FULL MATCH | Manchester City v Newcastle United | Quarter-final | Emirates FA Cup 2023-24

result against Wolves 2-1 down with 2 minutes left and end up winning in the 100th minute. The FA Cup is so special and Newcastle I'm sure will have looked at that and EDD how could I have mentioned everything possible. City's appetite for success. not easily satiated the prospect of a double Trev remains important, although Real Madrid, Newcastle Liverpool and Arsenal will have much to say about it, the traveling band will surely be heard in this great theater of football has a touch of theater Sometimes they sit and wait to be entertained, but usually they are fine. They are not De Brona or Edison, but they are formidable.

It remains the only description for this Manchester City lineup despite five changes from the Premier League decider with Liverpool last week. Diaz dku Kovic control In midfield, Mario continues to recover from an ankle ligament injury starting at left back and Stephan Ora continues as cup goalkeeper in goal. Jack Greish returns to the bench after injury. Anthony Gordon's name is a welcome sight in the Newcastle squad after he left the On Monday morning at Stanford Bridge he had knee pain, but after two days of training he is 100% fit, according to Eddie, but Today it looks like a different role for England's latest squad as they look to switch to a three-man central defense with the cells coming together.

Botman and Sher there, it seems likely that Jacob Murphy will operate at

back for the team for today to get a chance to take the field. Team L, well it's a pleasure to see football so often here at the EAD Stadium, some indelible moments, some great memories. And well, it's hard to win a treble, it's even harder to retain it, but surprisingly, as we approach the international break in March, that's still a realistic prospect, yes, and it has to be said that it's a phenomenal achievement to still be in this situation at this stage. of the season, having done what they did last time with the opportunity to touch the Wembley distance again, the semi-

final

at Wembley, I think they have to believe that it is possible once again, this man Foden, I think he has been in such a sensational way, but many things depend. on him as we approach the end of the season, well flourished in a variety of positions, he has already achieved the best goal return of his career this season, minus a captain for Newcastle, although perhaps with a vital role to play the role of Jamal·lel as a central three.

On defence, we think he will be welcomed back and you have Eran Harand who you have to deal with over the years. I think there will be a physical battle between him and Harland. It will really be fascinating how Newcastle hold off the threat from Manchester City. Simon Hooper has the privilege of presiding over this FA Cup sixth round tie. The stage is beauti

y decorated. Fans from all over are wondering who their favorite player is probably. Oscar Bob. Yes, and they sing that Anem New Blue Moon. Well, the elimination round is. Probably somewhere else in Manchester tomorrow, but this could well usurp it.

Newcastle have been starving for genuine success for so long. This will bring back memories for those who have long memories of their last domestic triumph back in 1955 against Manchester City at Wembley in the FA City Cup. The trophies keep coming. Can they maintain control of the FA Cup and reach a record six semi-

final

s in a row? Dku setting the tone but without losing sight of the ball Jamal LEL yes and, interestingly, LEL holder of the three defenders of Central Newcastle botman sha and lels on the right side of the three that was a question mark on how they would operate, have passed almost two years since they last faced five defenders in a game and a loss to Chelsea in 2022.

I think it will be for Murphy to clash early with dku and botman will be almost a left back, go and pick up K Walker while attack forward or silver if you start on that right side, but as we know, Manchester City are very fluid in terms of positions and where. In fact, they appear on the field at certain times SS conceding a free kick in City territory. Well, how will De Broner be missed? Since he was sensational in that last round against Lon by providing four assists for the five goals that Harand scored. It's Bernardo Silva with Walker out and relatively comfortable for Sven Botman, you can already see Silva will come in off the line.

Cole Walker almost starts at right winger for City high up on that right side, perhaps Gordon is going to operate a little deeper than we might have done. Anticipated has operated as a center forward or false nine if you like in Newcastle's regular 433, he won't get a chance there due to Gard's intervention and the flag against him anyway, yes he started well, a cow that is interesting, but that will allow Walker. To advance on the right for City, De Bruy Up is always missed in this

city

. No matter how successful he is, they are always a better team when he is there, so the groin injury is the problem, interestingly, a high pressure from Newcastle right at the start, a lot of black and white shirts in that City half pressing of a different kind by Botman produces uh free kick from Manchester City for Earling Harland yes, the first in a series of confrontations, I'm sure with those three defenders for Botman from Newcastle knowing that he can't allow Harand to turn behind him grabs him by the chest, well, the three of them will have to be prepared for a significant physical battle.

Yes, I must say I thought he was sensational in the role he played, not just the goals he scored against Luton. He thought he was physically powerful, runs smart, he covered center half Mingi on several occasions and then cut through him behind the Luton defense to get to Exquisito de Bruyer's passes. I must say it was a literally unplayable night, it's a brave start from Newcastle very high pressure well, maybe it's a night to be bold, tonight is not their season because they still have a chance to claim a place European through the league, but there is absolutely no doubt that it is at least a The key game is an opportunity to be seized and they are taking it in that spirit in which they possibly can.

Well, Diaz will tell you he had it all under control, but it certainly would have given those watching some jitters, yes, and in the end a really important interception, a wonderful ball into the ISAC run, you have to say an aggressive start with Newcastle's front foot, he's just acknowledging that the pass there, as you can see, could well have been offside if he'd come in on the pass, he's got it tid like City's turn to have a great pace at the start of this game, both They go in with the right spirit and Isach will give Chase away, but Aangi is in control of the situation and I think that's what worries them a little.

