The Editor asked me to give 3 positives and 3 negatives from Newcastle 1 Manchester City 0, so here they are...
Ahead of each match we ask one of our writers to come up with three positives and three negatives following the game.We beat the best team in the worldI wouldn’t disagree with that, yet we beat them.
Man City take this competition seriously – they won it in 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. So to beat them – deservedly in the end – is an achievement to be proud ofFour clean sheets on the bounce is a statistic I didn’t think I’d be writing about, given the personnel we fielded at the back, and the fact it was Manchester City they were facing.
They showed great levels of discipline, concentration, aggression and skill, and the way they celebrated at the end shows how well they did. Take a bow, ladsJoelinton was superb, of course, Tonali showed glimpses of why he is rated so highly, and the introduction of Gordon and Bruno was key to our victory.I thought it was Murphy’s best game in a Newcastle shirt, I loved Targett’s crunching tackles, Lascelles played like a captain, and Dummett was a revelation.
I don’t know if it was tactics, fear, respect or the fact that our XI had never played together before, but we were a poor second-best. It was as if we were mesmerised by City’s slick play, and thought we’d sit back and watch. To be fair, the cautious approach limited our opponents to a couple of chances in the first half, and it never felt like they laid siege to our goalWe were outsung by the away contingent throughout the first 40 minutes and I’m sure that had an effect on the players.
