GeeMon 34 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Need to silence Ben Arfa for this one. If he's having a good game he will be very hard to stop. Can imagine one of the Chelsea players being tasked with not giving him room to breathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojo 4,676 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 If we don't get 3 points from this then that is worrying.Newcastle are really below standards at the moment, no chemistry at all, we should be one of those teams what can really hurt them this season.

They have players capable of turning it up at any given time, we just have to be focussed and determined to get a result. After three huge wins its not hard to envision a let off. But having said that Jose is the type of manager that will motivate his side to press on and use the positive atmosphere to build on a decent run of form.

We really should be beating these and there really shouldn't be any excuses either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even title challengers have slips, its about minimizing how many of them you have in a given term. I said in the post match for City that this is a period where we need to throw down the gauntlet and take 15pts out 18 over the next 6 games so I'm with you but slips do happen.

It's not, there are now 6 teams what can challenge for the title, potentially.But that doesn't mean every team is going at it, teams like Newcastle survive on points from the likes of Loic Remy, where they haven't particularly played well but Remy has just smashed two in from outside the box. If Newcastle can do that to us and we can't hit them back harder, then we shouldn't be winning the league.I fear sides like Swansea, Southampton and Everton, sides that have ambition and aren't in a managerial crisis.

On any given day a Prem team can step up and beat another Prem team, its what makes that league so great... No sure things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Can anyone on this forum argue with logic anymore?I have to repeat myself about 5 times and put it in the most basic way I possibly can yet I find myself getting nowhere.What is even the point really.

Saying we're not title contenders if we lose to Newcastle away is Illogical... City lost to Cardiff, Cardiff are close to regulation, is City no longer a title contender?

MHL 47 378 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Can anyone on this forum argue with logic anymore?.Logic and results over the last 9 seasons tell us that we win 50% of the time we visit there. Played 10, won 5. Premier League title winning years included and since Roman acquired the club. Logic and football don't always equate. That's why Wigan hold the FA Cup.So you may follow your logical path and believe we ought to win, but we might not. Be a big boring if what we logically think will happen on a pitch always did, wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mak 4,459 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 We need to put these to the sword as soon as possible. I'm sick of them showing up against us while also getting thumped 6-0 at home by Liverpool and 7-3 by Arsenal in the same season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Newcastle started with Tim Krul, Yanga-Mbiwa, Debuchy, Sissoko, Gouffran, Tiote and Cisse - 7 first team players - against Man City in the Capital One Cup tonight. And the likes of Cabaye, Remy and Ben Arfa are on the bench.It's 0-0 at HT there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
