79 min “Going back to all time best Basle XI, Rakitic was in fact born in Switzerland and played for the national team up to under-21s,” says David Ashley. “However finally switched his alliance to his parents place of birth. Croatia’s gain, Switzerland’s loss.”

 

That totally passed me by.

78 min Make that a triple substitution: Tino Livramento is on for Kieran Trippier, who has run himself into the ground.

77 min: Double substitution for Newcastle Joe Willock and Sean Longstaff come on for Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes.

76 min Grealish beats Trippier on the left side of the area and whacks a cross that is headed over by Haaland at the far post. That was a decent chance, certainly for him, because Pope was out of the game.

76 min Haaland’s shot from 15 yards is well blocked by Hall. City have been good in the last five minutes or so, pinning Newcastle inside their third.

75 min “If City always win with Rodri and only lose when he’s not playing, does that mean they won’t win again this season?” says Mark Childs. “I’m joking but it does feel like there’s a Rodri narrative around this game: can City win the league without him?”

 

They can, of course, but I’d make Arsenal favourites now.

14.01 BST

73 min: Chance for Foden! Grealish’s cross is headed away to the edge of the area by Joelinton. Haaland calmly cushions the ball across to Foden, who takes a touch and hits a volley straight at Pope from 15 yards. Not a great chance, but a chance.

71 min Pope dives bravely in front of Haaland to punch the ball away. Good goalkeeping.

70 min City calm the game down by playing a bit of walking football. Eventually Grealish tries to run Trippier, who knocks the ball off Grealish and behind for a goalkick.

13.57 BST

68 min If it stays like this, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal will have the chance to move above City when they play. Has Pep Gu- oh never mind.

66 min: City substitution Phil Foden replaces Ilkay Gundogan.

66 min Walker’s poor pass is intercepted on the edge of the area by Hall, whose dangerous chipped cross is headed away well by Gvardiol.

 

Updated at 13.54 BST

13.53 BST

65 min Gordon’s cross only just evades the sliding Barnes at the far post. Newcastle are on top right now.

64 min “I’m convinced Ronnie Rosenthal had one of Niall Mullen’s moments of existential mid-game angst playing for Liverpool against Villa,” begins Rich Wilks, “when he saw greater value in missing a huge rectangle from a distance of 5 yards than penetrating it, and so gallantly opted for the former.”

 

Rosenthal!

62 min Grealish and Tonali are both booked for continuing their tête-à-tête.

13.50 BST

61 min: Big appeal for a Newcastle penalty! A long free-kick is headed on towards Joelinton, whose iffy touch allows Walker to challenge from the side. Joelinton goes down, the crowd go up, Jarred Gillett waves play on. It was a strong shoulder charge from Walker, risky but not enough to interest VAR.

 

Newcastle regain possession and moments later Barnes’ attempted dink is well blocked by the outrushing Ederson. Good save.

 

Updated at 13.51 BST

13.48 BST

61 min “The captains were called over,” says Charles Antaki. “Please tell us that Kyle Walker refused to leave his position and was handed a megaphone by staff on the touch line to communicate with the referee.”

 

Updated at 13.48 BST

13.48 BST

60 min Kovacic is booked for a foul on Tonali, studs into the ankle like the good old days.

13.47 BST

59 min “Seeing FC Basel products Akanji and Schar line up against each other reminds me how great the all-time FC Basel XI would look with a spine of Yann Sommer, Schar, Akanji, Xhaka, Rakitic, Salah, and Shaqiri,” says Amar Breckenridge.

 

Blimey, I had no idea Rakitic played for them. Gokhan Inler is another one, although there might be room in that midfield.

58 min Pep is wagging his finger. There’s no doubt Gordon initiated what little contact there was, but we see that all the time these days.

 

Anthony Gordon equalises for Newcastle from the spot! 🎯

56 min: Penalty to Newcastle! Gordon gets away from Akanji, goes round Ederson and waits for the contact. Kyle Walker was playing him onside so this should stand.

 

Ederson is booked. He didn’t do much wrong but I guess Gordon has the right to run into his outstretched arm.

54 min Schar plays a quick-witted early pass to find Gordon one v one with Akanji, who moves smoothly through the gears to clear the danger. Good defending.

