He City of Manchester He will no longer be able to win everything there is and has. Coincidentally, as was the case last season, the unwinnable title is definitely the Carabao Cup after falling in the third round against the Newcastle (1-0) in their first loss of the season.
He found himself grateful Pep Guardiola who made several changes to their starting eleven and clearly had an impact on the game. Only Akanji, Ake and Gvardiol returned to the regulars after the Catalan coach said he strongly disagreed with the calendar, which has caused so many injuries despite nothing and less competition.

But be careful, that can’t be an excuse because he did the same thing Eddie Howe. Among the unmoved, Poe, Tonali, Isak and Joelinton played, although the latter did not participate in the games due to an injury, so he was far from his best level.
I don’t know if it’s because of the new faces, or because the atmosphere in St. Jame’s Park, but the game of city It fell far short of expectations. They fulfilled the role of having control and pressure, although it was completely ineffective due to the lack of bite in the last meters. Few chances were saved for the team pep. A couple from Julián Álvarez in the first hour of the game was the highlight, although they didn’t have to force Pope either.
Furthermore, both of Newcastlewho perfectly planted himself on the green so as not to suffer and had the clear mission of crushing the transitions, did not come until the second half, but it could have been before the break if Ortega had not scored a save from a shot from to Murphy.
I want to find one Eddie Howe and it came. And that one, because the play was so good that even City themselves signed it. Newcastle played quickly, finding the explosive Joelinton who, after evading two rivals, dropped it until he found the goalkeeper at the far post. Isaacwhich with the help of Rico Lewis was not forgiven (53′).

A reaction was expected from the City bench, but Pep Guardiola He didn’t move anything until almost 70′, following his plan to rest the most important players. Even when he acted was to take a defender and win the attack, it was pointless.
Newcastle were left with no space to strike and without Haaland as a reference, Julián felt more tied down than in other games. Rico Lewis had the only clear chance to redeem himself in the 90th minute, but his shot missed the target and Manchester City had to watch the Carabao Cup on TV.
