Subscriber Dan+ Posted September 26, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 26, 2019 This for me is a very interesting test because Newcastle will be hiring out every bus on Tyneside to park in front of their goal for this one, and who can blame them? Because it usually works here. This has become our achilles heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted September 28, 2019 Author Administrator Share Posted September 28, 2019 Bit cautious about this game. Recent history says away side does better in this fixture. Don't think Maddison will play after injuring his ankle last weekend. Think this will be a tougher game than the Spurs one anyway. Newcastle will probably sit back and defend deep and try to hit on the counter. I think we're better equipped to break them down with the players we have this season though.

Guest Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 @Stanout of interest would you prefer Leicester to win a cup this year or qualify for the champions League? I really rate Leicester I think this side is maybe better than the side who won the league. You won't finish above city or Liverpool and I don't think you will finish above spurs but you could finish fourth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't respond well to last weeks shit show we're likely going down on character alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a little bit uneasy about this game ever since your win at Spurs, I wouldn't be shocked to see a very similar game. On the flip side, if we do start the game well and get ourselves in front I think we'll pick up our biggest win in a while. Maddison is doubtful, I expect a team of...

Schmeichel Ricardo - Evans - Soyuncu - Chilwell Ndidi Tielemans - Praet Perez - Vardy - Barnes Low possession isn't bus parking in the current era. As you should know from our game at yours last year. We were the better team than Spurs in the first half. There is no evidence that this Newcastle team set up any particular way. We certainly didn't set up to have 23% possession at home to Brighton. So far we've put a team out and the game falls out how it falls out.

I just think your players still have that griitty defensive show in them. You've done the job on us a couple of times. I expect us to boss your for possession, 70%+ for us, but how much we actually create is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted September 29, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 29, 2019 Newcastle look pretty hopeless. They don't seem to have that solidity about them that would see them grind out a few ratty results over the course of the season and anchor themselves in mid-table. Basic defending going out the window and a poor mistake from Dubravka there. Own goal now and that's 3-0. Thing is with Newcastle as we're talking about them as if they're this massively limited team. They don't have many players that would trouble line-ups in the top half of the table but with Almiron, Dubravka, Joelinton, Saint-Maximin, Lascelles they should have enough about them to at least not be perceived as some sort of minnow calling 17th a successful season. They look bereft of confidence and ideas whenever I've seen them play this season with the exception of the Spurs game where they at least made the most of things falling their way early in the game.

LFCMadLad Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 The Newcastle players didn't even look arsed. Just strolling around like nothing matters. Suppose on that money it can get you like that... if you are a weak bastard. I like Newcastle and hope they stay up but.... no fucking chance.

The change from Rafa to Bruce has been the complete collapse of organisation. I'm fairly emotionless every week to be honest. I and thousands of others don't care anymore. We know we are probably going down, I don't feel anger, at least not yet. I'm actually moving towards just calling it a day with football full stop. I don't think I'd miss it anymore because I feel no emotion. I can't even get angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
