Footie 29/9 - 1/10 **SPOILERS**

Finnan hasn't been picked in 2 PL games now, after being a regular for the last few seasons does anyone reckon Arbeloa is first choice right back in Rafa's mind now?
Looks like it. Isn't Arbeloa the only player not to have been rotated or something like that this year?
 
Still plenty of work to do big sam , man city's 2nd goal was a gift :mad: but that elano is a class act scored a great goal and his passing was fantastic , just a shame that after oba scored a great goal we couldnt get a result out of the game .
 
Man City played some of the best football I've seen in the premiership for a long time. Elano was just awesome today, every time he got the ball he opened up Newcastle. Mpenza was probably a bit of a weak link but even he looked classy at times.

Newcastle didn't even play that badly - City were just great. A thoroughly entertaining game actually, nearly had a couple of goalkeeping howlers as well! :D

I disagree, especially in the second half. We looked like the team we were under Roder and Souness.

Our passing was terrible, first touch control was non-existent and don't get me started on our final ball into the danger area.

We were half asleep at the back, their first two goals were gifts, there was no-one on the back post or marking the last man. It's just not acceptable in the Premiership.

We need to work on our set pieces because our cornering and free-kick crossing is rubbish, if it actually gets past the first defender then it goes straight to the keeper.

As Milngard says, Sam still has a lot of work to do and it was a shame that we couldn't hold onto the lead after getting the goal.

Elano's goal was different class, can't see anything beating that this season. It was absolutely perfectly placed, couldn't have been any more in the corner without grazing the bar or post, added to that it was about 70mph.

Great goal :)
 
Awesome first half from Liverpool. We're unlucky not to be in double figures. Kuyt has been amazing and our midfield is showing why they're the best in the world. Roll on the second half.
