Expectations for Newcastle

[TheSecondStain]

Can we just have a match thread early? Its clear people want to discuss the game.

Aren't you doing that now..?

Isn't it a bit early to be stoed. Buzzing yes but ............

I'm feeling quite optimistic for this game., Secondon home game of the season, Wanting to win as we didn't get the right result against WBA.

Newcastle have a few first team players out aswell, Namely, Santon, Taylor, Tiote, Colback, De jong and Cisse. So With a full strength squad we should be able to control the game.
Just need to watch out for a couple of players, Cabella, Cissoko and possibly Goufran.

Line ups

Forster
Clyne Fonte Alderweireld Bertrand
Schnierdlin
Tadic Davis JWP Mane
Pelle

Vs

Riviere
Goufran Aarons
Anita Cabella Cissoko
Haidara Williamson Collocini Janmaat
Krul.

As long as we can win the 1on1 battles we should be pretty comfortable.

Yes, but remember how well we played against Liverpool and had no luck against WBA. The moment you think a game is easy is the moment you lose. Newcastle could play into our hands by trying to come and play football...may be easier to score than against a team that comes for a 0-0 (but hopes to snatch one on the break).

We were poor against west brom as they came to park their bus, I am confident that if Newcastle don't do the same we will be ok
