Jase 43,479 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Newcastle just won their first game in awhile on Tuesday and will be boosted by their recent signings as well. Not exactly looking forward to this.On the slight positive note, at least Ba should be starting this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinineUltra 1,170 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Preparing for the worst. The depth of their squad and quality is just impressive. Hopefully we can pick ourselves up after the draw that felt like a loss and show some desire. If Hazard's 3 match ban stays and isn't extended, it's his last game out, thank god.

Not exactly looking forward to this.On the slight positive note, at least Ba should be starting this one.True enough, but they were awful in the 2nd half (sound familiar? sigh). Also, the recent signings probably won't probably have gelled yet. These points aside, I share your lack of optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrippingStep 336 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 No Bertrand please.I would play Torres and Ba. With a specific role for Torres on the left, Debuchy is not good against forward with a bit of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrippingStep 336 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Not great pace but more than Debuchy.But it's not only Torres that can exploit Debuchy weaknesses.If I was Benitez, I would target Debuchy's zone when we attack, we will have free-kicks, opportunities behind his back, can slow him down quite easily when he's in possession of the ball.

bushman 2,043 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If Torres has pace, then I might as well try to go for 100m dash at the next Olympics. Sometimes, I wonder whether some of these chaps in here are watching football at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brem 0 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 we went up there last year when we were on a bad run, and played well and got a convincing win! Same again sat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogzola 283 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If we keep on starting Torres ahead of Ba his morale is going to drop surely? Especially as he can see Torres isn't effective up front alone. Ba is a must, also players that return to their previous clubs always seem to score against them.....Lets do this KTBFFH :cfc: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrippingStep 336 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 With Mikel, Moses, Luiz, Hazard back.I think we should try a 4-3-3.We could rotate Hazard Mata Moses as inside forward on either side of the pitch.Luiz, Lampard, Oscar, Ramires in the two more advanced player of the three in midfield.Sorry wrong topic.It was meant to go in the "will we finish in top 4" and I think yes.
