Really wish we would drop antonio and play the actual striker we paid good money for ..

Fair play to Brighton. Proper bogey club for us

Didn't expect a win but expect a better performance
 
knee high no attempt at the ball, red all day long for me

Just outta interest coz I don’t know the answer to this. A two footed challenge with feet off the floor is deemed as “ player not in control so he sees red, yet both feet off floor and 1 footed challenge it’s yellow. Any reason for that. I thought it was deliberate and clumsy but dangerous no.
 
Only watched the second half as Ave been up to the tits in it. But from what I saw Newcastle were really balanced and organised. They looked hungry and had belief. Got to say i would be happy if I was a geordie fan at the moment.

I don't think it was at all clumsy. It was both deliberate and calculated. He knew what he wanted to do and he did it. I disagree that it's not dangerous as well. Any player running flat out gets their legs taken away like that and you don't know the consequences. This time nothing, another time it could be quite different.

I'm with @clubchamp98 on this, I'd like to see tackles like this taken out of the game.

I have to be careful how I word it as the “ rose tinted glasses” gets thrown back ?. what surprised me was when the ref went to the screen what did he see different that he never saw in real time

as Stu will no doubt tell you, once hes called to the screen hes always overruling, its not his decision, clearly theyre just saving face lol
 
Can we have Antonio back if you don’t want him?

Id rather keep him as back up and for the europa games for rotation.

but he shouldnt be a starting striker in the premier league .. maybe in a 2 or a fluid 3 but not out and out

he is mr muscle but gets pushed off the ball so easy its rather pathetic to watch

then you have a proper striker on the bench who scored mid week and his reward was still on bench.. yes antonio scored an amazing tap in mid week aswell... but has done nothing in the league all season apart from get a goal disallowed against you guys for trying to be clever and taking a man out rather than just continue his run. (he would have hit him anyways but the change of run makes it a foul. idiot.)
 
A few things to take from the game today

1. Pope is the best English GK in the league - he should be England Number 1

2. Wilson is going to score a lot of goals if he can stay fit

3. City look better without Grealish
 
Newcastle away will be a graveyard for many teams this season. Underrated recruitment and manager. City not at their best but went through the gears when it mattered. Both sides happy with a point but what a brilliant game. No league can touch the quality and I don't think Newcastle will even finish Top 8 :unsure:

Assumin the OG top 6 finish there, who finishes 7/8/9/10