Newcastle, they break the play. get up and quickly play the ball forward, try to find your double attack: Sack and Gordon, when they first take possession of the ball, have to look forward and even play longer forward just to try to play City, where they are disruptive, uh. interrupted in the form of his defender Bernardo Silva Walker always ready, oh, trying to find Harand, a slight deviation from the burn in that left-back position, this is the tenth time these two have been paired in the FA Cup and , uh, it might surprise you, but Newcastle have been victorious six times in the previous nine this is Haren left it lels gave foden the chance to pick up well an unusually poor pass from Rod there on this occasion harand trying to cut that ball through of the six yard box for the foden that arrives, who comes from a slightly deeper position, it is always difficult to understand it.

He loves competition. I'm sure it is. I'm not sure who he supports. I'm not sure if he's supposed to be here. That could be the reason. this is gardial dku rre with the ball incisive foden with some lovely work but murphy who has a key defensive job tonight is doing enough and he does it brilliantly because he reads Run of dku's fabulous pass at the feet of Foden on the turn, receives it and slides it. the Run of dku who is on his side, but Murphy follows him well and simply moves him away from the ball.

That's some brilliant defensive work from Murphy in that Wembley-born right-back position. The Murphy twins are still the towers in those days. There is a lot of potential here for Isach. potential extinguished by aangi, yes, I quickly committed to isack's work, the ball well left on the left side, Newcastle, here is dku, clear and present danger, Newcastle committed a lot of bodies in front of the ball, we will not pay a price for it On that occasion, oh, brilliant. botman long leg oh and isach just checked out his running game by sweeping from one end to the other very fast and furious, he starts moaning with his first real cameo, but that will be a worrying sight, yes, his right ankle, as you can see, may be caught in that Newcastle counterattack.

The

city

was developing, they go three against three against two here Harand left fodm right and a long leg stuck out by botman so important to deny doku feed Phil foden on that right side every contribution of that nature could be critical Bel guard a great admirer of the contribution Kovic can make to help Manchester City control Dan's games. I definitely think he saw something there, the way he was orchestrating Kofe and what he was looking for in order for him to produce the output. Burns did well, just having to follow kle. Walker is getting really high in that regard.

Manchester City's left side talks about the two Newcastle full backs Murphy on the right, burns on the left, they are already very good

match

ups, they will probably make three against one, they only have a small chance, although the odds are still against cardio. I do. I think he has been the first option for Pep Guarda in that left-back position for City. Vardal was lost with an ankle for a few weeks. Dku Roing Commission. You see Vardal at the bottom of the screen, high up in the left-back position, trying to cover. that far post, if something comes this way, Rodri looks for Vardal to have a bit of space to operate Inside Kovic, Rodri and Burn were following Walker to Kovic, yes, a bit of establishing a pattern in the game, now controls possession of City, Newcastle's M ranks. across the 18 yard area Berardo Silva trying to find a bit of space and found a bit of luck and it could also have been a double deflection, well he had too much space, Bernardo Silva and was allowed to just walk into the area 18 yards and it's a right-footed shot that deflects badly.

De bra has absolutely no chance in that Newcastle goal, but they will be really disappointed that they haven't dealt with him outside the box and before. Because as soon as he picks it up, he has about eight yards to walk to the 18-yard box. You can see the line at the eight, the defensive line at the 18-yard line, but he looks at the space he has and then burns the backs. They are too slow to attack and hit the back of the hill and up and up. There is absolutely no chance for the Newcastle goalkeeper, but for me they haven't come on quick enough to stop Bernardo Silva from shooting. the moment they will use it to devastating effect VI but a great goal and the headlines are where they want to be if Bernardo Silva is finally the name that appears in the record books against it will be like I think it's an own goal, really It's a hit, obviously on goal, but the Burn deflection was unfortunate for Eddie, how and his team, the way they started the game in the first 10 minutes, I think it was really brilliant and a real disappointment to be behind like that.

Well, he spoke after the game at Chelsea. on Monday night about the first effort on goal about the goal almost comes in isolated circumstances a mistake almost coming out of nowhere costs them and to a measure that is reduced to one it is not reduced to a defensive era, yes simply because they gave it Bernardo Sila had too much time to enter the 18-yard area and take the shot. Harand didn't have a lot of space using Kovic and Harand will get there but he didn't have enough and so being able to grab it with gratitude yeah a smart pass from Kovic lifting him over the top and trying to get Bear down and I think he gave him a left boot, but in the end the breka manages to grab the loose ball well, what is the effect?

What we are going to have in Newcastle we have also seen a couple of times where Newcastle press high and Ora is prepared to go straight and long towards Harland as a focal point and as a centre-forward, so you can see this clever little move from Kovic that is sideways. he just touches it with the outside of his left boot, Harland does, but he can't get around the advancing Duva Murphy, who has taken an awkward leap and almost falls under him. I have to say it was almost a glorious moment for the substitute goalkeeper foul on Harland but the game will continue yes strong sh I challenge Harland this is dku kovic yes Holland are up even though they are simply going backwardsasking referee Simon Hooper if it should have been a yellow card brandished at Sher for presumably The Challenge on Harland, yes this challenge is late from the back you can see.

