[Danny]

Ivan Toney back and fit, Christian Eriksen expects to be in the squad too.

Expect to see us line up as:

Raya

Roerslev - Ajer - Jansson - Pinnock - Henry

Dasilva - Norgaard - Janelt

Mbeumo - Toney

[Honey Honey]

Hopefully we can keep the run going but expect it to be tough. Brentford are in the shit if they lose this so I reckon we'll see a performance from them.

For us, a win here would be another massive one. History tells me we won't do it, but maybe this is a new chapter.

[Danny]

Toney and Eriksen on the bench, seems like we’re finally changing formation as well. Expect to see the following:

Raya

Ajer - Jansson - Pinnock - Henry

Norgaard - Jensen

Dasilva —————————— Janelt

Mbeumo —— Wissa

[Stan]

Red card for Da Silva. 

Brentford a man down. Merson thinks it wasn't a red card and that common sense should apply with Mike Dean so I can't really tell who's right or wrong on the back of that

Mike Dean is right. It’s not malicious which I assume is what Merson is getting at. Dasilva has tried to shield the ball by putting his back in front of Targett, but as he’s done it he’s overstepped and trod on Targett’s shin. It’s reckless and a deserved a red regardless of the fact his only intention was to stand in front of Targett.

Really fucking annoying though, a very Brentford moment 

[Danny]

Dan Burn really trying to sell to the ref that little ol Mbeumo has pulled him to the floor

Sounds like Perez vs West Ham at the start of the season. Pushed off balance, went to get the ball and studs went on the shin.

Think it’s just a lack of sharpness from Dasilva tbh, bad luck and fortunate there’s no major injury to Targett

[Danny]

Referee buys Jacob Murphy’s dive after he feels the skin of Bryan Mbeumo against his back and it prevents us from hitting them on the counter and creating a proper goal scoring chance. Fantastic 

[Danny]

1-0 to the oil barons 

[Danny]

Prior to the goal Newcastle didn’t look like much, but they’re putting it on us now

[Stan]

2-0 Newcastle. 

[Danny]

Jesus Christ. Terrible corner from Jensen, terrible cross from Henry and then even worse recovery 

[Danny]

Only in the Premier League can a team be dead and buried and then a fucking oil rich state just buys them out of relegation. Less and less need for a relegation and promotion system 

[Danny]

2-0 at half time, red card has changed the game, Newcastle didn’t really look up to much prior to it. Changes needed at half time, Toney and Eriksen need to get on so we can stop going fucking long to Mbeumo and Wissa who have a combined height of 3 foot 7

[Honey Honey]

Good fun this so far, shame it's half time, could have been 3 or 4 nil.

To be fair the red card was after only 10 minutes, but I agree, thought actually we started below our recent standards with the ball. We've grown with the red it's helped us turn that around. We've got a highly energetic team with the fitness that people like Joelinton and Fraser have under Howe that is a major benefit with a 1 man advantage. Chance for you to regroup now and plan to cope with that with 10 men and generate chances without playing into our hands.

Rattled by a club signing Matt Targett and Dan Burn?

[Guest]

@Honey Honey no worry of relegation for me for Newcastle now. Will probably get in the europa league next season 

[Stan]

Sounds like Utd are battering Watford. Foster keeping it level.

I don’t think you win this if we’re at 11 men which is frustrating, especially once Toney and Eriksen come on. Almost feels pointless watching the fixture unfold but who knows what will happen (probably another Newcastle goal)

No just rattled in general, but your takeover has had a considerable effect on your performances however you want to play it off.

so what? is nobody allowed to buy a club? and why do we deserve Mike Ashleys neglect over real owners with ambitions?

Weren't you saying the other day how money is ruining/has ruined the game? But if its your own club that's fine?

I never said nobody isn’t and nor that you deserve Ashley so not sure what your point is, probs best just reading my initial post and deciding if you have a response to that
