Closed Newcastle v Chelsea

[Santiago. 1,500]

2-1

Newcastle win. There is no confidence nor consistency in the side with Benitez in charge.

[Laylabelle 9,359]

Bad time to play them. Hopefully they haven't fully learnt to play with each other yet and their defence is still shaky. Demba has to play in front of his old team. Show them what they lost.

They'll learn for this game..then forget the next time they play...

Be nice if we remember how to play together to!

[Santiago. 1,500]

Think this is the most we ever missed Mikel and Moses.

Too true lol.

Not saying they are not important or good players but perhaps if we have had some decent replacements to come in for them, we wouldn't be missing them too much right now. Lacking in squad depth.

[Laylabelle 9,359]

A win be so nice..its bad that kinda looking forward to the England pointless friendly.Nice to be mehhh about a team being crap

Aspects we are lacking at the moment are a natural winger, a possession minded holding midfielder, and quality strikers to bring on. We got Ba which I suppose does away with an area, don't know why we didn't go in for Beñat this transfer window, he's the Ideal player we need in the central midfield area. Moses is a real loss at the moment.

Hopefully the distraction of any new players will get off their minds and they can focus and close games. Fuck torres or betrand in the starting line up. Fuck any first sub at the 80th minute.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Lampard must be exausted, how many games in 3 weeks now?

[Hutcho 8,443]

Play the best 11 available. And in theory that should be enough... But theory is something that doesn't always line up when we put it in practice. And oh, I have I mentioned this before.... START DEMBA BA!

[bluephoenix 1,126]

my lineup for Newcastle:

--------Cech-------

-Azpi--Luiz Ivanovic---Terry--Cole----

-----------Ramires--Lampard----

----Benayoun---Oscar----Marin----

---------------------Ba------------------

[RFC RYAN CFC 59]

Really looking forward to this. A few coming down tomorrow.

Ba must start!!

[Blue Armour 4,290]

No Marin/Bertrand on the wings..I don't trust either of them in this sort of game. We really need points right now to make up for the ones we lost..

I hope either:

• Luiz is fit, so we can push Ramires up front
• we play Ba on the wing, and Torres upfront or pair the two
• Benayoun plays on the wing, Ba upfront.

chelsea goooooo

[Ollie 4,400]

First time in a while really that i've felt we have only a slight chance of winning. Newcastle aren't exactly doing great but i can't see us even troubling them. They've got their new signings and they owe their fans a win or 2, this'll be so very hard. We can win but i dunno, just seems like we're throwing this whole season away. Rafa could be gone after this. 1-0 Geordies.

[Spike 12,049]

I'm confident.

[Rmpr 8,977]

I'm confident.

That we will win or lose?

[Spike 12,049]

That we will win or lose?

I'm confident that this match will end in a win, loss or draw.
