Newcastle rewarded with a goal for being on top for the most part.

1-1

martyos121 · 21-08-2022 03:59PM

Fully deserved equaliser from Newcastle, love to see a team putting it up to City.

Agent Coulson · 21-08-2022 04:00PM

Deserved

Lol jinx.

Refreshing to see a team have a go at City instead of rolling over from the 1st minute.

martyos121 · 21-08-2022 04:03PM

The sheer amount of clear-cut yellow cards City get away with will never fail to amaze me.

SlickRic · 21-08-2022 04:03PM

What is the difference between that and Guimares? Rodri tax again.

Arghus · 21-08-2022 04:03PM

Thought City were going to steamroll Newcastle, but Newcastle really took the game to them in the last 15 minutes.

Agent Coulson · 21-08-2022 04:03PM

No yellow card for a clear professional foul by Rodri

Ottoman_1000 · 21-08-2022 04:04PM

Fair play to Newcastle, one of my pet peeves is teams that just turn up and accept defeat against City. They can actually be got at it if your willing to have a go at them...

Well, they rolled over in the 4th minute but ASM is playing out of his skin and dragged them back into it, despite Almiron's best efforts to shoot as many wides as he can.

Its great that its an actual game now though. I wish more teams would try. This City team aren't invincible despite how good they are.

ctrl-alt-delete · 21-08-2022 04:09PM

Newcastle have been superb,

2-1

machiavellianme · 21-08-2022 04:09PM

Pigeons, meet cat

Agent Coulson · 21-08-2022 04:09PM

Totally deserved lead

earthwormjack · 21-08-2022 04:10PM

That was a great goal.

DellyBelly · 21-08-2022 04:11PM

Wow...some turnaround...

martyos121 · 21-08-2022 04:11PM

Newcastle have been top class. A bit worrying to think that this is before the big petrodollars get spent, there’s a clear footballing plan and vision in place already at the club.

wanderer100 · 21-08-2022 04:12PM

Go on Newcastle !!

SuperTortoise · 21-08-2022 04:13PM

Deserved from Newcastle.

For all the money city have spent their defence is very average. They get away with it because nobody has a go at them.

cmac2009 · 21-08-2022 04:15PM

Is there anyone else in the league with quicker burst of speed than ASM? Phenomenal.

Adama Traore is the only one you could probably make a case for, there’s actually quite a few parallels between them along with that, none more so than a lack of consistency.

If ASM played like this every week, he’d be playing for the other team today.

Agent Coulson · 21-08-2022 04:28PM

City may still end up winning this however Newcastle are another team showing the best way to play City is to be on the front foot and attack them don't sit back and let them dominate the game.

Fitz* · 21-08-2022 04:37PM

It's rare to see a team actually be brave enough to try and play football against Man City, instead of just sitting back and giving up early on.

They are getting their rewards so far.

~Rebel~ · 21-08-2022 04:40PM

As an aside to all this, I can't get over how commentators still just say Joe Lintin... I don't expect them to say it right, but it's like his name was close enough to something they recognise that they just completely don't bother their arses to give it a half decent go. Like, even if they just included the 'el' (Jo-el-in-ton), it'd be alright.

ctrl-alt-delete · 21-08-2022 04:44PM

Cracking freekick,

3-1

Jarhead_Tendler · 21-08-2022 04:44PM

Sports washing Super Sunday has delivered. Great game so far

Agent Coulson · 21-08-2022 04:44PM

What goal

Jarhead_Tendler · 21-08-2022 04:45PM

Wow what a goal by Trippier

Fitz* · 21-08-2022 04:45PM

Great free kick. Just after Haaland hit the post and nearly equalised. Small margins.

Vicxas · 21-08-2022 04:46PM

Trippier, take a bow
