Title: The Champions at Newcastle
Post by: gavin on September 28, 2024, 11:19:50
Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Lewis, Gundogan, Bernardo, Grealish, Haaland

Rico in the middle and no pacy wingers. Keep ball today to stop the counter.

Great realism play and greater Guardiol finish.

Gündogan has had a stinker of a first half, but in the positive side he is getting plenty of the ball in the right positions.

Yeh, Gundo not been good at all but then it wasn't a good half generally. Nice goal though. Great work from Jack and really a top finish from Gvardiol. Hopefully, Pep can sort it out at half time.

showing plenty of quality all over the park but we need that cushion of another goal

Diving bastard, threw his foot into the floor and then fell over. How can the ref and VAR fall for that shit?

I never think Ederson will save a penalty. He's just too big and not nimble and fast enough. Terrible defending my City to allow Gordon to get free.

I'm amazed but not surprised it wasn't overturned.

A few minutes later they dive in the penalty areas again.

I'm sick to death of cheating footballers and Gordon is a prime example.

I was appalled at Savinho diving for a penalty the other week and I'm equally appalled at Gordon's dive. He knew the chance had got away from him so made sure he went down.

Not the way I like to see City (or any team) play games.

Well after a not so great result for City, you can always rely on the rags to cheer you up.
