nazza06 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Was looking into going to this as I'm in Scotland for Christmas but no transport options After our recent run we should be winning this pretty comfortably. I'm pretty confident after the way we passed the ball around yesterday and i would hope Pardew will look for a similar style in this match. I can see us dominating but only winning 1-0.

nufc4eva Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It will be Shola for Tiote and back to 4-4-2, pity as I think the 4-2-3-1 suits us nicely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Finally get a home game on Boxing Day, so it'll be great to be there. Santa hats all around! Unless Pardew is smart enough to rotate in Yanga-Mbiwa/Ben Arfa etc, I think it'll just be Shola for Tiote. 2-1 to Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Mags Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 What a fantastic chance to grab another three points. Let hope the penny has dropped with AP about possession football. Given our form we should absolutely set up to dominate the ball in this one. Alan pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Stoke won't be a pushover like Palace, but there's no reason we can't come out with 3 points. Especially considering Stoke's poor away form. 2-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Another fantastic opportunity to consolidate our position in the top 6. Getting six consecutive points against muck like Palace and Stoke is something we've often stumbled on, if we got it now it really would prove how much we've improved. I reckon Arsenal will have us too so a point here should be the absolute bare minimum, just to avoid two defeats stunting our momentum - something Pardew's squads clearly thrive off. Must-not-lose as opposed to a must-win. But we're strong favourites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I don't think possession-based is really the way to go here but I think they'll pretty much give us the ball anyway. I know some might think yesterday's style was the way forward but I just don't believe it suits us at home to 'lesser' teams, we've used it well for nullifying certain opposition when playing away but this will be a different type of match. We don't have loads of creativity in the squad and if you're going to play possession against a team like this - a side that will probably sit back in numbers and look to contain - that's important, as is having attackers that can play quick football in tighter spaces. We should start this at a really high tempo, lots of high pressing, playing at pace and taking risks. Force them into being unbalanced and capitalise. If we get the early goal, can see us getting 3 or 4. Fancy Hatem to start and produce a bit magic. 3-0 - Remy, HBA, Sissoko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
