Newcastle United v Stoke City - Official Matchday / Buildup Thread

Anyone listening ... how is the game going?

 

This, piled under with work and had to go into office so can't watch

How is it so far

 

Jesus, can we stop these wretched crosses? Why are we playing into Stokes hands? They know how to defend and its going to take a mistake/some magic to get a goal. If we get the one, I think more will follow. If they get the first, its going to be nearly impossible to break them down.

Oh and Tiote is complete liability, as always.

 

Cagey so far. We have been pressing a lot but it hasn't meant many clear cut chances. Stoke hit us on the break at times and have had their share of chances, although we have been mainly on top. We keep pinging high balls which are caught or easily dealt with by the Stoke defense.

 

NUFC flat, lobbing long balls into box, stoke headign them out easily, (they arent even worried about concedeing corners as we are so crap at them) Stoke not really threatening at all.. occasional breaks

We look 'ok' when we get the ball down and play it.

 

For **** sake !!!! Pardews long ball ****e again

 

Is it just me, or does Ryan Shotton look like The Dictator???

 

Decent link here lads - http://www.tugalive.eu/p/live-3.html

Boring 0-0 stalemate so far as I predicted pre game with our line up. Give it 70 minutes and on will come our game changers and then it will open up. If we nick one beforehand the attack will come off and the defensive midfield on and the game will then be totally screwed!

 

. plays like him as well!!!

 

I took this from the Oatcake and this Stoke fan sums it up:

''Why the **** do 'castle keep crossing the ball from deep, we'll clean those up all day long.''

 

where is HBA???

 

Has Pards grown a beard hoping not to be recognised in the street?

 

Why can't we play Santon in Jonas position then play Haidara at left back? Jonas just offers nothing

 

Since the Saints game we haven't scored a single goal from open play. Bit worrying really, our attack is looking toothless at the moment.

 

The changes Pardew has done at half time has made us worse.

**** player Tiote, he is a ****ing liability

 

Tiote is great

 

For ****s sake. Why did Tiote need to make that challenge, so unnecesary. We've looked toothless so far and now we need to score just to get a point. What great afternoon this is turning into.

 

just like I said Pardew is an idiot we have tried to out stoke stok at home.

 

Come on!
