nufc4eva Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 This game will be good to benchmark where we are at. 2 defeats by teams we came up with away don't tell us that much really and we have played pretty well in the other 4 games. I expect us to nullify as usual but think we will get at them from set pieces and crosses when we get the chance. I hope he plays Gayle from the start as we need to try and get him scoring, but that means we need Shelvey in as well alongside Merino Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Wisdom from Merson ahead of this game. Liverpool could have won 10-1 in the Champions league after the chances they created the other night. With the attacking talent at their disposal they will always create chances and at St James' Park I don't see it being any different. Newcastle, backed by their home crowd will also go for it which could play into Jurgen Klopp's hands. I did initially write down 3-0 to Liverpool but I'm going to have to change my mind to 3-1 because I don't trust Liverpool at the back. However Liverpool are class going forward and I'd be shocked if Newcastle coped with them. PAUL PREDICTS: 1-3 (12/1 with Sky Bet) Let's have a closer look at this. Newcastle, backed by their home crowd will also go for it which could play into Jurgen Klopp's hands. He's obviously either not watched us this season once, trying to perpetuate the myth about Newcastle fans that "wa luv and wa damand attakin futbal lyk". Or both. I'd be shocked if Newcastle coped with them. We coped just fine vs Spurs before the red card, and that's how we'll approach this. Also funny how he said before we played Brighton that the amount of points we have right now is what we should've had given our start in terms of fixtures, despite the fact he's predicted us so far to draw 2 games and lose all the rest. Relentless cokehead mong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 They might well beat us by a couple of goals if they click on the day, but what Merson is saying is utter tosh and stereotypical of someone who has never watched Rafa before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 It must really piss them off to try and square NUFC fans preferring to lose 4-3 over winning 1-0 and us being utterly smitten with Rafa. BUT... MY STEREOTYPES Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Merson's brain probably resembles a melted cabbage. Who cares what he says. In Merson's mind, it must be possible to win "10-1" with six shots on target. Not wanting to jinx it, but we've only conceded five goals, joint fourth fewest. We are yet to concede in the first half of a game. That is some admirable "coping". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Honestly I just hope this is a good game. A point would be a good result here because they've got some firepower. I just want us to have a real go at them, on the counter attack if needs must. Looking forward to it a lot, wish I was going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 4.30?! Showing both the Arsenal and Everton games before us. Aye, just looking at the KO times. Sure they used to just do them at 12, 2 and 4 on the occasions there were 3 on a Sunday. It's because of the golf at Close House which Sky are not only broadcasting but sponsoring. The organisers weren't happy with the match and final holes of the golf clashing so the tee times on Sunday have also been brought forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Really pisses me off the total bias to the so called top 6. Just on Sky sports news reviewing the game and not one mention about Newcastle the whole review was about the Liverpool team and the formations they should play. It's as if the rest of the league don't exist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Aarons' ability based on a handful of appearances is almost like Dummett being a decent CB based on a handful of appearances. If he was better than what we have, Rafa would have him in the side. The fact is he cant even get on the bench some weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 With the caveat that Rafa, the coaching staff, probably most of the population (including primary schools), know better than me... I really like the look of Aarons. His aggression/desire, will to take a man on, technical skill with the ball, speed. I could go on and often do, but in short he looks like he could/should be a top class player. Surely, this is his year? And given their frailties, this could be his game to prove it.

Darth Crooks Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 He was good at LB I think Rafa should give it a go as it worked so well in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 You have to trust Rafa in regards to the Aarons thing. He not only sees him regularly in training, he also will have watched carefully his good display against Notts Forest. For him to still not give him a run out after that suggests to me he is lacking something to start matches. I think the best he can be for us this season is an impact sub, with Ritchie and Atsu seemingly streets ahead of him in terms of starting a game and staying disciplined to the managers instructions.

xLiaaamx Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Ritchie and Atsu won't last the whole season without needing rests/ being injured, but Murphy will be preffered to him in those situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 In the last two u23 games they've shown on nufc.tv, Aarons has been incredibly ineffective, if that's how he's training too then he's probably a long way off a first team call up.