I think he plays the ball and that's exactly what he's aiming for. I think he does. I think it's a bit unfortunate to get a yellow card because of that feeling of letting the game continue with good refereeing, although Sher won't see it that way, ultimately it's not a good advantage, but I think the unfortunate EDD Al would feel that too because he certainly passed by Holland's side, but he played the ball well for me. Do you inevitably think he'll have his big moment in front of Go? Oh, there's no doubt he'll get a chance or two.

Five goals at Luton. He is not the first Manchester City player to go goal-crazy in the kennel with Road in the FA Cup. but he was a little luckier than the last one: the great Dennis Law once scored six goals in an FA Cup

match

at Luton, but ended up on the losing side because the match was winning 6-2. Abandoned with 20 minutes left The end, they lost the rearranged match, so count 06 is not in the record books. I'm afraid not. Frustrated Newcastle thought they should have had a corner there again in the picture and every club gets injured, but Newcastle "A team that has been hit particularly hard this year and even tonight, I mean, it's the case with every team in this stage of the season, people will take hits, but there are some who in almost any other circumstance would.

I won't be playing, yeah, and I think it's really a test of how deep your team's ISO is. Move forward quickly hoping to escape right on the edge there with Ruben Diaz towards Murphy, some momentum here for Newcastle's long staff forcing a corner well. clever free kick from gimash. I'm sure there was an understanding with isack. He type free kicks just inside the City half, leaves it, plays it quickly and almost behind Diaz, so the first corner of the game goes to Newcastle, who do themselves proud. in their work from set pieces, yes I think they pose a threat, certainly in the corners, a real aerial threat to the back post, this time they burn in the hope of winning back the seconds, but Simon Hooper's attention was focused on an offside heading backwards from so far away.

The post area offside in the area just outside that sixty box has had some success with some creative work in dead ball situations this season Newcastle Jason Tindle Eddie, the long-time assistant looks after of defensive plays as ideas from anywhere, really for the attackers, although Tendle has a strong hand in all that ball out of play well 20 minutes of play just slowing down a bit after what was a frantic start some fortune on the way Manchester City took the lead but you can't see any change in Newcastle's bold and brave approach pressing Alto, forcing Nota to go long towards dku and Harland, this is kovic Walker flying forward and share and I think foden was the target again there was just a slight deviation on the way ok for bman burn forward isach oh almost broke the challenge and was looking to feed that ball into Gordon's run Gordon chipped a chance pass had enough legs for OTA to intervene successfully good work there by Phil foden that's the other side oh yeah amazing the way when they hand over possession how quickly they try to get it back Manchester City sometimes it's a skill that goes by the wayside overhead, dku infield vardal can again be seen rising on the left side of the right wing, as Peppa described him playing more as an inside forward at the moment, well, one up, City are taking control of possession quite happy to moving the ball up the field trying to stretch the Newcastle defense berardo Silva driving again finding rodri this is Walker oh just taking control of the game with his possession controlled possession awkward ball for kovic there although the long staff does well to recover possession for Newcastle, they have to take advantage of these opportunities and make a penetrating pass once again, yes, two passes from the cut that were just a fraction of the first, one intercepted by Guardio and the second, just Willer, coming out on the left side , couldn't get in. but you have Murphy here, well the idea is correct for Murphy firing that ball behind the City defense with esack approaching the goal.

The city sense just pulls the accelerator in response as foden finds doku, yes, sometimes they go past this possession-based walking game. so explosive against Bernardo Sil foden of aangi and gardol Walker bodden W savage of foden, which I don't think will please his manager, he is a collector's item, well, here is the goal that Silva gave him. I think there is too much time and space to delve into that Newcastle. Penalty box and then, when Burns takes one leg out of his heel and goes up and over, the desperate braco can't do anything about it, but in his own goal, the change in the direction of the ball is hugely significant, isn't it?

Murphy with a desperate lunge too? As the old cliché goes, at first he thought he might have touched his toe too, but he definitely got burned. Gordon chasing Diaz intervened on that occasion. This is a fast dku, but that's one way to stop him and he will come. a cost that Jamal Theels will also go into the book, yes I just felt I had to do it because suddenly the documentary broke the lines running towards the Newcastle defence, the next option is the pass for Harland and you can see the Lel's desperation with his hand around his neck pulls him back yellow card two of the three central defenders now for Newcastle with a yellow card there is a long way to go also the second chance from a set piece is quickly on the heels in the first yes, decent crease and ball because that's in Behind that new Newcastle defense backing up towards their goal they can't let it go, they have to make contact and concede a corner.

Holland gets up well without scoring, Harand, always dangerous, with a powerful head, the cell gets in the way of the set-piece work with such a devastating effect for them. At Anfield, a different variation this time, you can see Simon Hooper there talking to V, you just see, just communicating with the boys at Stockle, it's Thomas Bramel and Jared Gillet, along with Neil Davis, who provide the extra pairs of eyes , who has been effective on the field. how wide in this first half hour, get Sens to enjoy it, this is a foden sh block capable of deflecting the shot, but the barrel is a little kinder this time for Newcastle vardal kovic, we can see that the space is wide at the sides of the 18. yd box the black and white shirts trying to block it has a long shot again berardo Silva is there another deviation?

