Newcastle (a) - Match Thread - 03/01/2021

[Steve Earle]

Just worth a moment to reflect that our 20-man match day squad doesn't include Ricardo and has no room for Morgan, Fuchs, Choudhury, Gray or Slimani...

[Unabomber]

Some of the disrespect to Marc wow. He’s played some brutal balls to Vardy in his time. Hopefully does so today.

I thought we might see Under start but I guess a Cameo will test his Fitness without risking him from the start.

 

Albrighton offers more defensive cover that Perez which is why he gets the Nod over him.

To be fair Albrighton is playing better then Perez, is more then likely reason why!

[car1os]

Albrighton may not produce as many goals as Perez or Ünder but we have a much better record when he’s in the team than when he’s not there.
 

Still ünderrated, even by our own fans. Good team that! Come on lads, we’re due a win...

[lnkstern]

NBC is beginning to act like Sky.  45 minute pre-game show, ten minutes on Newcastle-Leicester, then the rest of the time on the 'big 6' upcoming matches.

[BigGibbo]

I hope persisting with Albrighton is Brendan's way of lobbying for a big attacking transfer in January as for a game where we expect to have most of the possession Albrighton isn't it (hope now I've said that he'll have a worldie). Still have more than enough to win this game though so 'mon the foxes.  🤞

But give you attacking options on the bench if need. 

 

 

Brendan is all about Controlling the game for 60 mins and then unleashing Under after JJ and Albrighton have run them into the ground. COYB

Albrighton should only play on the left but as Barnes is there he shouldn't really be starting against these on the other side but Perez and Under have hardly done enough to warrant a start either.

Would rather see Dennis there tbh

 

[Harry96]

Would’ve liked to see under but good team regardless

Meh - we don't even turn it on until 15mins to go

[foxinsocks]

need to keep InTouch - we have to start rolling over lower opponents.

Good advice. I just rushed me dinner ready to get tuned in at 1:30 for the build up. So far 20 mins of two clubs below us. Schoolboy error. Get in the bin Sky.

if madders goes missing that take him off at HT

Sky’s obsession with the Big Six - no matter where they are in the table - truly beggars belief.

 

[Unabomber]

Kick off in 20 mins and sky showing a zoom call with Pep ffs

[BirminghamFox]

Just put Sky on... it’s all about City!!

 

The wrong CITY

 

[hejammy]

I've just switched on sky 10 mins ago and have had a mini panic as I thought the Leicester match wasn't on there. Should have known they don't really want to talk about us when Man City and Chelsea are playing (6th vs 8th is a big game after all) 

 

Ah well, hope we demolish Newcastle and give them 2 mins to talk about us. 

[StanSP]

Tuned in to the wrong channel. They're talking about Chelsea and Man City before our game when there's plenty of time before that game later? 

[Farrington fox]

Pretty much the team I was hoping for. Can win this with the right attitude. Go foxes 🦊

I don’t watch any of the build up anymore, just turn it on for kick off and turn it back off again at full time.

I mean I’m pretty sure it’s filmed In the studio next door so hardly surprising. It’s the same producers etc.

[Tuna]

It's a good, very strong side and we should be winning this.
