442. Why surprise?

Yedlin has no defense.

This could back fire massively if we couldn't get a replacement in. I am a bit amazed by the optimism here to be honest. I know the take over talk has raised people's hope in Jan but we are Newcastle United man, we always got the worst thing to happen. Selling Mitro and nth else to come in could seal our fate.

He dived, he got a yellow card, that's it, well justified. To say "if it is blah blah blah" is meaningless. We should be ashamed for what he did instead of defending him FFS.

He will blossom elsewhere. Nailed.

No injury and I don't care about the scoreline

He is shit, but he is the hero. Thanks Blob.

Given his performance in West Ham, 100k is massively overpriced. Of course he may perform a lot better under Rafa

I love Rafa. I really do. Or else I would treat him like Pardew.

It's time for Erdinc then.

Wow

Slimani as well.

Funds will be there. The fat cunt will give Rafa bare minimum to spend. The fund should should be enough to pay some loan fees.

We need a win against West Ham at all cost. That could be the 90 mins that determin our next decade.

I think that's the best formation for him and us. Ideally we just need to upgrade Hayden and Perez Correct, but before Jan please do not change the lineup anymore. No more 442 no more Gayle over Perez/Joselu etc.

Its worth pointing out that he looked a lot better in a Three man midfield with Perez in front of him

That said, before Jan arrives, I hope we can keep this starting 11. No more changes plz Rafa

That bicycle kick attempt is pathetic. You just gift opponent a free kick FFS.

To be fair if we fielded our team and played like this we definitely can get 3-4 more points during last 8 matches.

I think we played well, just Arsenal scored a worldie. Our team is solid and you can see the players understand each other much better than previous matches.

We actually playing quite good. Central area looks solid.

I like the lineup to be honest.

There are two problems: we got shit players, and Rafa doesn't know how to use shit players. Allardyce is the opposite: he doesn't know how to use quality players but he knows how to use shit players. The question is just whether we got enough quality players in January for Rafa to work on and survive, or not enough quality players and Rafa brings us down.

That's why we went for 442.

What is the worst ever run incidentally? Most consecutive PL defeats 15 - Sunderland (2002/03) Most consecutive PL matches without a win 32 - Derby County (2007/08) Nice one.