I think it could very well be the way Brad dives and the ball goes inside him. He is furious, well, the old man. saying that if you don't buy a ticket he's certainly soliciting Bernardo Silva tonight oh the DEA was furious and I think this time it turned out well for Botman, just at the moment when he dives to the right and the ball actually goes inside him, another shot from Bernardo Silva. Again watch the space, they don't attack fast enough and yet just the slightest touch from Botman as a left footed strike this time deflects inside the goalkeeper two own goals Manchester City 2-0 good when you're lucky in and Newcastle is not Bernardo silvas is certainly fine he is not in a hattick although he is in a hattick he will be claiming both but two deviations first of burn second of botman Manchester City the cup holders in a really strong position after half an hour here in these

quarter

-finals the last time the two teams met in the FA Cup was a 2-n win for Manchester City James parked four years ago it's a long way for Newcastle from this situation two new up The city you imagine Now you will control the pace of the game as much as you can.

Those who have read their history books will know that Newcastle once came back from two points down to win an FA Cup tie at Main Road in the 1990s. They won 54 on that occasion and Bob Stoko scored an own goal, The future Sundland manager won the FA Cup memorably in 1973, but I have to say Newcastle are in such bad form, I think it's 15 defeats in 16 games and it's going to be a huge task. Now, to change this I was actually down 3-0 on that occasion a long time ago and I know I would be calling them because there would be two shots or I would feel two attempted shots on target, but I have to do it.

Let's say that the two deflections played an important role in the ball ending up in the back of the net. I'd have to call them own goals. I think we figured out where the line is drawn. A deflected shot on goal for me should be the striker's goal I'm not sure, the first was when Burn deflected it, the second could well have been on target and Botman's touch sent the goalkeeper in the wrong direction but I must Also say two bad defensive mistakes from Newcastle for me, no. Interacting quickly enough with Sila allowing him to come in from outside the area to fire those shots also can't say they weren't warned in the second and what's so difficult for Newcastle now is when Manchester City keep the ball.

In this way, although you are trying to close, you are doing 5 10-yard runs to try to pressure the ball, they control it, they move it, it is very difficult and exhausting, in addition, it burns very well forward, now Murphy prevails and Isach. great opportunity for isach sweeping the volley with his left foot is a good save from OTA towards his left side very strong hand actually came from a careless pass from Ora which gave Newcastle possession and that esack man knows it's the best chance that Newcastle had in depth the center is burning he gestures to isek at the penalty spot it's a decent shot but it's a very strong left-footed save from Orga well, the only moment that will relive the whole night is a great chance, best chance for Newcastle first shot on goal hope to capitalize on this very high free kick City Line hary just asking too much of Bernardo Silva yes, puff of Bernardo Silva's cheeks I think isack knows it's a great moment for him and for Newcastle Burns stays forward and it's a good header towards the penalty spot, volley with his left foot.

I'm not so sure OTA saw much of that with Diaz in front of him, it's a good save in the context of the Cup tie, a crucial one, dku, oh, he's floundering. in the central role, yes, and he's been very elusive, he's collecting the ball, he's running at the Newcastle defence, they find it very, very difficult to get anyone to mark him, he feeds the ball, he demands it in that pocket and then jump. I overcame a couple of challenges before shooting high and wide. I don't remember him playing that position this season. Well, it's not an unusual story in terms of possession at any point.

Almost double the ball possession for Manchester City, that's not surprising here. At home they can at least take some solace in the fact that they have proven that they can create a threat with that limited amount. I guess it's very easy, if you look at the shape of the goals they have conceded, heads drop and you think even more. More than half the game and possibly more if it's played to the end regardless of tonight, but it just won't be a day, yeah, especially when it happens twice. I think, disappointingly, they would have felt like they started the game on the front foot.

I've caused Manchester City one or two little problems, but the way they defended those two situations and Bernardo Silva was allowed those goals, they will be really disappointed going into half-time if things continue like this. Kovic pleases with the long staff. stop him from reaching Harland Murphy's striker by lassel rodri this is Walker well as the game progresses you will see how influential rodri and kovic are on the two midfield players that would make City tick from that position oh beautiful skill on Phil Foden's part well, GIS does very well to track Phil Foden. The touch was initially quite brilliant on the turnaround, the way he drags the ball forward to run towards the goal.

The pass is sensational, but Garez tracks it back and does just enough. to dissuade him, but look at this with his back to the goal, he heals him, sha gimes is really sharp and aware to track him down and deny him a clear shot on goal, even Pep Guardiola was extolling the virtues of Bruno Gim in the build-up to the game. it was invaluable defensive work on his part a third goal before half time that can still come is harand looking to progress Jeremy dku another deflection this time he takes it behind yes from lel, a great touch from the Newcastle captain from Harland and then when foden he returns it to Harland he is aware that dcu's run jumps in towards his favorite right foot and it is LEL who sticks out his right leg to make the block and the deflection this time goes for a corner kick that goes down the throat of deka was a success in aset piece that secured victory at Tottenham in the fourth round when we saw a slightly different team to Manchester City, yes we certainly did.

