Lighthouse Posted 27 December, 2021 Posted 27 December, 2021 Hopefully not too bad. Just a week of rest should do it.
Saint Matty 76 Posted 27 December, 2021 Posted 27 December, 2021 Bloody hell. Being spoon-fed this one like the Leeds game.

The Cat Posted 27 December, 2021 Posted 27 December, 2021 (edited) Only saw the last 20 minutes which was end to end. Reminded me of those school games when everyone is knackered near the end, there's no midfield and both teams are just launching it forwards. Good that Newcastle seem to have picked up a couple of crucial injuries, plus they have another game before they come to St Mary's to hopefully pick up some more. Edited 27 December, 2021 by The Cat
Lighthouse Posted 27 December, 2021 Posted 27 December, 2021 Good result. Keeps us 9 points above Newcastle and 8 behind United. 2

Spirited performance tonight but they have a really shite squad. I'd only take Dubravka, Saint-M and Wilson. Joelinton Has been different class since Howe arrived , play like he did today and he’d walk into our side.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 27 December, 2021 Posted 27 December, 2021 And I’d take Frasier over Walcott any day of the fucking week
Teddeer Posted 27 December, 2021 Posted 27 December, 2021 Man Utd were hopeless. Where did they get those two full backs? Rashford very poor as were Fernandes, Fred and McTomminay. Couldn't string two passes together and made Newcastle look like Barcelona at their best. Yet Newcastle still couldn't beat them although you have to say they were unlucky.
CB Fry Posted 27 December, 2021 Posted 27 December, 2021 (edited) 27 minutes ago, adriansfc said: Will Newcastle go down? On the one hand, they're just one win from safety. But then, they need 25+ points from the second half of the season. They need an incredibly solid second half of the season - 25 in 19 is lower mid table form - around what Villa and Leicester are doing now. Difficult but not impossible. If they get some points from those next four they will start to believe and then just hold on and hope for a stunning end of season run. We need to hope that pressure to win these next few will be too much for a squad that is, right now, not good enough. It's really important that we beat them. Because them staying up could be at the expense of us. Edited 27 December, 2021 by CB Fry 1
HarvSFC Posted 27 December, 2021 Posted 27 December, 2021 What is Ralf junior going to moan about post match then? Newcastle only got an eight day break, as opposed to Man United 16 day break, so he should probably stop harping on about that, as Newcastle were playing full of energy, while United looked sluggish with a lack of any cohesion. I suppose he was only able to bring Sancho and Cavani on at half time and wasn't allowed to turn to another three, which includes Shaw, Wan-Bissaka and Van de Beek, who all cost over £20m to sit on the bench, so there's always that.

Not to mention the luck of the draw with covid at the moment could leave them even more depleted. Howe didnt sound overly confident of having enough players for these games. Think Newcastle might just scrape safety. Norwich and Watford will likely go and can see Brentford being dragged back in, they've looked very poor recently
Saint Keef Posted 28 December, 2021 Posted 28 December, 2021 My money is on our game with Newcastle being postponed. Eddie Howe already saying he is dangerously close to not being able to field a team. I wonder how closely monitored these Covid results are. It would suit them to have a couple go down with Covid now, call it off, buy some time, get a few players fit and buy a few quality players, before they play Everton, Saints, Watford & Leeds. Just saying.

You can't arbitrarily make rules about who can play in a team just cause a game takes place later than it was scheduled for.
AlexLaw76 Posted 28 December, 2021 Posted 28 December, 2021 I can see Newcastle at least trying to play the COVID card.

If that scenario materialised I doubt they'd list any first-teamers as positive, rather back-up players that deplete the squad in case the authorities call their bluff, order them to play and then lose more key players.

AlexLaw76 Posted 28 December, 2021 Posted 28 December, 2021 Leeds have struggled on with so many players out, now teams are deciding they don't fancy it.
Matthew Le God Posted 28 December, 2021 Posted 28 December, 2021 Isaac Hayden was suspended and missed last night's game, but he can now play for them vs Everton and Saints. Plus covid cases they had for last night's game may well be back for the Saints game as it is still a few days away on Sunday. 1

I know it's different set of circumstances but nobody gave a shit when we were reduced to naming under 23's in the first team and on the bench last year. Fed up with hearing about how the clubs aren't managing it when it was barely mentioned last year when we were struggling for fit players. It will be a real kick in the teeth for the other clubs in the bottom half if Newcastle are allowed to postpone any games this side of the transfer window. Gives them a huge advantage. 3
HarvSFC Posted 28 December, 2021 Posted 28 December, 2021 Crystal Palace tried to play the system over the weekend, requesting their game be called off against Spurs, despite their entire 11 that started the previous game against us being available and in the matchday squad against Spurs (they made one change with Guehi moving to the bench). Everton/Benitez was also moaning last week that their game was going ahead and that their application for a postponement had been rejected, 24 hours later they pick up some non-COVID related injuries and their match gets called off, while their match on Thursday against Newcastle is so far going ahead after an extended rest period. It wouldn't surprise me that after the injuries to Saint-Maximin and Wilson last night, Newcastle try to get their next few games postponed before they can then sign players.

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 28 December, 2021 Posted 28 December, 2021 Watford have given up their lead and are now behind, keeping them down there. Norwich losing again too.
