Newcastle United vs. Burnley: 6/12/25 @ 15:00 (No UK TV)

[The Butcher]

Where is Krafth? Could with a backup fullback on the bench.

[nufc123]

Must win.

[et tu brute]

I think Howe will bring Gordon back in and switch Barnes to the right

I think he will go with Gordon and Elanga.

Hard to without seeing a performance drop off.

 

Who would we go RB and LB?

 

 

I think you know the answer to that one.

 

[TRC]

A no drama take care of business win please.

 

 

[ToonAbroad]

Is this a game where we could give Miley more minutes at RB? Howe seemed impressed with him there the other week and said he'd look at it again - could be one of the only ways to give Tino a break before Trippier is back (maybe on 60 minutes if we're comfortable).

[Lotus]

I just hope they score first.....

At what point do we rotate hall and tino when we have got another 4 massive games before Xmas

Can rest one against Leverkusen and one against Fulham. That should suffice IMO.

Going to be another very tough game.

 

If this is a tough game, I don't know which ones will count as on the easier side.

This should be a routine 2-0

[Groundhog63]

Obviously it's NUFC we're talking about here but if you accept Burnley's a gimme, and that transpires, then wins against Man City, Everton, a draw with Spurs then these? 10 from 12? Haway?

[El Prontonise]

Glad to have a proper KO time.

We should aim to better our GD.

We really want to be comfortable by the hour mark. None of this high intensity 98 minute stuff.

Elanga should be used for Leverkusen away as these will be camped with 10 men behind the ball. 
 

I’m sick of fucking Murphy as well, so would go Gordon on the right and Barnes on left.

This shall almost certainly represent the terminal instalment of Eddie Howe’s tenure, contingent upon his failure to secure victory in the forthcoming fixture.

[Lush Vlad]

From reading bits online from Howe’s presser:

 

Botman out. Had an injection in his back and they need to see how he is in a week. 
 

Tonali got a bit of a dead leg. Scan all clear. Might be fit for tomorrow. IMO. A goof game to rest him with the week coming up. Maybe he’ll be on the bench? 
 

Wissa got about half an hour in, in another behind closed doors game on Wednesday. Reading between the lines. It sounds like he might be on the bench tomorrow.  

[Elric]

Gonna predict a nervy 1-0 win. Crowd increasingly anxious until Wissa is unleashed in the 75th minute to score the eventual winner.

If we want Champs League football again, an absolute must win.

[Kilcline]

I sense a nervy one too, 2-1 

[jack j]

Ideal world. We kill this off early and get the game won and make plenty subs to rest a few 

Realistically. We go 1 nil up 2nd half. Sit back and concede late from a set piece
