Nunes, Gonzalez, Reijnders & Doku have started a lot for Man City.

Starts in all competitions wise it is 268 for Newcastle & 217 for Man City's XI.

24,423 minutes played across all competitions for #NUFC's starting XI, 19,793 for #MCFC's.

(All my basic maths, mind).

That was practically a quote he gave as well... But yes, I very much accept it's a very optimistic take!

What Newcastle must do before ‘the biggest game in their history’ against Barcelona Eddie Howe surprised many by hyping up the arrival of Barcelona. The magnitude of the match is lost on nobody on Tyneside and beyond

⚫ Ramsey & Joelinton in, Woltemade out 🔄
⚪ Rapid, pressing front 3 🏃
⚫ Rediscover defensive resilience 🧱
⚪ Take chances - unlike vs #MCFC (& Barcelona last time) 🤞

I'm out & about today but if you remind me on tomorrow, I can do this.

Newcastle 1 Man City 3 – Did Savinho mean it? Why was Pep fuming? Is Newcastle’s season on the brink? Marmoush continued his remarkable scoring record against Newcastle as City picked off their opponents to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals

⚫ #NUFC's best chance of silverware & Europe gone? 🏆

📝 #NUFC 1-3 #MCFC #FACup analysis w/ @dtathletic.bsky.social: #NEWMCI www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

Full-time: #NUFC 1-3 #MCFC

One-sided 2nd half. Once #MCFC took the lead, #NUFC never looked like getting back into it.

Started strongly, went ahead, but then defensive errors cost them again & midfield lacked presence.

Best chance of silverware & Europe gone?

#NEWMCI #FACup

79: Tino Livramento makes his return from injury. He replaces Hall.

#NUFC #NEWMCI #FACup #MCFC

72: Gordon replaces Woltemade. Willock goes left-sided No 8, Barnes right-wing & Gordon left-wing.

#NUFC #NEWMCI #FACup #MCFC

Gordon being readied to come on.

#NUFC #NEWMCI #FACup #MCFC

#NUFC 1-3 #MCFC

Newcastle have been very poor since the break, & the third goal has been coming. The finish was sublime, mind. Marmoush against Newcastle. Again.

Nunes advances to the edge of the area, centres inside, one touch from Marmoush & he lashes home.

#NEWMCI #FACup

Marmoush. 1-3.

#NEWMCI #FACup #NUFC #MCFC

62: #NUFC triple sub - Elanga, Osula & Trippier are replaced by Joelinton, Burn & Wissa.

Hall has gone right-back, Burn has gone left-back, Wissa up front, Joelinton in midfield & Willock right-wing.

#NEWMCI #FACup #NUFC #MCFC

Wissa & Joelinton coming on for #NUFC.

#NEWMCI #FACup #NUFC #MCFC

#NUFC 1-2 #MCFC

#NUFC have not started the second half well & Gonzalez plays a pass to Nunes, who then advances to the byline, whips a low cross to the back post, Trippier & O'Reilly miss it, Marmoush takes a touch & then scores his customary goal vs #NUFC.

#NEWMCI #FACup

2-1 #MCFC. Marmoush.

#NUFC #FACup #MCFC #NEWMCI

Back under way for the second half at St James' Park, where the scoreline is 1-1.

No changes for either side at the break.

#NUFC #MCFC #NEWMCI #FACup

Half-time: #NUFC 1-1 #MCFC

Newcastle started brightly, could & should have scored more, but Barnes took his goal really well.

Brought about their own problems by the end of the half, though. Kept giving it away, midfield not present.

Savinho dangerous so far.
#NEWMCI #FACup

#NUFC 1-1 #MCFC

#NUFC had been dropping deeper, inviting pressure, eventually that tells. Midfield, Tonali aside, borderline non-existent.

Doku whips the ball from the left low, Hall misses it under pressure from Gonzalez, it hits Savinho & goes in.

#NEWMCI #FACup

1-1. Savinho. Poor goal to concede.

#NUFC #MCFC #NEWMCI #FACup

#NUFC 1-0 #MCFC

Magnificent from Sandro Tonali. Botman backheel sidefoots the ball inside to Tonali, who is around halfway, he plays a delicious ball to send Barnes into the left-hand side of the box, he curls brilliantly beyond Trafford.

#NEWMCI #FACup

Goal! Barnes!

#NUFC #MCFC #NEWMCI #FACup

We're under way at St James' Park, where #NUFC are hosting #MCFC in the #FACup fifth round.

Will Osula is leading the line for the home side, with Nick Woltemade in midfield. #NUFC are shooting towards the Leazes End during the first half.

Crowd are very up for it...

#MCFC #NUFC #FACup

4 changes for #NUFC, with Will Osula rewarded with a start up front - having also led the line at Villa in the previous round - & Woltemade back in midfield (by the looks of it) following illness.

Botman is in defence, too, & Willock replaces Ramsey.

Wissa, Joelinton, Gordon & Livramento on bench.
