A third chimed in saying: “That’s totally insane.”
And a fourth simply wrote: “Strange man.”
City seem to be doing just fine without their star striker as their win over the Magpies lifts them in to second place in the Premier League table.
But they did need to call upon Kevin De Bruyne for the first time since his long term injury that has seen him miss most of this season.
De Bruyne came off the bench while City were trailing 2-1 and provided the magic needed to earn his side all three point.
He found the back of the net just five minutes after being subbed on before providing the assist for Oscar Bobb’s late winner too.
