OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hopefully see this... Kepa; Azpi Rudiger Luiz Alonso; Kante Jorginho Kovacic (don't think he'll start but heres hoping); Pedro Morata Hazard (still don't think he'll start maybe one more wek but again heres hoping). I think Newcastle will offer a stern test and yes our record isn't brilliant but I think if we can sort the things that went wrong in that 15-20 mins v Arsenal and go out and play with the same sort of tempo and intensity we did that game, as well as getting a similar amount of shots as we did, we should be able to get a few goals.

Its not hard at all, when you are immersed in the topics. I like to have a clear focus on options and post in detail so that others can maybe see things I have missed, or give countervailing viewpoints.

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Bit of a shit ground for us lately but a bit of context is needed, our last two visit's came during two awful periods of form (end of last season and during the 'Mourinho season') while the two prior to that was down to Pardew knowing how to play Jose tactically. We should have far too much for them this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'm delighted to have 6 points from the first 2 matches. I think we were fortunate to get all 3 vs Arsenal. We were the better team overall, but that 20 minute stretch was so bad that we could have very easily given it away. In fact, we did, but Arsenal refused to take it. Right now, as much as I love picking up these crucial points, it's not my main area of concern. I really look forward to the match to see where our progress is at. I'm really excited, we've seen some glimpses of great stuff, but personally, I think we're only 60% of the way there. If we can keep picking up points while playing under our potential, we're going to be in good shape. I really think people are underestimating our ceiling.

I can imagine that you would have no problem at all at handling yourself whether it was verbally or putting some north Londoner in their place. I'd take a Chelsea girl any day of the week. You just keep doing what you're doing! Not seen Barbara for a bit. Maybe cause Cescys not getting much game time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akgw13 867 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I worry for the opponent when Hazard & Kovacic are fully fit for 90'. Same lineup/strategy as Arsenal for me. Kovacic/Hazard come on early 2nd half to wreck the tired opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I think we'll win this game. The reason we've struggled at Newcastle in recent years is because of the shithouse tactics of previous regimes. Mourinho always tried to outshithouse Pardew. We didn't have a problem with them with other managers (other than Mourinho) at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
