Newcastle United (A) - Sun 21 Aug, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Only a few things to worry about in this game for me:

1) St Maximimimim cutting inside and having a crack or getting down the line

2) Wilson or other cutting through our CB pairing on the diagonal and not getting tracked/picked up by either.

There’s always the chance of a worldie from outside the box, but…!

Given that, I’ll assume they’ll try to play on the quick break and it’ll be a 3-0 victory.

Haha! We both used what it sounds like when they say it on telly!!

Or, maybe we were both too lazy to check?!

Allan Saint-Maximin ;-)

Not really a follower of Big Steve, but he did a YT viddy with a Newcastle channel and was kinda interesting to listen to ...

I would suggest you be one a follower, the guy is a great YouTuber.

Hopefully a similar performance and result as the West Ham game. Keep Guimaraes quiet and we should be ok.

Most Newcastle fans seem to accept that they are still a long way behind and would snatch our hands off for keeping the score at 2-0 but with a few moments to give them optimism. Probably a fair shout to be honest.

Our toughest game so far.

Newcastle have come a long way and are were plyingwell at back end of last season and have started well this season. Very physical side. St Maximan is a real threat on the break esp if Walker isnt disciplined enough...you dont want him running 1vs1 at our back line.

Callum Wilson is a very physical player and can cause problems and even though his goal record aint great he is a real handful and can easily disrupt us.

If Newcastle do come out and attack however it gives us more space to play on and we are more dangerous than we have ever been on transition at the moment. If they sit in and try and hit us on the break that is also dangerus so it will be interesting to see what they do

Howe is a good manager so hopefully it will be a good game

Bring them on to us and put Haaland in behind them, jobs a good un.
