Newcastle playing the ressies too so very winnable.

10 changes from the weekend, City only 8!

Sometimes I think a trip to St Breward, on the Moor, in his own car with 4 others, changing in a caravan and washing off in a horse trough, as I did in the 80s, would do wonders in building Pep's character

Sometimes you would think they are as delicate as China dolls, not young athletes at the peak of fitness, Pep over cooks the fatigue factor.

[Nigels Tackle]

commentators full of shite from the off

[nottsblue]

Two minutes in and they talk about the cost of the side. Like Newcastle are fielding a home grown side

[Sideshow Bob]

phillips is shit. end text.

[john@staustell]

I think a lot of people thought Foden would start. The midfield looks a little light.

One of those defenders is in midfield.

Lay your bets

Gomez...

So hands up who thought right wing?

[Nick]

Is this Danny Mills wanker?

[Indianablue]

Gomez showing us what he's got, and it ain't good enough. Phillips ditto. Be a long journey back tonight

[nottsblue]

Was half expecting Pep to name KDB on the bench just to mess with Howe’s head

[nottsblue]

Jackie a little rusty so far

only Pep

That said, early days but that cross in wasn't bad, nowhere as over hit when he crosses from the left....

[nottsblue]

Thought Bobb could have taken that on himself. Nice play though

[CTID Hants]

Jackie a little rusty so far

He isn't getting to the bye line like last season, i think he is under orders from Pep to cut in/pass....

Fookin shame really

[CTID Hants]

So much for cauldron St James, ours are in fine fettle and pretty much all i can hear on my feed.

[Indianablue]

oscar Bobb should have had a pop himself then instead he overhits his pass to the little Prince and it's a close miss, Phillips orchestrating things in the centre of midfield, we look as great as Leeds

He’s not a patch on Doku (from what we have seen of him, so far)he’s only good at holding the ball up and getting us free kicks .

There - I’ve said it !

[Indianablue]

Play to the fucking whistle!! Hate this compulsory stopping just because a player falls on his arse

[gmercer1]

Kovacic is such an intelligent footballer
