AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Definitely, The Emirates Cup at Arsenal is a near sell-out and attracts some class sides. Two games a day over two days, it's really good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I would love to see Newcastle develop a Bobby Robson Cup. Every year or two, NUFC, one of Robson's other English clubs, and two of his European clubs. Good mix of teams and interest for the supporters. Agreed.

Pilko Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Saw the teams yesterday and thought "what's the point?" Having only four players on the bench too, two of which I'd never heard of :lol: shambles tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I've basically given up on Lascelles after seeing how slow he looked there. The trialist is probably still smarting about how he doesn't have a career in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmoset Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 He's a 21 year old CB and this is only preseason tbf. Doesn't look great from the small amount of him I've seen though I will admit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Re Perez and de Jong At the moment I can't see either starting. Not necessarily on merit/ability, but on probable formation and current squad (however, still think there are comings and goings). I'm assuming a 4,2,3,1, as default formation. I'll skip the '4' bit, as 50% of it still too worrying (fingers crossed Mbemba today). Tiote, Colback and Anita seem like the two starters and sub for the '2'. Gini is after the centre role of the '3' ( like a no. 10) he could play him on the left but given his goal scoring and preferences, I expect him to get a run where he is strongest (de Jong as cover). Sissoko (if still here) will be used on the right; Aarons pips Perez, IMO, and has earned a run in the left role. Mitrovic is the '1' - let's hope that statement proves prophetic! I WBS if Sissoko, Tiote, Cisse, and Colo departed in August. With two clear 'starters' coming in (CB and RW/CF). P.S. It's funny trying to fit everybody in, reminded me how many good players (I think ) we have. Good analysis, if I may say. I'm not sure how the attack will shape up, but even without any new signings, we do have some options. We've got to cut out shipping goals. Another CB to partner Mbemba would make a big difference, but the back four need some protection and I don't think either Tiote or Anita have the all-round quality to fill that role. One can't pass, the other can't tackle. I assume that the 'S' in WBS means 'satisifed' rather than 'sorry'. Google wasn't much help to me there.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I've basically given up on Lascelles after seeing how slow he looked there. I know, I'm normally pretty much the most patient on here. He just looked unbelievably sluggish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Great idea, actually. We should always get knocked out in the first round, though, to maintain expectations for the upcoming season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
