Lighthouse Posted 7 December, 2013 Share Posted 7 December, 2013 If there's a form team you don't want to be playing at the moment Newcastle are pretty high on the list. They are fresh off an excellent win at old Trafford, much to the amusement of the City fans in the Northam concourse just before kick off. I don't see any reason to change the team. Let's give Ossie a chance to build on 2 goals in a week. Want and and Boruc will still be out. Any news on Morgan and Clyne? The only other worry might be Lovren who tweeted a picture of a nasty looking gash on his leg. Hopefully just a scratch for 'Animal' though. Who's going up for the game? I wanted to go but can't really justify the cost of such a far away trip just before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 7 December, 2013 Author Share Posted 7 December, 2013 True but City's away form has been patchy at best. I won't lie, I was expecting a spanking today but City's flat performance won't come as a huge shock to most pundits. If Clyne is fit I still wouldn't drop Chambers after today. They will have to fight for that RB slot. Having said that, Clyne coming on after 70 minutes and running at tired defences is a good option to have.

Newcastle without the suspended Cabaye aren't anything much to write home about. Makes them tick and scores a lot of their goals. On his way to PSG in January so they'll take a nose dive soon. edit he's not suspended then, thought someone said he was. re-edit seems that he is, although it doesn't show up on the FA list, perhaps yesterday's yellow hasn't been counted yet.

Their defensive record is starting to improve since Coloccini has been back, yes but without Cabaye in front of the defence they'll be more exposed and as I've never rated Tioté I don't think he'll be as effective as Cabaye. Swansea took the game to them and Newcastle just got blown away and Krul was pretty awful apparently. Newcastle are a Jekyll and Hyde side.

Sheaf Saint Posted 9 December, 2013 Share Posted 9 December, 2013 Cabaye was the difference between the teams last year at their place, fortunately he´s suspended next week. I don't know. We weren't at our best up there last year, but I would say that a dodgy penalty decision and an goal that blatantly should have been ruled offside were the actual difference between the teams.

Newcastle didn't really offer a lot. Dyer was the game changer when he came on in the 1st half. They couldn't deal with Swansea's passing game and Dyer's pace, and even though they didn't have a recognised striker, still slotted 3 past them. I don't think we have anything to fear, as long as we play our game and dictate the style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 9 December, 2013 Share Posted 9 December, 2013 Interestingly they couldn't get hold of Swansea last week, so if we are as disciplined as we were against Man City for the final 75 minutes, and Osvaldo is looking to have a bit more sunshine blown up his Jacksy (and another wedgie from Jose) we could be in with a shout.

S-Clarke Posted 9 December, 2013 Share Posted 9 December, 2013 Let's be honest, after beating Man Utd on their patch, this is exactly the sort of home game Newcastle will slip up in. I feel pretty confident about this one, not sure why...but I had a similar feeling in the run-up to the City game. I think we've got another epic away day on the cards. I'm not sure what I'd change, probably just JWP out for Morgan (if he's back). Leave Osvaldo up top, but bring on Lambert alongside him if we're struggling. Don't think we will be though, positive about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much what we (NUFC fan here) are thinking. At Swansea we played with Ameobi up front and Remy supporting and just couldn't get near the ball. At Old Trafford we brought Anita in and had more possession than them, more shots and never looked in trouble after scoring. Cabaye out means Anita will definitly play and he just keeps the tempo going, always moving and a very neat little player. Many of us want to see him play reularly in a more fluid 5 man midfield. Who mentioned M'biwa earlier on ? Yes he was very poor, but like Debuchy, Sissoko and Gouffran they have all got to grips with the pace and intensity of the Premier league and are now much better with most feeling M'biwa was very unlucky to be dropped for Coloccini. How many are you bringing up ? I know many clubs like a visit up here just before christmas to make a weekend of shopping and "socialising". Have fun just I hope you don't enjoy the match.

Guess we'll try to do the boa constrictor and hope for a bit of Ossie brilliance. My money would be on Newcastle but we still have a decent shout ourselves. PS Those that are going take mountain gear with you, it's the highest spot I've ever sat in. The pitch looked tiny from up there but it was a great view across Geordieland.
