Newcastle away

[allez les rouges]

Let's f*** them over proper

[Stevie H]

their tails are up, annoyingly. three wins on the bounce one of them away at the champions in the cup. there will be several goals.

[Widnesian]

Therefore, 5 quid on 0-0 at 11-1.

[Stevie H]

papiss cisse a doubt for them apparently.

[Tommy Cockles]

It is annoying.

 

that said though they will think they are Champions of the Werld having beaten City, it might make them overconfident. You know what they are like.

[Conrad]

4-3 to us

[_00_deathscar]

Therefore, 5 quid on 0-0 at 11-1.

 

You're mad if you think we'll keep a clean sheet.

 

 

 

[dorgie]

No confidence about this at all. They've got a lot of pace and size up front and will attempt to batter us at set pieces.

[Swipe]

Not confident either really.

 

Hopefully that means we'll tank them.

[Nebraska Red]

The big positive for me is that the kick off is at 7.45 am, giving me an extra hour in bed.

 

I hope we can start well and be positive early on.

[Andy @ Allerton]

2-1 Newcastle I fear

[Captain Carrot]

Today, I will be sat among the season ticket holders in the Milburn Stand. I will be mostly wearing vermilion.

[McBain]

I read that first as being sat mostly among vermin

[Barnesy_10]

Yeah I'm not hopeful today.. I think Coutinho will be our key man though.

[quibs]

Strange one today, we usually do well at Newcastle but they will be confident.

 

Just hope we get a win. Balotelli to score today.

[The_Adder]

We are s*** but they are s***ter, so hopefully we'll win

[Gravy]

We have to win - we just have to

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Just watched the 4-3 game on BT Sports with the most boring commentator ever doin the comms. You'll know his voice, its so f***ing dull, he did the 2006 Cup Final on the Offical Season review for the club. But at the end of the Newcastle game, he came out with this.

 

"Its hard to stay calm in the commentary box, I'm losing my voice here" - Peter Brackley

 

I've never heard him get genuinely excited about anything.

[D.Boon]

Start Borini, send these c**** home crying.

[McBain]

Start Borini, send these c**** home crying.

 

Decent shout. He played alright midweek

[Sion]

We're a lot better than them but we have zero confidence and they just won away at City

Hoping for a typical Newcastle performance where they boo the team off.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

f*** knows who can guess the Newcastle team these days but I'll have a stab;

 

Krul

 

Janmaat Taylor Coloccini Dummett

 

Colback (Abeid/Anita)

 

Obertan Sissoko (Gouffran)

 

(Cisse/Perez/Arons/Reviere)

 

• Their right - fully expect Janmaat and Obertan to team up on that side. Janmaat is not shy about going forward.
   
  
• Dummett is more defensive on the other side and not as attacking. If Haidara starts instead of him then its a sign Pardew is going for it.
   
  
• Colback will start in midfield with Sissoko just ahead if its 4-2-3-1. Probably Anita will also get the nod.
   
  
• No idea who will start upfront for them.
  

 

 

I'd go with

 

Mignolet

 

Johnson Skrtel Lovren Moreno

 

Henderson Gerrard Coutinho

 

Borini Balotelli Sterling

 

• I'd like to see a pure 4-3-3 and look to exploit them in wide areas.
   
  
• Size Moreno, Coutinho and Sterling up against their preferred side. Get Coutinho looking to slide Sterling in down the channels if Janmaat is going to provide width.
   
  
• With Sterling & Moreno getting down the left, we'll have 2 strikers in the box as Borini will natually come in to provide support from the opposite side.
   
  
• Balotelli also has a preference like Benteke to drift more left than right due to his penchant for winding shots up when coming inside on his right foot. Might be more space down this side.
   
  
• Get Johnson going down the right instead of Manquillo and build play down that side. Henderson & Borini will provide lots of movement and runs which will help Johnson when on the ball.
  

[fred milne]

I'd go with this:

 

Mignolet

Manquillo Skrtel Lovren Moreno

Gerrard

Henderson Allen

Sterling

Borini Balotelli

As if people come on to post that they we will lose - even predicting the score - to s**** like this.

 

Go and f***ing batter them.

Absolutely, the last time I dreaded going to Newcastle was in the early 90's when we were s*** and they had Cole banging them in. Other than that, just dont get done when it comes to desire and we should be able to make our quality count.