I was at that game and the way City quashed the false threat that night was something I hadn't seen before. At Manest City they did the job and that is why they are here, that is why they are looking at the opportunity of a semi-final. City central has already claimed its place, don't go there, don't go there, please, I know the latest. The first time they were in a semi-final and I know what happened in the final, they again fell in the near post area, but once again they didn't, then it's the magic of the FA Cup 2-1 down in the 88th minute and they won in the 100th Minute Centry City today against Wolverhampton It is incredible that Wembley lost for the second year in a row in such agonizing fashion in the playoff final against Luton and that they can still be in the playoffs again this year, although Norwich and Hull seem in this moment strongest contenders for that sixth. place in England's second division oh, the championship is fantastically competitive, but Mark Robbins has done a magnificent job of taking it to the semi-final. his six yard box quickly dku with his Pace again, he's behind lels and that's a good block from Deka, so approaching the end of the first half where City enjoyed a bit of Fortune has also been the controlling force in the game is foden's. delivery looking for Harland once again and Diaz is there but also dka and Newcastle are still alive, yes Diaz and vardo there as Harland again unmarked at the back post returns to the six box for a minimum of two extra minutes, nothing without a prize like Bruno.

Gim felt on Jeremy D's challenge, yes, he felt there were a couple of infractions before he fell and touched the ball. This is Holland's chance to cross the field again. right in front of Vardal and Breut Smart save the good Manchester United for a SPO, we must not forget Martin Deka, which meant that he could not participate in the Cup final of last season's League for Newcastle, cut the game tied in Bruno Gimmer's gallery there. at 9th of 8,000 Newcastle fans, the pocket staff chose to play with a foot problem at the time City slipped and almost gave Newcastle a chance, there was a bad Highland Pass and then suddenly the walkers They fixed it and counterattacked again.

City, this is dku in motion. on Kovic's return she has been brilliant in this first half she has really neutralized her threat at least briefly left foot trampled by Sha there she draws the referee's attention a little anxious the silence descends or is it simply that many have left halftime refreshment well , no, I think there would always be alarm when Harand appears to be injured, but a wonderful first half from Manchester City led by this man, Bernardo Sil, with two hits swung the lead from two to zero, yes, Dan Burn and the subsequent misfortune of Sven Botman leaving.

Martin duka, with no hope of keeping either guy firmly in the starting lineup, with Newcastle's prospects of a trophy this season rapidly disappearing here, is a phrase we've repeated for the last 50-odd years, but this is his chance. I have to find a way in the next 45 minutes, yes, and I'm just looking at the options open to Eddie. Off the bench, Al Maron is obviously the one who could impact this Newcastle team. I wonder how long it will be before he starts doing it. make some changes just see if he can change the course of this game by opting to go with five defensemen and the bench solo position probably really to accommodate the presence of Jacob Murphy on the right side of that defensive unit, yes there is a point in the game where you just have to take a lot of risks, especially in the beginning.

Wonder Amon who works tirelessly on that right side is probably more attacking than Murphy, he has played as a right back at various points in the past, he is expected to be closer to That Gentleman Jeremy dku yes, but the positions dku took in that first half more in the center of the field causing Newcastle all sorts of problems Newcastle conceding possession their very loud visiting contingent is gathered behind the goal they are defending the atmosphere has changed a bit on the tin side, a lot of criticism around the team and the coaching staff at this time dku oh beautiful piece of play and dka there to deny it but a brilliant combination between dku and foden wonderful pass d playing the new one after the pass returned brilliantly by foden and then the cross shot brilliantly deflected to Duka well when he had the chance he did his job tonight the Newcastle goalkeeper did have no chance with the goals he made a couple of really important saves to keep Newcastle's faint hopes alive dku on foden again kovic vardal The problem now for Newcastle is how to recover the ball.

City will keep throwing it, they won't force it, they don't need to force it at the end, they just take you out of your position and expose any weaknesses you have. could leave kovic on the defensive for sitting rodri ktic again, well here they go, ktic rodri just masters the entire pace of the game at this stage, all in his own time, yeah, without any rush to force it. Bernardo Silva doku on the other side they are taking. Willet moved to the right side for the first time, giving Newcastle some relief. Well, in a cameo, he scored a goal in the FA Cup against Huttersfield, the first hurdle for Pep's team for negotiators looking to retain the FA Cup.

I think you're looking at Pep Gado who seems reasonably relaxed, his body language looks comfortable with the situation his team finds them in Eddie, on the other hand he looks a little tense and a little stressed, how do they open up? way back to this FA? The Soden Cup tie brings Guardal to Kovic as the Croatians reach four, but they have just beaten Kyle Walker, who will always get there as fast as he can, exceptionally fast. K Walker isn't sure he's that happy. It wasn't an enthusiastic reaction, they probably blew it. in his youth as a supporter until now absolutely Murphy showed some ambition here guard Ordering yes, good defensive work tenacious guard to win the ball back and keep possession there saw signs of this in the first minutes City comfortably left the field pressure situation, this is Harland Harland's hunger, oh and we thought it was going to be another moment to treasure, as soon as he opens up with that favored left foot, he was only expected to curl it towards the bottom corner, it actually came from a slight Ora's mistake in his own Penalty Box but City played and Harand only had one thing on his mind driving sha wide and trying to get him into the bottom corner at the end, it's just a fraction away but how quick to go from one end to the other other from the field there is always a question about the team that comes here, isn't there?

