SMS Message: How has Newcastle still got 10 men on the pitch? Gordon should have gone and that should have been a straight red for Guimaraes. from Al, Heywood, via WhatsApp

Was there much difference between the tackle by Guimaraes that resulted in a yellow card and the one by Mac Allister that saw him given a red card?

Yes. Bruno’s was with more force and was far of a dangerous stamping action

City don’t need to extend themselves for this match. FIFY

Newcastle look gassed

It’s been really easy for Man City.

A Newcastle team at home will be a different prospect but I do think we can give them a game.

Newcastle tried to do pressing in the first 30-40 minutes. They were then routinely picked apart by City who strolled through the entire game. Howe is too tactically naive to pose any problems for Guardiola.

Might be a different game in SandJames though

No second yellow for Bruno G

Foden awarded Mammal of the Match. I don’t think it’s been so bad from Newcastle. They stayed in the match in H1 and put some pressure on City this half. Nothing’s come off, but they haven’t given City much either.

This is City minus Mahrez, Gündogan, KdB and Silva. Pep made no changes.

Howe got schooled.

City’s midfield does seem bereft of ideas though especially with KDB injured , Gundogan off , Mahrez gone.

Our problem will not be scoring.

It’ll be not conceding

Im glad the refs have been so inconsistent in games literally kicking off 5 hours apart plenty of ammunition for the club in terms of an appeal.

The pen and red card against Ream v Brentford is no different to what Martinez did to Romero today. It’s a mirror image.

Nope, Martinez blocked his path forcibly without getting anywhere near the ball. Watch them again. Big difference. The Brentford forward (Wisser) felt the hand on the shoulder and just fell over. Ream was desperately unlucky

I see the point you’re trying to make. Martinez challenge is a genuine penalty for me and Ream’s isn’t a penalty at all.

But they are not the same. Martinez is a foul, Team’s simply isn’t

No mention of the blatant thuggery by Newcastle all game coz you know Shearer on MoTD

Hope AV absolutely tonk the daylights out of Everton.

Taking Shanks advice on in a way and going for a walk instead of watching Everton :joy:

Nope. I’m looking forward to seeing them get slaughtered. Thanks for reminding that there’s an Everton match today people :smiley:

Probably win 1-0 it’s Dyche they won’t get slaughtered it’s going be painful 1-0 wins or losses throughout.
