NUFC vs Man City

[Cannylad]

MoM for Newcastle for me was Pope, Mom for Man C. was the ref.

Unbeaten start to the season and a winnable game at Wolves next Sunday. Might have a new signing or two by then too dare I say it

Aye, Ref was very poor, That one where their player climbed all over Joelinton just before he got booked, Stones climbing over Schar in the box, de Bruyne doing Bruno but Bruno got booked for doing the same moments later and any number of barges off the ball that went unpunished.

That's just typical though whenever we play one of the so callled big teams.

I'm proud that we gave them a game for most of the match and had them rocking several times.

I would have taken the point before the game and were it not for VAR stepping in the save us from poor refereeing, we would have been blown away.

Wood really isn't getting any better and the window is closing. Murphy was like a cardboard cut out when he came on. The starting 11 played amazingly well

[Zippity]

Aye, Trini, our starting 11 (with Targett at L is very good but we need some serious options off the bench.

[Cannylad]

I am absolutely astonished at how far we have come in such a short time, that game today was unbelievable I couldn't fault any player on the team, they all fought for each other, under Br*** the team would have collapsed after they scored the first goal. I can only imagine how far we can go this season with a couple of attacking new signings. Eddie Howe is the man.

[Sclox]

Wow.

Before their 3rd we should have had a free on their 18yd box. Joelinton was a climbing frame for another missed free. Ref wanted to send Tripps off, no way was that a red. A few decisions went their way at key moments but I am not bitter.

Dellighted with a draw but tasted the win for a minute. Hats off to the lads, wait to see what we do when we make more signings - thise lads that came on show how fragile our starting 11 actually is.

[Sclox]

...what was that, 10 minutes of extra time ffs.

[Jammy89]

Great result.

The spirit the team showed was brilliant - it shows why Eddie wants the character to be right for anyone we sign.