I mean, do you go and pressure them? Yeah well it's always a risk because you know City are more than capable of playing from their own Penalty Box to your Penalty Box very quickly and efficiently you have to be very strong collectively and together to go and put pressure on City High Gordon oh en problems Bruno moan this is rodri bman eyes on the ball yes and rodri is doing well intercepts quickly and advances bman in the end denies it Crossing Harland's path I feel that a third goal now would close this FA Cup tie for Manchester City graa gets there keeping things moving and will get it back here murphy defending it, aangi got the move, he didn't leave convincingly and gladio swung.

Ricochet got out of control. In reality, it is another Silver Cross that veers off and enters the danger area. Look at this and in the danger area they don't clear their lines particularly well. here and Guardio's shot blocked by lels I think it's on its way, yes it is and a Newcastle Captain deflects it well, the couple of different actions by the Newcastle Captain ended safely or landed safely from the perspective of Newcastle, some tenacity from Murphy. but anyway offside against foden, we said in one of those sloppy moments at the start of the season that if things didn't go well and they had a challenging first set of matches, the tone was set early, then he was worried that the additional expectations after their achievements last year didn't live up to them, there could be a bit of toxicity in the air, unfortunately well it will now all be in the Premier League pot to see where they can finish if they can. to qualify for Europe once again at the end of the season, it won't be the Champions League of European football, you must feel that the expectation would be to be in Europe at the end of the season for Newcastle United, well can they create an opportunity here? isach maybe a chance for big Dan burned the opportunity to shoot and missed it was burned in the same way Ball is relaxed I feel like he is there to be hit he chooses to pass and the opportunity is missed isack can be seen in aangi's shoulder then at the end he is trying to find the shooting angle but in the end he throws it, it's a beautiful set for B for Dan Burns to hit for the first time, his frustration so he fouls the base for balls.

C, an FA Cup goalscorer this season in fact. A couple of goals against his former club Fulham during this campaign. Missed opportunity because Harland was caught offside. Obviously there were a couple of Esac volleys in the first half, but opportunities to shoot and hit again in these conditions, you already saw what happened with Bernardo Silva's two shots deflected into the back of the net. I think Burn should be brave enough to take that on. You may know that you can usually rely on the elements in Manchester to produce a bit of autonomy over the course of any given day.

It's actually a particularly cold morning in the northwest of England. Well, coming to the time, the substitutes, the warm-up is enough. secured there and there might be a feeling in Newcastle's mind that there is potentially a bit more joy there for them with Ederson not able to participate, yes, but okay, stop from uh, uh, the free kick in the first half of OA, well, yes, they used to. These are the things we talk about about goalkeepers making saves, yes, instead of playing as sweepers and giving away possession with a bad pass, and just by looking at the two benches you can see that luxury, I would say that Pep Guardiola has stones and a Gish Alvarez, Oscar Bob, who scored the winning goal in the league game, could come in and young Rico Lewis, while I'm not so sure Eddie on the bench can impact the game as dramatically as to turn this FA Cup tie around.

I would say that while he has an embarrassment of riches and you will include Matas Nunes, who is the fastest player, apparently at Manchester City, we see Miguel Aliron warming up there. Newcastle don't have an absolute leader really available to them on the bench and dku making the most impact or the most opportunities inside the Newcastle penalty area to get on the ball yeah I think he's been very bright and lively in that position in the one who played with the ball again tonight, probably not where we expect to play wide on the left. against Murphy has come onto the pitch and caused real problems for those three Newcastle central defenders, oh beautiful B.

One play where Rubén Díaz got involved, dku kovic dominated possession and controlled the game. Manchester City Walker and DEA get there needing the second B for Cherry, but it's a Crucial intervention from the goalkeeper Yes, he just does enough all the way from the cross, he gets fingered but then claims it. Gordon fouled. Yes. Caught by Rodri Walker. He just tries to hold this cross to the far post for Harland at the end. he does well to grab it after the fingertips here he has to dive at full length to deny rodri well he had to come not once but twice well here we go a quadruple change for Newcastle United Anthony Gordon the first out and Aliron the first to arrive on SO Lewis Hall replacing Dan Burn on the left side, also game over for Sha Longstaff who is currently nursing a foot injury.

Leis Miley, Newcastle's big star this season, the player they should be careful with at his tender age. The talent is prodigious, well, without a doubt, Eddie, how he feels that he needs those fresh legs introduced, he will come in from the left side. LS Hall will be the left back, but he will be more offensive. Heading B by rodri Anderson Miley almeron and Hall on Burn longstaff willik Gordon and Gordon, I mean. uh we're helping each other there, it's a welcome development for trainers who love the fact that they can make five changes, but I suspect the common food fraternity and they're not so enthused about it, well, it's fallen by the wayside from Harland, yes, Foland, just pinching.

