Manchester City 1 Newcastle United 0 here at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening.
00:05
Julian Alvarez's first half strike, the difference between the two sides and same old story for
00:11
Newcastle in the respect that they've lost the 15th consecutive Premier League game here
00:15
at the Etihad. But the overriding feeling is one more of disappointment. A 1-0 defeat
00:21
a few years ago would have been seen almost like a positive because they've kept the goal
00:27
difference down. They haven't opened the floodgates for Man City as they have done so many times
00:31
here in the past. But we know based on what we saw tonight, Newcastle can be so much better
00:37
than that. Eddie Howe knows that they just didn't really lay a glove on Man City. They
00:41
had one shot on target, Harvey Barnes, 70th minute, easy save for Edison to make. And
00:47
they just weren't at the best. We saw them at the best against Aston Villa last weekend
00:52
and we just didn't really see that today. They were never out the game as such but they
00:57
were never really in the game until the closing stages where Man City, who played in Greece
01:03
in the Super Cup just a few days earlier, started to tire a little bit. A disappointing
01:10
day because Newcastle in the past would have just rolled over and they've come so far since
01:21
those days. The top four side now, Pep Guardiola was talking about how exceptional Newcastle
01:26
were and how tough opponents they were. But today, they just weren't quite there. There
01:35
wasn't quite that killer instinct that we saw against Villa last weekend. I thought
01:39
if you want positives to take, as little as the midfield covered the defence, I thought
01:45
oh, all the midfielders, probably Elliot Anderson who came on, didn't have the best games at
01:50
all. But I thought the defence, Sven Bolltman, Fabian Scheer, Kieran Trippier in particular
01:57
all had solid games. Erling Haaland was kept relatively quiet I'd say. He did have a few
02:02
good chances on another day, a more clinical Erling Haaland. Could have had a couple of
02:08
goals, even a hat-trick maybe. But he was kept just about at bay by Newcastle centre-backs.
02:16
All in all, we're coming away from that with a familiar feeling but almost an unusual one
02:21
where we're disappointed and we thought Newcastle could have gave more today. But it's only
02:28
the second game at the Ad Stadium, only one of the few places Newcastle lost that last
02:33
season so we'll move on quickly. Liverpool next week, the tough start doesn't get any
02:39
easier. But you wouldn't back against Newcastle, there was a lot of positivity going into this
02:46
game. Unfortunately it didn't transpire on the pitch but Eddie Howe said lots to learn
02:50
from today and lots to build on and hopefully we'll see that back at St James's Park next
