losing matic sucks. i would bring in both mikel and ramires- to play with cesc in a 3.

to replace matics size and mobility, takes 2 players it seems.

dont want sissoko to run us over.

[didierforever 7,349]

will be very interesting to see what jose has planned for us in case of matic's absence.

a pivot of cesc and rambo looks disastorous to be honest. expecting a 3 man mid or a change in our shape.

Jose has never won at St James Park

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Jose has never won at St James Park

Nor did City at Stadium of Light for the last 5 years. Time to change that. Gonna be hard though

[lucio 5,418]

2 of them, were last game of the season, after we won the league, i think

[edetarod 2,155]

a real test of character this, let's see how hungry the players are for the title

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Not worried for this match because i think they will play right into our hands.

Theres no way this Newcastle team can defend for 90mins, no shot. I expect it to be end to end stuff. What up with Rambo is he injured? Im gonna assume so, wasnt on the bench for last two games.

What i would like to see:

Tibo

Azpi-Jt-Cahill-Luis

Cesc-Mikel

Willian-Hazard-Schurrle

Costa

There might be too many risks starting Mikel and Rambo together for the first time all season, and the pivot is vital to everthing, so i wouldnt even be upset with a rambo on RW even though we have grown to dread that proposition.

Only just read that Tim Krul is out for a few weeks.

Anyone know what their second choice goalkeeper is like?

[Whiskey 173]

Tibo

Azpi - Iva - JT - Luis

Ramires - Mikel - Cesc

Willian - Costa - Hazard

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Early game..crap ground...be nice for s happy start to Saturday

He has conceded 31 goals in his last 26 games for Newcastle...

He's wife is also pregnant and due any minute. He may be forced to miss the game and Newcastle play a keeper that would have never played for their senior team before...

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Costa, Costa, Costa

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Same old team, hope all of them stay fit and ready for it.

Rotation will be made in CL, Capital One Cup, and boxing day. Right now, same old team.

Shit. Like Krul and the rest of that team.

I can already see the melt down after we drop points this weekend and city close the gap a little. Tough game. Very tough game.

City'll have a tough game too. They usually suck against Everton. Let's hope Big Rom, Eto'o and Atsu could help us.

Cesc looked absolutely nackered before he got subbed. Let's hope he gets a decent rest.
