Chaser

Are we hoping the crowd will fall asleep? Brighton don't seem to urgent to get it moving and we don't seem that bothered to take it off them. Atmosphere seems totally flat.

How Alan Smith still gets a gig on Sky beats me.

These are the biggest games on the biggest stage. I'm delighted we've got these top teams coming to Newcastle. Hopefully we will give a good account of ourselves, regardless of ANY result. 3 home wins though.

We can join them next round. Maybe not bleat on about it on TS though.

Someone can't count. (PL, not you Strawb)

I dare say the comments were a bit moot after last week's twitter spat. Still a lot criticising Eddie suggesting that he's not elite level as he doesn't make subs like Pep and Klopp. The kind of ludicrous comments you'd hear from fan accounts owned by Mackems and scousers.

I hope they enjoy their Thursday night games...

Yeah it's concerning that 2 defeats on the bounce hurts momentum. I'd agree that this is clearly the most frustrating result we've had since Eddie came in. The manner in which we threw it away against a lacklustre 10 men absolutely stinks.

Completely fucking ruined my weekend.

Turned it off. They've gone to sleep against 10

Carver sat next to Dummett

Probably needs time to understand the system.

He's been chasing kids for months

Twitter is a cesspit of opinions. There's a few nuggets of quality in there but by and large it's just arseholes making themselves and everyone else miserable. Be better if Musk just grenaded it.

Come on lads, get the basics right. Check their twitter name before being sucked in.

Professional foul. Bit of shirt tugging to slow play.

Yeah I did think that, just take her off to get an assessment.

Dont understand the hate for Grealish. Loves football and loves big titties. Plays like he's turning out on a Sunday morning. He gets a pass from me.

Don't think we disgraced ourselves at all. First half, we were nervous and didn't get any momentum. Their goal was a rare moment of falling asleep which you can't do against City. Thought we looked more positive and especially once we subbed Barnes and Anderson on. Longstaff did ok for me. Wilson offered a more direct threat, just a shame he chose to go the other way for his one on one..

Tino time

Foden is our main threat tonight, brilliant through the middle. Unbelievable player

We are in the game in the 2nd half against the European champions . We are doing ok.

Loads of time to sort it, think we've been cagey, but we've played well defensively bar the goal. Going forward we've been too afraid to lose it. I think there's a few out there just not getting into gear. Gordon has had glimpses but none of our play has been that threatening. City have been excellent with their press though.

We haven't really employed a press yet. We've let them have the ball but their press has been immediate and taken it straight back off us..
