Early second goal, remember last season we scored fairly early and couldnt get a second, then very nearly conceded an equaliser near the end.

so important to get the 3 points and put the pressure on.

We always win against Newcastle.

Shhhh! Let’s hope the old ‘law of averages’ doesn’t kick in, as it did with Palace. Strong team, get our quick, incisive passing game going, take our chances and it should be a fairly comfortable win, though.

Just get the 3 points with no injuries.
We also need to be careful with suspensions - I think we have a few, including fernandinho, who are on 4 yellows so one away from a ban and with arsenal and Chelsea coming up we need full strength team available

No worries on suspensions according to Fox Sports...https://www.foxsports.com/soccer/stats?competition=1&season=20180&category=DISCIPLINE

Was there not some kind of a yellow card amnesty at the end of the year?

Win and no injuries, that's all!
Goals & clean sheets are just bonus. Energy conserve not that important since we have 5d until next match & our previous matches have been relatively easy on the legs.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Law of averages would dictate Newcastle beating us at some stage.

We were crap there last year.

Having seen Kev yesterday, pretty hopeful Newcastle will have to wait a little bit longer.

Early goal please, as usual.

------------------Ederson
Walker----Stones-----Laporte----Danilo
---------------Fernandinho
-------De Bruyne------Bernardo
Sterling-----------Aguero------------Sane

Strongest team that's available and fit, not sure which Silva to go with, I think Bernardo is a bit sharper at the moment.

Get them dealt with early, an early goal or 2 would be great. Get 1 point behind Liverpool and make them go into their game vs Leicester with a bit of pressure on them.
