Predictions Newcastle United v Norwich City

After the disappointment of not getting anything from the Arsenal game think we derserved a draw.
We need to get back to winning ways.
Another 2-1 from me.
Williamson at CB does not fill me with confidence that we can keep a clean sheet. I'm not blaming him but he has struggled lately.

 

It's got a high scoring game for me, 2-2

My heart says 2-1 though.

Were shaky at the back at the moment, we looking great going forward though.

 

I'm not confident and our recent form shows why, an optimistic 2-1. Please.

 

this this and thrice this.

 

I'mnot confident either but it's time to be big, bold and stupid. 3 - 0 with one each to the Dembas and Benny

 

We've not played well in the past few weeks, but thought we put in a decent enough shift at Arsenal that deserved a draw.

Hopefully Norwich will come up here over confident after their performance against at Carrow road where we basically played with no defence.
This time around we have Colo and Williamson at CB, and although Williamson is looking shakey I'd expect him to do better than Perch and Simpson at CB.

I think we owe someone a good beating and can see it being sunday (no offence to Norwich).
Ben Arfa seems to be starting to realise how we play and is starting to buy into it, so if he starts he'll have a field day.

3-0 for me

 

We played well in the secondhalf against the Mackems and at tiems agaisnt Arsenal. We just need to do it for a full game. When better than Mothering Sunday.

Come on chicos, garcons and lads, do it for la Madre, la Mere and Mom.

 

We played some good stuff against Arsenal SB and were a tad unlucky to come away with nothing.

I don't think Norwich will come up over confident and will probably set their stall out for a draw. I just hope our guys are up for it and can knock the stall down.

 

They are a hardworking team, but have no stand out players that can really hurt you, the goals they scored against us at Carrow Rd were all headers. But we have 2 big CB in this time which should cancel that out, if Ben Arfa starts or even comes on as a sub I think it'll be to much for them.

We are a real threat up front and think we have that bit to much for them., especially when you look at the team that played that night and the positions some of those players played in:
Krul
Santon Simpson Perch Ryan Taylor
Obertan Cabaye Gosling Gutierrez
Ba Sh.Ameobi

Be a totaly diffrent team Sunday

 

So we are going for a win.
HBA should start for me he looked lively against Arsenal.
BA and Cisse to start up front.

 

All right, I've already talke myself into it.

With the two Demba's and an interested Benny we have three players who can all turn routne possession into a goal in a matter of seconds. They're backed up by two midfield marshals, the argentinian perpetual motion machine and a pretty adeqaute defence. And if you manage to get past all that there's still Krul the cruel to robb you of your goal.

3 - 0 it is

 

I think if we have the same team out as we did against Arsenal then yes I'd go for the win, if Ben Arfa starts then Cisse will have to be dropped cause Ben Arfa doesn't offer enough of a defensive side to his game which leaves us weak.

If he plays it's more of a 5 man midfield with him in a more advansed role, or out on the right wing with Obertan in the middle (if Raylor still isn't fit). I think Obertan can be more effective making direct runs from the centre of midfield rather than the wing cause he can't cross the ball. Having a bald headed alien running full pelt at you is enough to scare any defence

 

Cisse seems willing to put in a defensive shift when he starts. Doesn't put in a lot of full blooded tackles but chases, harries and closes down quite well.

Also, he limits the degree to which Norwich can commit men forward.

 

No news on Raylor at the moment.

 

Totally agree mate, just feel that if Ben Arfa starts he can't be completly relied on to do a defensive job in midfield which leaves us weak. So the only way to accomodate him is to drop one of the strikers and think Ba has a bit more experience than Cisse in the EPL. So Cisse would be the one dropped to the bench.

But can see both Ben Arfa and Cisse featuring.

 

Synchronised just won Gold Cup. Not football but great race.

 

4-0 to the Toon, call me optimistic but that's who I am =)

 

Think this game will be a high scoring thriller, me thinks something like 4-2 to us with 2 for Ba, one each for Cisse and Ben Arfa. Norwich goals from the 2 big guys.

 

3-1 Ba 2, Benni 1

 

I dont care what happens, who plays, or how we play....we just need a win. WBA away, Scouse and Swansea away coming up after.

Must win.

P.S. Benny to tear them a new ring piece.
