f*** me

they played well but still got absolutely schooled there. Did we even get into second gear?

you wait an hour for a bus etc...

hahaha nice

Problem with Owen and Fowler is they were both broken before they should have been hitting their prime, teams are much more careful with blooding new talent at those ages these days and probably cite those two as the reason for protecting them.

if we can stop giving the ball away so often we'll be well decent I recon. thought the ref was buying their cheating first half, wise to it second half.

That scamp Robbie Fowler pulled one or two of them off. He could hit a ball.

it was over as a contest as soon as their keeper had his brain fart. If he doesn't do that we're likely 3-0 up. We got complacent after that which Virg picked up on in his interview. It turned into a training exercise. Credit to Newcastle though, they played on with heart. bless them.

You spelt 2 wrong. I think we challenge. We just gave city a right old kick in the confidence.

light pre-season not up to full match fitness, that's the issue. I suspect the powers that be did this on purpose due to the length of the season with the world cup in the middle to try and protect the players. I guess they know now this was wrong.

there was something nice in the commentary, something along the lines of... 'with all the focus on Haaland today, there's a reminder from the other end what world class actually looks like'

I worry Bobby gets marked out the game at CF, what about dropping him deeper and stick Nunez up top. Target Bobby with the out balls and he can no look nutmeg through-ball to the front three. With City's high line Nunez could have a field day. Drop Fab, he's struggling. or keep as is and have Mo and Jota more central with Bobby in between still with Hendo and Thiago a little wider. I go now to war game this on Football Manager.

Nice one, Bobby purring tonight

Because that's what Bobby does

its got a little interesting for sure!
