Could be our ticket to CL next year or not. Whatever it is, it's sure to be a difficult ,hard fought game. If we reproduce our Liverpool form I'd back us to win. If we go back to Marescas Mogodom style, we'll get done. Expect the same team to play barring injuries, and if Jackson lifts a bit more ,all the better. Will definitely be getting up early here to watch this one. COYB !!
So what happened to the form and style against Liverpool?? Straight back to Crab Ball, walking and backwards passing. Out went the pace, passing and running that beat Liverpool. Then there is Jackson. He's done bugger all last 3 months, he doesn't have the intelligence required nor the attitude to play at this level. He cost us this game as we were all over Newcastle 2nd half but ran out of puff doing the extra work he caused. Newcastle looked bright early, but are no better than the 3 or 4 Teams right behind them in the chase. Home game, extra man, they couldn't score until extra time shows they are good but not great either. Still better than us though on the Table, and Maresca has to stop making Trump like excuses and face facts, he's crap and he's made Chelsea crap too. Will we get CL ?? Who knows, but we don't deserve it and will be smashed with this Team and Manager if we do.
I wouldn't mind getting Nunez in from Forrest. He seems to know what's up. Maresca has been a disaster. With the team we have, we simply shouldn't be this bad.
