Newcastle (H) Pre Match

How's the weather?

I reckon this is a massive game for Rodgers. We've always struggled to break packed midfields down and at home the fans will be expecting a win. Interested to see what he does. I'd like to see Praet and Tielemens on the ball plenty and plenty of quick ball movement.

Whether it's Maddison or a replacement they need to look out for Shelvey picking out through balls from a deep midfield position, I noticed how deep he played the other day, a kind of Pirlo role, playmaking but nowhere near advanced enough for our DM(s) to deal with him. Sure Rodgers is onto it though!

Newcastle tend to play a 5 across the middle, would be good to pen those wing-backs in their own half with our own wingers.

Hope Perez gets the 'ex player goal' like Justin did against Luton.

If it was Football Manager he'd score a hat trick.

Wouldn't say 'no' to that

I think Shelvey's out

Certainly don’t want a Cher of the points today. I want it all and I want it now.

Really encapsulates a Sunday you’ve gotta wash the car, read the papers, the kids are running round and you think Sunday Bloody Sunday! 😂

Hopefully it'll be like the game against them at home in 2014/15 or any of the away games since where they were some of the easiest games we're likely to have all season. Let's not dress this up, they are a honking team and need burying.

Just over an hour until the first meltdown of the afternoon. 

[Nick]

Anybody know if Madders is fit enough to feature?

Just like Matty James. Let’s see some love and understanding from our lads today

Alan Smith's pained expression at having to compliment us really riles me. 

 

**** off and accept your hospitality at Arsenal if we're that dislikable, Alan.

Poor guy's had enough injury problems without getting shot down in flames!

I reckon he will be dancing on the ceiling

More likely the 'haha you gave us £30M for that!'

So... Not the same hope then...

It's time for Dennis to shine

Serious Question alert:

 

Can Football Team selections be announced before 1 hour when the game starts?
