Newcastle United vs Manchester City - Sun 12th Jan @ 2.05pm (Sky Sports 1)

[Tiresias]

@CaulkinTheTimes: Wonderful from Joe Kinnear in #Nufc programme. On transfers they want "to recruit players whose futures are ahead of them, not behind."

 

@CaulkinTheTimes: Mind, I felt like my future was behind me this morning. Turns out I just had my pants on back to front.

Marv must have finally left Pardew do his wife

[Big Geordie]

Probably a 4-5-1 lineup, with either Taylor or Mbiwa at fullback.

[Pilko]

Gosling and Marveaux on the bench

 

No Shola in the 18 \o/

[r0cafella]

Gosling on the bench.

 

Another waste of space who should be shown the door

[NEEJ]

Nee Sherla. Get in!

[Si]

Marveaux is alive?!

 

Let's wait for confirmation, it could be some Weekend At Bernie's style rouse.

 

No Shola us good news though.

[Stifler]

No Shola, but when we get beat 4/5-0 it's because we had no Shola.

[LRD]

Only surprise is the bench - Gosling, Marveaux, nee Shola.

[TRon]

MARVEAUX HAS MADE THE BENCH!

 

Pardew must have been reminded he was still a squad player after reading this forum last week.

[LRD]

No Shola, but when we get beat 4/5-0 it's because we had no Shola.

 

It's alright. Santon's playing. We could have missed him in the event we get trounced but all's well now.

[Dave]

Need a captain's performance from Tiote if we're going to do anything. Worked last time, hope it does again.

[Guest Haris Vuckic]

Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany ©, Demichelis, Kolarov, Nasri, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Silva, Negredo, Dzeko

Passed a late fitness test, hope he doesn't get crocked for this match.

[Deuce]

Taylor and Williamson.

[Pilko]

Not enough in the world to describe how I feel about Taylor starting

[Interpolic]

If Haidara is fully fit then I don't understand the team selection.

[Deuce]

It does seem fitting that Taylor's first league start since the opener is against this lot.

[Wullie]

Don't like the look of the centre halves at all. And surely if you're going to play MYM at full back, it has to be RB?

[Hanshithispantz]

Taylor and Williamson will be expected to sit back like the rest of them and throw any body part possible in the way of the ball to prevent it from going into the net. Pardew will be over the moon with that back 4.

[BrettNUFC]

Spot on team, prefer hba to gouff but other that canny selection. Effort and application now needed...let's see how this goes.

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Should've gone Santon, Mapou, Willo, Haidara IMO.
