Newcastle Thread - 2022/23

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Honestly, I don't know how we play them together. My original thought would have been to drop Almiron but that really can't happen at the minute. Maybe Longstaff could drop our for one of Isak or Almiron and a change of playing style. Having said that, I wanted Joelinton to replace Longstaff in the middle with Saint-Maximin going on to the wing, maybe Longstaff out, Joelinton in the middle and Isak on the left. I'm just glad that I don't have to make that decision.

12 months ago it was easy saying who could come into the club or starting 11 to improve us. I'm at the stage now where I really don't know because the differences we can make are small.

Its a conundrum be interesting to see how Eddie deals with it when they are both fit. Don't know if you've seen it, but I watched a good interview with Eddie Howe on youtube about a week ago. The channel is the high performance podcast. Tyson Fury, is the latest one on as well.

I agree that it will be interesting to see how Eddie deals with it. So far everything he's touched has turned to gold. 10 more points and we’re safely on 40 points. After that we can start to think about where we can finish. Hit 40, look to beat last season’s points and position then just go as far as we can.

It will be interesting to see what Newcastle do in January. Do they spend to push on from their great start and give the champions league a good go and accelerate their project by years or will bringing in 2-3 expensive players on expensive wages disrupt the togetherness they all have at the minute?

The end of the match was like a Bruce Lee film, the players were kicking f*ck out of each other and the ref let it go. Great stuff.

I'll watch the game again tomorrow but can't remember too much time wasting, I was surprised that 7 minutes was added at the end, I guessed 3 minutes maximum.

I watched the game last night and didnt notice time wasting. A few Newcastle players went down with 'injuries' which seemed genuine. I was surprised with the added 7 minutes.
Perhaps as someone just watching a game of football without any connection to the two teams, I didnt notice.

Funny seeing the Chelsea players losing it at the end. I think the pressure is building at Chelsea lol

 

[Keeper!]

Eddie Howe is doing a superb job, he is building a very, very good side.

 

[SJT]

Yep, the white walkers are coming.

Don’t hear them moaning about city’s owners now hypercritical bastards

 

[simon23]

They are a threat...they have momentum

We’re on for a Leicester story

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Almiron always looked like a quality player lacking in confidence.

He’s probably been one of the best 5 players in the league this season thus far.

 

[tommy116]

This break for the world cup will kill their momentum, also the top clubs are being badly effected with this bloody winter world cup and players with more than half an eye on it. Think they will get top 6.

Not quite.

Leicester did it without spending a significant amount of money.

 

[Pell]

Heading to Newcastle next season, very highly rated.

Kicking a bloke on the deck is low, thick geordie cunts.

At least a few punches thrown not like these cunts jumping up and down shouting come on

We’ve done the easy work really well so far, I think it’s now a case of bringing in younger potential. Players who can come to the club and will develop into players that can add something coming off the bench when needed and can go on to become better players than we currently have in the starting 11 to push those players on to the bench. That way we improve both the starting 11 and squad depth because good established players will not want to be bench warmers.

I guess it will be easier to keep a squad happy if we can offer them European football at any level and go deep in cup competitions so that they’re at least getting game time on a regular basis.

Schar and Botman were both injured and tried to play on which is full credit to them. Schar does seem to pick up knocks virtually every game, I didn't understand where his head injury came from in the first half unless he took a blow from an elbow. It was his own fault if he did because his tackle was slightly late.

Not all of us did that but some did and you're right, they are hypocritical bastards.

The bloke on the deck and his mates started fighting with some young kids who they out numbered until they turned off Barrack Road.

The Chelsea fans had a kid on the ground beside the petrol station and they kicked the shit out of him.

They got to the pub and most of the Chelsea fans ran away leaving 2 or 3 who were given a taste of their own medicine. The lad on the floor didn't take too many kicks before our own people stopped what was happening.

Violence over football is pathetic but a 1 minute video doesn’t tell the whole picture.

Some Chelsea fans were trying to cause trouble as soon as they came out of the back of the away end. They were trying to get at Newcastle fans who were simply going home. The daft Newcastle fans only started reacting to what a minority of Chelsea fans started.
