Hats off to Leeds & Brighton. Newcastle, Impressive but I don't trust em, they usually find a way to fail. I guess we will find out in the next 40 odd minutes.. I don't think anyone predicted those results. Shows that City aren't untouchable after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Trippier cost half of what we paid for **** Digne. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Trippier was an inspired signing as much as I hoped it wouldn’t work out, their business has been excellent it pains me to say. Hoped they’d go the Everton route of spunking money out like blind darts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Have visions of @OutByEaster? suddenly taking off his Leeds top and putting on a Newcastle one with the top 6 getting these shoe ins. Way this weekend has gone Man. United will win 4-0 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 The key to the so called rivals around us compared to us is a physicality, pace, power to their play and willingness to move for the ball and hunt in packs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Watching all the teams around us playing blinders this weekend makes me even more angry that we have fookin' Gerard as our manager. Another wasted opportunity this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Not looked at the stats but it seems to be mentioned a lot that City don’t start seasons well but once they get going are like the juggernaut. Not taking anything away from Newcastle they have been excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, they also have a central midfield & play full backs as full backs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In last four years he's started and scored in world cup SF for England, started a CL final, won league with Atletico Madrid starting every week and also started the euros final for England. In terms of mentality he's one of the best Newcastle could've realistically got at this stage of their evolution. Guimaraes is the one though that's totally changed their style of play, someone Steve Bruce wouldn't have a clue how to play but everything going through him.

stewiek2 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Oh and not starting games at minus 10 miles an hour. Gerrard has us from the off trying to bore the opposition rather then get at them. Which is why our players look so unfit, and probably are as they don't get coached to play high tempo football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some backroom staff who know how to run a **** football club, and a manager who knows how to get his team to do the basics, they've leapfrogged us in a year. Aston Villa is a **** circus, and the clowns aren't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
