Round Up Of Eddie's City Press Conference

The Geordie Mongrel got it right... there were no curved ball or searching questions aimed at Eddie by the media in what was a low key and tame press conference.

On the transfer window: Questions about no signings in the window were met with the standard PSR response and Eddie said that signing players who could step straight into the first team was never seriously under consideration.

On Sandro Tonali Rumours: Eddie was asked if it was true he was offered to Arsenal and he simply replied that he couldn't really answer that because he isn't aware of everything that goes on.

However, Eddie did say that he spoke to Sandro yesterday and that he is fully committed to the club, is enjoying his time at Newcastle, and as far as Eddie is aware he is happy.

Eddie confirmed that Jamaal Lascelles has joined Leicester and praised his leadership and contribution to NUFC during his twelve years in a black and white shirt.

On injuries: Bruno and Miley won't start against City but Sven Botman is fit to play. No questions were asked, or an update given, on Jo.

On the match: Eddie lamented the late goal that gave City a 2-0 lead but he said they would go to the Etihad looking to win although he believes playing City away is the toughest of fixtures.

On the starting 11: There were no questions asked about resting players for the Brentford game on Saturday so Bingo entrants got no clues for their predictions.

So, all in all a fairly bland press conference.

I'm surprised no questions were asked about leaving Wissa and Woltemade on the bench against Liverpool, or about Big Nick's current eleven game goal drought.

An easy ride for Eddie... the media must be getting soft.
