looking forward to this one

Rowley Birkin QC · « **Reply #2 on:** November 30, 2019, 12:50:53 »

Sterling looking a bit lack lustre so far. Holding on to the ball too long. Fluffing opportunities. How good is David Silva still though?

Rowley Birkin QC · « **Reply #3 on:** November 30, 2019, 12:52:25 »

Sterling promptly makes me look stupid 😁.

Rowley Birkin QC · « **Reply #4 on:** November 30, 2019, 12:53:11 »

Wouldn't have got it without Silva though...

Hesperus · « **Reply #5 on:** November 30, 2019, 12:58:52 »

Same old problems for this season.

Hesperus · « **Reply #6 on:** November 30, 2019, 13:01:18 »

Not much energy in the side today.

Rowley Birkin QC · « **Reply #7 on:** November 30, 2019, 13:04:03 »

Absolutely static for their equaliser.

stephenmcfc · « **Reply #8 on:** November 30, 2019, 13:06:26 »

walking pace so far

Hesperus · « **Reply #9 on:** November 30, 2019, 13:11:35 »

Foden gives us more energy in midfield, I really can’t understand why he hasn’t been used more this season given our injuries.

gavin · « **Reply #10 on:** November 30, 2019, 13:21:52 »

We need to go up three or four gears in this second half. We are getting the ball around and into the box and it should fall for us again in the end but we can't rely on that. When we do get the opportunity to break, we have to do it with pace.

stephenmcfc · « **Reply #11 on:** November 30, 2019, 13:24:12 »

Dire ffs , get Bernardo and Foden on to lift the tempo

Rowley Birkin QC · « **Reply #12 on:** November 30, 2019, 13:48:09 »

How poor is our physicality? Too many players being out muscled in 50 - 50 contests.

Rowley Birkin QC · « **Reply #13 on:** November 30, 2019, 13:58:21 »

That's terrible from Jesus. Player of his quality has to score there.

gavin · « **Reply #14 on:** November 30, 2019, 13:58:54 »

Yep, hitting it right at the keeper was piss poor.

Rowley Birkin QC · « **Reply #15 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:01:16 »

FFS - we can't hit a fucking barn door!

Rowley Birkin QC · « **Reply #16 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:11:04 »

KdB can hit a barn door!

The Blue Blooded Maniac · « **Reply #17 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:12:15 »

Like how the ref just ignored the flying elbow just before the goal.

Rowley Birkin QC · « **Reply #18 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:17:28 »

Rubbish City. And you can blame Mendy for that goal. His poor touch led to the free kick.

Hesperus · « **Reply #19 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:21:35 »

Mendy has been poor today. Not alone though. Poor up front again. I’m sorry but I’ve never rated Jesus.

gavin · « **Reply #20 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:22:31 »

Not good enough. To let a team like Newcastle score two is shameful but we have been poor all over really. Only KDB can hold his head high.

Hesperus · « **Reply #21 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:23:10 »

We’re just not at the races this season.

Rowley Birkin QC · « **Reply #22 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:25:02 »

We can ship Mendy out. What happened to him? A shadow of the player we first brought in!

lee · « **Reply #23 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:26:56 »

mendy looks like he's never played football before..

the defending is shocking

Hesperus · « **Reply #24 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:27:17 »

Come on Leicester! They look the best bet to catch the dippers.

agree..all cock and no dollar

stephenmcfc · « **Reply #26 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:29:07 »

Mendy not good enough , simple , lost to many balls and too slow

Hesperus · « **Reply #27 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:31:17 »

The more worrying thing for me is that in recent games we’ve been pretty boring to watch. Gone is the skill, flare and speed.

Paddy · « **Reply #28 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:36:10 »

Thought Wednesday night was poor, This was pathetic. Why must we keep trying to walk it in. Jesus and Mendy were total crap as were the rest except for the goal scorers...

Rowley Birkin QC · « **Reply #29 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:40:48 »

We seemed to immediately lose concentration after KdB's goal, like the job was done. Too much head tennis and long balls suddenly dropped into our play - and Newcastle got a last sniff. Should have kept it tight, with the ball on the deck, and made them chase. But Mendy gets in a muddle, fails to execute a basic pass, thus obliging Fernandinho to give away the foul (lucky not to be sent off), and Newcastle gets a free kick in a dangerous position they should never have seen sight off. That's really disappointing.

very true , not long ago we would have been banging 4 or 5 here , but the bite is going

stephenmcfc · « **Reply #31 on:** November 30, 2019, 14:55:16 »

dont like knocking players Mahrez and Mendy were not there today at all

Swiss · « **Reply #32 on:** November 30, 2019, 15:26:01 »

There is no leadership on the pitch, no defender or midfielder to grab the game/ players by the scruff of the neck

Neil Mcnab · « **Reply #33 on:** November 30, 2019, 17:01:05 »

We have not been at the races for a while. I always predicted it was Liverpools year, third is looking where we will end up.

lee · « **Reply #34 on:** November 30, 2019, 18:38:26 »

I'll be disappointed we wont win the league again.I can take defeat.We all remember the dark days and the feeling of being shit.
The thing that bothers me is the scousers winning it.A feeling none of us want.

Still the Peter Swales in us all is to finish above the rags..I'll take that every season.

Hesperus · « **Reply #35 on:** November 30, 2019, 19:32:57 »

We’ve won once in the last 5 games. If that isn’t enough for Pep to make some bold changes I don’t know what is.

Next game, Rodri and Stones at CB, Fernandinho back in midfield (where he belongs) along with Bernardo. Drop Mahrez and Gundogan.

Rowley Birkin QC · « **Reply #36 on:** November 30, 2019, 21:09:43 »

I agree with Hesperus. One thing we desperately need is Fernandinho back in his familiar position.

KunDB · « **Reply #37 on:** November 30, 2019, 21:19:27 »

I really think now is the time to give the academy players a chance to shine. Especially at the back. What have we to lose, the PL is as good as gone anyway.

Kompany is a big miss on and off the pitch

he was the link between the team and manager

stephenmcfc · « **Reply #39 on:** December 02, 2019, 04:51:28 »

currently we dont have a player with his qualities of leadership which is showing on the pitch now

Pep maybe should have looked into this before the big mans departure
