Live Match Discussion 2022/23

On some level, if City can’t be stopped winning all the time, more the fool everybody else.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I also think City aren't hard baking in decades of domination. They'll always be up there while they have the money but Pep is the difference maker, when he goes then they'll drop off to at least some extent automatically. You can't replace him.

maybe Newcastle might shake it up over the next few seasons

City won the league by 1pt last season.

 

[Alan]

City won the league by 1pt last season.

Is this… an argument? What’s happening?

I think they’ll be more of nuisance to Spurs, Chelsea and Man Utd in fighting for the top 4 as in the title they’ll struggle to bridge that gap any time soon.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If anyone ever wanted a pointer toward how good Pep is as a coach look at the transformation in Grealish in 18 months. Essentially a dribbly free kick buyer has been turned into an absolute driving force who looks every inch worthy of the fee paid.

Still can’t stand him, mind.

 

[jd1981]

Fuck off Wilson you diving prick

 

[PuntsWolf]

Brighton awful here. No idea why De Zerbi has made all these changes.

 

[jd1981]

Yeah the replacements look well off the pace Gilmour, Van Hecke and Bouonautte look a bit underwhelming.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Gilmour is a Scottish Harry Winks.

 

[WsWolf]

Brighton making it so easy for Newcastle here. Not even trying to vary it, just doing the same things that end up with them giving it away.

 

[jd1981]

Gilmour is a Scottish Harry Winks.

Ran the game at Wembley in 2021 apparently

 

[PuntsWolf]

This Van Hecke is atrocious. Colwill hasn’t even made the squad?

Steele is having an absolute stinker

To be fair most teams aren't generally as good at pressing as Newcastle are.

 

[jd1981]

Sometimes when it comes to defending being old fashioned isn’t always a bad idea.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Steele can *sort of* pass a ball sometimes but the rest of his goalkeeping is Ikeme level. Scandalous he's a PL starter for a good team.

He can’t pass tonight. He’s kicked it out of play more times than Sarkic and that pass into Gross with Joelinton right on him was straight out the Sa playbook.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Pope's kicking is wank. It's probably the only reason he isn't 1st choice for England.

Is he the same Steele who played for Sunderland and featured in the Sunderland til I Die documentary?
