00:00 See how we are outside at the Etihad Stadium when Ucassi United just lost 1-0 to Manchester City.

00:05 A disappointing evening for Ucassi United, certainly after the result against Aston Villa next week.

00:10 They came to the Etihad Stadium today hoping to take the game to Manchester City, but unfortunately they didn't do that.

00:17 Bought a 20 minute spell in the second half.

00:20 Ucassi really struggled to get a Manchester City defence.

00:24 First half really disappointing, midfield was overran I thought.

00:30 Joe Linton probably played one of his worst games in a Newcastle shirt under Eddie Howe.

00:35 Lost Julian Alvarez for the goal in the 31 minutes that came on.

00:39 City had chances to extend their lead, but I thought overall for what the game promised against two really top sides,

00:45 it was probably a bit of an uneventful one to be honest.

00:49 Second half, Newcastle did improve after the break. They had a 20 minute spell where Harvey Barnes came on,

00:56 Anthony Gordon came on, Eddie Anderson came on.

01:00 Injected a little bit of pace and energy, but really Newcastle never looked like scoring.

01:05 Which was a big disappointing thing from today because a lot of people, not just myself, came to the Etihad Stadium today

01:13 with the belief that Newcastle could actually get a result and that's the first time that's happened in a long time.

01:18 I'm coming here because Newcastle have had some hammerings at this stadium,

01:21 but I think maybe that belief coming into the game that Newcastle can't get a result shows how far the football club has openly come

01:28 in a very short space of time.

01:30 The 1-0 defeat here a few seasons ago would have been celebrated, but opening Newcastle leave here, disappointed.

01:38 But look, they've got a big opportunity to bounce back, the big games don't stop.

01:43 Liverpool next week, huge game at St James' Park, Liverpool beat Newcastle twice last season,

01:48 so they've had their numbers in recent seasons.

01:51 So it's time for Newcastle to maybe pay a little bit of revenge to Liverpool or give them a game and get a result.

01:58 I think the RG1, the atmosphere next week will be electric.

02:03 So, hoping Newcastle can bounce back and put this first defeat of the season swiftly behind them.
