The Bane of Your Life vs Newcastle

[Aussie Ardiles]

Think Newcastle will sit back hence the attacking lineup with Eriksen dropping back. These are the sort of games we always pass sideways and don't look threatening. That lineup has a goal threat from all the front 4, both Eriksen & Capoue can pick a pass well to get those 4 looking dangerous. It also should defensively sound enough with our best CB pairing and the in form Capoue in front of them. I know it won't happen but this is the sort of lineup I think could really do a side at the Lane by 4 or 5

Newcastle don't sit back in games, they're too shit defensively to do that. They'll have a go coming forward and that should work in our favour... Except Krul is a wanker.

Last season at the Lane, 24 shots 14 on target to their 7 shots 4 on target. They may not have been told to sit back but we definitely made them! I think it will be the same again where we will dictate possession and am afraid that we will just lack that bit of quality to pick a pass and unlock them enough and they could get us on the break

Be a Spursy day and Krul comes out to play, looking forward to it though.

The fact we have 4 attacking positions which 5 players are impressing in (Soldado was decent at city so fuck you) is a good thing.

We usually have to pick the least shit 4 to play.

Yeah that's my point. Want to give Soldado a game ahead of Ade

Kane deserves a start up front

 

[Aussie Ardiles]

He banged in 3 playing off Ade. Play Kane & Soldado together. One of Chadli or Mason to miss out

Oh I agree, but their defence is definitely weaker than last season so I have hope we won't get a repeat of last time. I might have to punch a horse if they manage it.

There is no reason The Chad should be dropped

There is no reason The Chad should be dropped

Seriously, he's been our too player this year alongside Hugo and capoue. People would be mad to want him on the bench.

 

[Aussie Ardiles]

It's a good problem to have trying to work out which 4 to play out of Kane, Soldado, Lamela, Eriksen & Chadli. That's why I took the easy option and would play them all!

Paulinho, in my opinion, certainly doesn't deserve to start against Newcastle but certainly shouldn't be written off just yet. He should be given more opportunities in smaller games and he could become one heck of a player.

Get the feeling he'll be sold within a year though.

I remember Soldado scored a hat trick in the EL too.

Alot of people have serious double standards lol

Poch rotates alot playing 2 games a week so I'd expect a good few changes against the barcodes but our squad is good enough to win regardless. Their defence is woeful and their midfield aint much better. I like how he's handling the squad as everyone is getting chances to prove their worth and come the business end of the season we should benefit greatly with everyone still being fresh.

I reckon Poch has just taken him out of the firing line so to speak. He was getting relentlessly slagged off and looked devoid of any confidence. I reckon we'll see him getting eased back in again when/if Poch thinks he's ready. If he toughens up abit he could really boss the midfield as the skill is definitely there and he's got an eye for goal and finding pockets of space in and around the box.

The "fuck you" was not aimed at you. Was aimed at the people on here hating on him.

For everyone, who like me will be at the Lane on Sunday:

 

[alijamieson]

I think I'm going to be sitting with the away fans

 

[1882]

Surely the irony can't have been lost that this (of ALL) season's kit, has every colour under the sun on it!!
surely beyond surely it would send a message out to those who deem fit to meddle, if everyone wore something slightly simpler... like this on Sunday...

I know I WILL!