The ball Harand attacks the Newcastle defense and crosses to make the block. He is the one who is dispossessed. Harland is on him quickly backing up but just making sure he blocks well. His appetite is not yet satisfied. I'm not sure that's the case. Even if I had one, but it's Harand who picks it up, it's Kovic Rodri, Bernardo Silva, now Lewis Hall, thatIt could be a very good ball, in fact, with a bit of freshness, yes, but the problem now is that there are so many black and white jerseys at the top. On the field, the city plays through you, suddenly, on the defensive, you can be exposed, well, it's really a situation that you just have to live with if you want to get something out of this occasion other than harsh lessons, yeah , the next target has to be Newcastle if they have any hope Walker great urgency from Bruno Gimes this is Aliron has options opportunity for isaach forced wider than he would have liked oh that's a great opportunity for Newcastle United brilliantly brilliantly W look ahead back to the three players surrounding Silva alron comes out With the ball supported by Immer on the left, he wants it to find Isack.

He misses the check and almost misses the opportunity, then Ki just defends him well and knows it's so frustrating what opportunity he recognizes the pass that he caught but failed to deflect the shot. down but delivery could help and bman came in well there has been a response since Newcastle's quadral replacement at Manchester MC many of those who can still find their voice traveled south from tside and if there is to be a repeat of their efl cup triumph this season we are in for a very special final

quarter

it is going to be a miracle the numbers and precision of Newcastle are well below the standard set by the treble winners foden yes, totally dominant in that sense the efficiency City's passing is absolutely excellent for by Murphy isach shot a little more on that occasion aliron Miley imares trying to drive them on this is Anderson more energy to apply that pressure but harand stalking his prey berardo Silva Walker the four substitutions have given to I need a little energy, but once City get back in possession you can understand well, there's really no need to take too many risks, we'll just slow down the pace of the game to the pace they want Berardo Silva Walker dku almost rest with the ball D is quite brilliant, they have possession of the ball but they play at their own pace they play with the tempo they want almost everyone breathes while they have possession of the ball it is fabulous to see great control of the game kovic is a kind of starting signal for dku there foden dku kovic will he be tempted? no it is not necessary to just keep the ball 20 25 passes and this spell is a possession for City foden Walker, well this is dizzying and exhausting for Newcastle, it is also demoralizing because even if you go and try to press the ball when they move it, he move away, you're almost reluctant to go after him a second time, rodri, there they are. rodri ktic just gets them going and a sloppy fod and PASS gives it away but look how quick they are to try and get it back, it was kind of a fight ball for botman, good work there and it's a chance for Murphy to move forward. alaron making an angle for him Anderson wants him to take advantage of it well, he has the support of Lewis finding that mury could still enter from behind.

I think there was a feeling that Miley couldn't have touched that ball because it went offside, yes, they work the ball for Gim, he is trying to feed it into the corner behind Vardal, at the end, the goal kick, Given that it's a difficult position to try to overturn a 2n deficit against last season's treble winners, the FA Cup winners take it. a bit weak but no harm done by exceeding expectations, they have created additional expectations Eddie, how Jason Tindle, Greme Jones and the entire Newcastle coaching staff, cannot, as they would see him unleash the full power of the bulging wallet, yes, restricted on that.

To what extent and, as you say, expectations are inflated having qualified for the Champions League this season, the proof that that brings is the proof that it brings to regaining the form that you had in the Premier League last season. Interesting moments for different reasons to last year for Newcastle. here is Bernardo Silva, he will be eliminated by Fabián Sher and the battle between Hall and Anderson and Anderson has started everything but that is because he was offside, they had a little freedom, yes, a couple of yards offside, now a quite admirable record in in the FA Cup, but he did not score a goal in six per minute in the FA Cup competition, in fact, without a goal, while in the competition viol foden had the freedom of the city, yes, he frustrated to Phil Foden because Ral on the left side couldn't find him.

Isach ensures the foul pull of the shirt well, he has been a willing runner Isack from the touchline jumps in and cani and removes his shirt the free kick well, this opens the door of the fraction just a ray of light here for Newcastle Manchester City will make A change shortly leaving it for Bruno Gimar and Haren, who is a useful player to have in your own Penalty Box capable of defending him and a very good game from Kyle Walker. Yes, he is designated to defend those near-post areas that attack Holland and he does. a very good job there for City is epitomized by Carl Walker Harand now picking it up from his goalkeeper the confidence that exudes from this Manchester City team we got it back from Kovic here able to contain Sh oh, has he crushed Sher or did it look like he passed running alongside him Sher hit the deck that was a finger in the eye just what you need on a wet night so the change is coming Oscar Bob will replace Jeremy dku I think he's had a good night dku on a different front he's been very lively and cash for Manchester City2 Well, the Newcastle contingent won't be particularly grateful to see him, yes, after a wonderful goal he scored in the league match, Bright De Broy, a pass, some sensational footwork from Oscar Bob to score the winning goal against Newcastle in the league that at St.

James's part marked the return to Premier League action for Kevin Deona after a season cut short by injury. A pass that only he could have made. A sensational pass but finished brilliantly by young Oscar Bob. Thriving in exalted company, he benefited from a huge detour in the third round against Huddersfield. Oscar Bob, in the end, there is a real Canter against a team with a tremendous history, but a team currently struggling at the bottom of England's second division, has been all Premier League opposition since then, there is a chance that it could There will be more championship opposition on the way. means we can talk about centre-back Leicester too in round 6 action tomorrow at Chelsea oh yes the championship are giving a good account of themselves obviously the sensational result of the shout to take them to the Leester semi-finals with the chance of May IT bring back a few good memories for Foxes fans tomorrow and you never know what the draw will be like if it's Manchester United or Liverpool against Manchester City Central or possibly Leicester in the other semi-final they will feel like they have the chance to go to Wembley for the second time for a final Elliot Anderson, yes, c rodri, well, certainly the only thing Pep Guardiola would want now is for one of his players to get injured with the idea that they are about to face Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, a run for the Premier League as Good, but the treble is still in the next two home games in the Premier League against Arsenal and Aston Villa.

