is obvious to all. Three almost certainly transformative signings all playing very well two weeks after the end of the window v decent opposition, a window in which we sold two squad players. Right from kick off Foden went into the pocket and caused problems, no one seemed to know who was marking him. Not long after that Dan Burn raced out into midfield to challenge him when he was on the ball further back on the half way line. Foden looked a bit shocked but it never happened again after that, City took control and that was the extent of our “front foot” stuff. We visibly wilted. Isak started occupying the space Murphy usually exploits. Bruno disappeared and this time it was contagious, Tonali was seemingly struck by the same bug. One man can’t do it all obvs especially v the league champions. Joelinton and Botman need to be back in time for our visit to Anfield and remain fit for the final if we’ve to have any chance… Edited Sunday at 11:11 by PaddockLad 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man who would be king (in the canteen), Alan Pardew, was the last manager to win down there but it doesn't count apparently as it wasn't in the hallowed PL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
