OrangeKhrush Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 it will be a good game, and unlike Leeds who parked the bus Fulham may come to play which also is better for us. they are a good team but they do give up the most chances per game of all 20 teams so we should get a lot of chances. I'm feeling a 1-0 win
Honey Honey Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Must win. They are only 4 points behind us. Expect this will be the end of Pope's clean sheet run.

Every game from here on in is a must win, must win to keep the gap and keep up with Arsenal. I prefer this match up to Leeds and Bournemouth as they will be more expansive which plays into our strategy. I also prefer this fixture is the home leg, at the cottage it would be harder to play them now than when we last met in October

This is another tough game but I think you're right when you say Fulham will come and play. I think we'll come through narrowly but they're having a great season so it wont be easy.

Arsenal and City are looking over their shoulders, European football is returning in two weeks and these teams play 5 games in 11 days, Arsenal are an injury or a slip up away, Man City are not man city of old and this odd season is a levelled, it is going to ring out the big teams due to abnormal fixture congestion. I wonder if Leicester thought they were not going to catch City? in 2016 they were 8 points behind Arsenal and Spurs in 2nd and 3rd, what happened that season was man city imploding. at this moment we are in a race, all we can do is control what we can do.

Each to their own. Personally I'm hoping both City and Arsenal win this weekend against our direct rivals for a top 4 place.

We are 9 points off them and they have a game in hand. We are nowhere near them.
N U F C Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Unchanged from the team that played Leicester in the cup mid-week. Not expecting an easy ride today at all.
Honey Honey Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 We are just not getting the goals as easily anymore. Set pieces haven't been threatening since the world cup. Big chances and half chances missed. Bruno obviously has to come off. Move Willock into the middle. Let's see if we can get the goals second half.
OrangeKhrush Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 I think we may need to step up our pursuit of a midfielder now. Savic and Neves are the two latest names mentioned, can't think of any reason why neither are good options, very versatile also.
N U F C Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Bruno should have been taken off well before now. St. Maximin or Isak to come on and Willock to go in the middle seems the most sensible option. Please not Jacob Murphy.
Honey Honey Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Maxi is coming on. Time for him to turn up to get his place back in the line up.
Administrator Stan Posted January 15, 2023 Author Administrator Posted January 15, 2023 I'd say the penalty on Reid is more legit than the Pereira one. Trippier kicks him.
Rick Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Sorry, but both of those were penalties. This referee is a moron, not the first game this season that he’s missed clear penalties. He was stood feet away from the Reid challenge and ignored it.
Danny Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 That is never a penalty. How can you foul someone that has trod on your foot? Mental.
Administrator Stan Posted January 15, 2023 Author Administrator Posted January 15, 2023 Just now, Rick said: Sorry, but both of those were penalties. Think Pereira makes a meal of the first one which probably makes the refs decision for him, but not sure what Trippier can moan about. He clearly kicks him.
Administrator Stan Posted January 15, 2023 Author Administrator Posted January 15, 2023 Just now, Danny said: That is never a penalty. How can you foul someone that has trod on your foot? Mental. His left foot kicks Reid? Quite clearly. Newcastle players surrounding the ref. Tut tut.
Rick Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Just now, Danny said: That is never a penalty. How can you foul someone that has trod on your foot? Mental. Trippier has made no attempt at getting the ball, he’s just ran in clumsily.
Administrator Stan Posted January 15, 2023 Author Administrator Posted January 15, 2023 Mitrovic slips, kicks it twice and now Newcastle get a free kick

Tut tut. 1 minute ago, Rick said: Trippier has made no attempt at getting the ball, he’s just ran in clumsily. Reid treds ontop of Trippiers foot, that in itself should be a foul. You cant studs down onto someones foot and it not be a foul. But justice has been done anyway
OrangeKhrush Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 I have seen a lot of things, never seen that before
Administrator Stan Posted January 15, 2023 Author Administrator Posted January 15, 2023 Isak scores. Lapse in concentration for Fulham.
