And so when you've just come off what they've come off, the last couple of games, and you don't have that energy...

then they basically blew a gasket.

You know, they had such a good start, clearly before the game they were revved up, you know, let's not forget about what happened the last couple of games, let's make sure we're at it, and they were, but unfortunately they couldn't sustain it.

And Newcastle cannot sustain that type of energy, playing with that sort of emotion in front of that crowd.

And that allowed City, when they dropped, to get in the game.

And after that, then City just took them by the throat.

You know, it's funny that sometimes we talk about when you make so many changes,

you're playing basically reserve players or players that are not playing.

And the worry is, is that they won't have enough in their legs because of that.

But it actually went in Manchester City's favour.

They absolutely had more legs when it mattered most.

And when they took control, that extra energy

You know, breathing.

Breathing.

When you breathe, people forget.

It goes straight to the brain.

It clears the brain.

Newcastle couldn't breathe.

They couldn't think straight.

And so City, not only did they have the legs, they had the brains, they had the composure, they had the ability, they had the players, the goals, you name it.