 

Updated at 13.43 BST

13.41 BST

53 min VAR checked the Grealish incident but it didn’t constitute violent conduct. It has at least added a bit of edge to a fairly sleepy game.

 

Updated at 13.42 BST

13.41 BST

52 min Tonali goes down in his own area after a slight elbow to the chest from Grealish. Play continues and Haaland’s shot is deflected wide.

 

Jarred Gillett calls both captains over for a word.

 

Updated at 13.41 BST

13.40 BST

51 min Joelinton’s cross is headed across goal by Schar, who was up front in open play, and away from danger. Barnes goes over under a challenge from Walker but nobody is interested.

 

Updated at 13.40 BST

13.38 BST

50 min “According to the late, great Gorilla Monsoon of WWF/WWE fame, a hit to the breadbasket was a blow to the stomach,” says Ashley Collins. “Grealish was struck in ‘the lower abdominal regions’.”

 

Ah fair enough – I thought it actually was the breadbasket, I wasn’t being euphemistic. If he gets hit in the ballocks I’ll say so.

 

Updated at 13.38 BST

13.38 BST

49 min Nothing to report. Newcastle can’t score if City have the ball, and they do.

 

Updated at 13.38 BST

13.36 BST

47 min “Greetings from still pitch dark California,” writes Mary Waltz. “City loses Rodri, KDB in and out of the line-up. This would crush most teams. Newcastle played a disciplined Howe style first half. Yet they trail and a City win looks inevitable. We can rage against the machine but is it pointless?”

 

Life? Yeah probably.

13.33 BST

46 min Peep peep! City begin the second half.

Half time: Newcastle 0-1 Man City

Not a great first half at St James’ Park, but City have defended solidly and lead through a neat goal from Josko Gvardiol. There’s your precis.

13.17 BST

45+1 min: Good save by Ederson! A long free-kick into the City area is headed on by Burn. Joelinton controls it on the stretch, turns and belts an excellent shot that is really well saved by the diving Ederson. There’s a bit of a scramble thereafter, with the crowd appealing for a penalty, but nothing comes of it.

45 min One minute of added fare.

13.14 BST

43 min Grealish, City’s brighest attacker so far, tees up Akanji for a shot that deflects behind. It’s headed away and Murphy runs 70 yards down the left before his cutback is blocked by Walker.

 

Updated at 13.14 BST

13.13 BST

42 min “With no parallels to be drawn with my own life I wonder if a team has ever just realised the pointlessness of it all mid-match?” says Niall Mullen. “At some stage the sheer triviality of the endeavour juxtaposed with the intense pressure surrounding it must punch them in the solar plexus. There must be a chance that at least one player would go all Richie Tenenbaum.”

 

That’s seventy-two misplaced passes from Rob Smyth…

41 min “Where’s your famous atmosphere?” enquire the City fans. Gundogan plays an excellent through pass to Haaland, who gets away from Burn on the edge of the area but leaves the ball behind him. City could have scored three in the last 10 minutes.

 

Updated at 13.12 BST

13.11 BST

40 min: Chance for City! A dreadful pass from Pope goes straight to Gundogan, who has a two on one with Haaland to his left. Gundogan tries to chip Pope from about 40 yards but completely underhits it.

 

Updated at 13.11 BST

13.10 BST

39 min Haaland’s wound was created when he ragdolled Burn, whose studs went into Haaland’s Achilles as he fell.

 

Updated at 13.10 BST

13.09 BST

38 min “On Ederson’s backheel, this is just a routine league game,” writes S McInally. “What about doing it in a European Cup final?”

 

Blimey, that’s great, I’ve never seen it before.

37 min Haaland has a cut on his Achilles, for which he received a bit of treatment after the goal. He’s playing on for now and has just headed a corner away at the near post.

 

Updated at 13.08 BST

13.06 BST

Grealish lost Trippier on the left and slipped an early pass into Gvardiol in the area. He cut inside Burn, who expected the first-time shot, and slid a careful right-footed shot across Pope. It took a slight touch off Tonali but I think it was going in anyway, and the coolness with which he beat Burn was exemplary.