Bob steals that hope, if he gets it back, things will go well for him in the end. Concern identified the match at Stanford Bridge with a wonder goal on Monday night. which in the end was nothing more than a lovely consolation: his brother played for Oxford the following night and they were 5-0 down, so it's been a mixed week for the family who have Newcastle in their blood despite from its origins in London. family roots on the IT side this is Bob this is the real control of Manchester City Harland Bob Harland can choose his path or make his way well it's brilliant the path from almost at walking pace increase the pace great interaction between Bob foden and Harland lo shoot harand at foden little touch plays it against harand who tries to just go around the outside of lels and in the end it's botman who gets the block by scolding botman and maybe also a fighting botman.

I think botman lels and Shaw are very tired. They had a wonderful season last year. Spen Botman, this one has had some more bitter flavors. Harand came on and was well defended on that occasion. The offside against Gardio looked very successful again in that left-back position for Manchester City. Emil. craft is coming bman doing white player who knows all about injuries, heart pain, serious knee injury last season, this is Bob Harand, oh he will escape his clutches, Leis Hall was at least present and correct there, yes, did enough. that left-back position just a step away from Erland Harland here is another who has been attracted by the project, but also by the family connections with the Northeast Lewis Hall, which only emphasizes the lack of threat of Newcastle, the dominance of Manchester City , but they might have a chance here until Rubén Díaz closes the door, yes, quite emphatically, the 16th chance for the Newcastle two may be more to come, but maybe it wasn't going to come, he reviewed his career just to try stay on the side, he wanted to fum foden just to facilitate that in his way controlling his run he couldn't reach the direct pass Murphy to deviate inside Runo Mar was able to choose a pass in those situations he had a touch of urgency from rodri without him he seems restless no no Panic on the part of cich also Holland will not have much time to achieve his goal because they are preparing the introduction of julan Alvarez Manchester City yes I think that pep garota feels that the job is done he does not want to take risks now with Erin Harland , who probably won't enjoy coming out as a striker, you want to score, you feel like there's a chance or maybe one more chance here tonight.

You're interested in seeing her reaction. I was quite happy with Kevin De Bruyne's reaction last weekend when he wasn't too happy about being retired. I think as a manager that's what you want, but maybe you don't want it to be seen publicly, yes publicly, I should say Walker moving the INF field and making a decent angle for Rodri, well here we are. fare well having helped dismantle Luton with an emphatic personal performance, he leaves the stage still with some twinges in his stomach tonight Earling Harland Julan Alvarez, the more than capable substitute, yes, Alvarez, who has had a season outstanding, 16 goals, 13 assists from Alvarez, not a bad substitute to present well, how many teams would julan Alvarez be number one Premier League is smiling leis Hall good Newcastle looks tired now looks defeated I have to say it has been a performance City standout power from a frustrated Bruno moans there's a really frustrated Eddie, how he looks almost dejected, really good, there haven't been too many chances, but they've had what I would consider decent chances.

I guess when you look beyond one in particular, but they've had opportunities to do. They may not exactly be opportunities. You say that they are in opportunistic situations that they have not taken advantage of. You can't afford to let those situations go. Not against Manchester City. Well, they might end on a note of defiance. but aangi efficient as always brilliantly the way they play and they are out again three against two and it is fed by Bernardo Silva in the end he got away, yes, uncharacteristic of foden One Touch Too Many well this FA Cup tie has flowed and I don't think there's a lot of overtime, oh God, it always seems like he's going to lift the platform himself.

The city's anthem fills the air of Manchester or at least the spaces that the rain does not occupy. This is Bernardo. Silva Phil foden minimum three minutes added kovic Kyle Walker Alvarez pachic and rodri metronomic economic hugely influential and effective yes, especially in the latter stages of this game, they have completely controlled the pace at which P Guardiola was played on his way to Wembley again, which a habit he can't get enough of, that's for sure, a club that has set new standards for itself during his time in charge, setting a new standard in the FA Cup with its presence in the semi-finals again, cannot think of a faith . a treble yet, I don't think Real Madrid, quarter-final, semi-final in wey, the FA Cup and a three-horse race for the Premier League, so there is still a lot to do for Manchester City, but with this group of players are certainly capable of doing treble doubles absolutely extraordinary foden kovic codin is trapped and will be cautioned Amon is not going to be a major factor in the proceedings surely at this point the whistle will be a blessed relief for Newcastle this is foden Bob yes the The only way I can describe it is a performance by Manchester City that has been dominant in possession the champions make another place in the history of the FA Cup Pep Guardiola's team earns a place in a sixth consecutive semi-final at Wembley which is a new record and although the endings were not emphatic on the part of Bernardo Silva, the victory was
