I am pleased to bring you the starting lineup for NUFC tonight:

Krul | Simpson, Perch, Coloccini, Santon | Obertan, Tiote, Vuckic, Gutierrez | Ba, Best.

which I 100% predicted. For once. No comments save praise needed. :)

Can’t get it in the main post, but it will be there eventually.

Coming Home Newcastle!

Bench:

Elliot, R.Taylor, Williamson, Abeid, Ben Arfa, Sammy Ameobi and Shola Ameobi.

Yeah… so not so 100% on the bench. Elliott on bench over Harper… seems strange for a home match. For any match, truly, but especially at SJP

I'm riffin:

One lonely Magpie I be
All by myself without nobody
The sun is beatin down on my baseball hat
The air is gettin hot, the beer is getting flat
Lookin for a girl, I ran into a guy
His name was Robert Bishop I said “howdy” he said “hi”

He told a little story that sounded well rehearsed
Four matches nowt a win and we’re needing three points
The lads were on the pitch, the crowd was in the stands
We need three points you score Demba and get the 20 grand.

HBA most likely for Best...

in a role that he’s generally looked lost in, encouraging lots of solo play. I still just don’t know how he fits in with what Pardew is doing right now. Not saying I don’t want to see him… just wondering if he matches the tactics now.

I don't disagree

necessarily… but Ba coming back deeper has been a season-long trend… don’t think we can blame Best for that specifically.

I just think if we have 1 striker, Ba will have to stay up more

He will come back and help when needed, but now he cant rely on Best to get him the ball, Ba is getting the ball in our half, HBA can give Ba the service he needs.

@Robert sometimes your gonna get burned it’s a part of football. We play to safe….I understand it with Perch at CB but when Colo and Steven Taylor are back there why not play a bit more attacking?
@Rockets4life Is he the manager? Or is he a care taker? You can’t make everyone happy.

by MychalShannon1 on Dec 21, 2011 9:20 PM GMT up reply actions  

If you are a manager do have to manage a team

Because egos are a part of real life wether we like it or not. There also has to be a balance between that and fitness because there are a lot of games so you do have to rotate for more than one reason. Playing young players for instance benefits us by giving a good chance of getting other talented youngsters and gives hope to our younger guys by showing them they can make it to the first team..

One last comment before I find a distraction...

this is 8 points dropped to bottom half teams in our last three matches. Our initial run was built on picking up points that we dropped last year. We have a very real problem.
