Sifu Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Injury news: Alan Pardew is looking forward to a fortnight without a game for his Newcastle United side, so they can hopefully get some of their walking wounded back to fitness. Already without the likes of Cheik Tiote (knee), Shola Ameobi (hamstring) and Gabriel Obertan (toe), Saturday's 2-1 victory over Everton at St. James' Park came at a cost as another trio of players suffered injuries which forced them off. Midfielders Yohan Cabaye and Sylvain Marveaux, and striker Leon Best all hobbled off during the win, to leave the Magpies' squad looking stretched to the limit. But there is now an international break, meaning Newcastle are not back in action until 19th November when they travel to Manchester City. And that gives the Club's medical staff some time to work with the players. "Cabaye felt his groin, Best hurt his toe and groin and Sylvain did his groin as well," explained Pardew. "When you get clipped like that, it opens up the groin. Two of them were identical kinds of injury. My guess is both those will miss Man City, but we will have to wait and see. "We are probably missing too many at the moment - no Cheik, no Obertan, no Sylvain, no Cabaye, no Shola - we are a little bit down on numbers, so it would be nice to get a couple back for two weeks' time."

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 "Tiredness and injuries do not excuse poor ball retention and tactics" Of course they do. No they don't. If you don't have the ball you work so much harder which will make tired players even more tired. It always bugs me when players who can clearly keep the ball and indeed pass the ball about just revert to hoofing it aimlessley. Its actually lazy and sloppy. Again, tiredness or no tiredness.

BeloEmre Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 We really need Tiote back for the City game if Cabaye's out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiredness may not excuse launching it but it does effect you when passing the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 City with no Cabaye I'm more worried about Tiote being missing, Guthrie has been better in his last 3 games than Cabaye has since he got injured for France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Not a convincing performance by any stretch of the imagination but three points none the less. Let's hope that a few of our dudes can get healthy over the international break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Just in from work, haven't seen anything, don't give a fuck about the performance. To get results at Stoke and again here against Everton in the space of a week and continue our unbeaten run is absolutely brilliant. We don't concede many and we score: that is why we're winning games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The facts are that we can score goals for fun and we rarely concede: however you arrive at that situation--total football or counter-attacking blitzes--that is how you win games. People continually saying we're lucky are missing the point: aye, sometimes we get dominated for spells, but we can allow that as we're sorted at both ends where it actually counts.
