Match Thread Newcastle v Leicester

[alex]

We are so good at set pieces

 

[homer]

Based on the first five minutes I predict that we are going to win this game by seven clear goals

And after twenty minutes I’ve revised this assessment to predict a 1-0 farcical shitfest with me shouting at the telly quite a lot

 

[tedfoxxx]

Tielemans really isn’t at it today.

 

[parafox]

Schmeichel doing a Neuer to save our shite defending, great

 

[Graz]

We're going to tear them apart once we get one.

Vardy has mistimed two runs against their high line. He won't get it wrong again.

Albrighton has so much space on the wing too. Definitely a good opportunity for Ünder there later too if he gets on

 

[City Fan]

We’re as threatening as a puppy.

 

[Brown Nose]

Bit reminiscent of the Palace game this.

It's this 4-2-3-1. It works from many but it doesn't suit these players very well. Maddison doesn't know where to be and Albrighton isn't a forward running threat.

Think we might to start making two threads per game @Jeff - one for optimism like this and one for the pessimists among us

 

[Graz]

Maddison looks badly hurt. Isn't that the knee he's had problems with? Suspect he will go off here

If he does, I'd put Perez on in his position

 

[SilverFox]

We’re not there yet are we. Something is missing.

 

[homer]

Maybe this is just me, but this game is absolutely ****ing rubbish isn’t it ?

 

[Brown Nose]

Maddison is fecked here. Knee looks done.

Or maybe he's making a big deal of nothing as usual . . . .

I need to balance out you negative lot!

We have a lot more quality than them,and we're only 25 mins in

It's this 4-2-3-1. It works from many but it doesn't suit these players very well. Maddison doesn't know where to be and Albrighton isn't a forward running threat.

It has been flexible over recent weeks - 4 at the back when dominating the ball and then 5 at the back when under pressure.

Today it’s been 100% 4 at the back due to the way the match is playing out, in which case we should be looking to put Perez or Ünder on for Albrighton at half time.

Leicester aren't filling me with optimisum

 

[tedfoxxx]

I’d love to know what players and medical staff talk about when there’s an injury.

Puel ball once again.

I feel like most of the Premier league games I watch are complete turd these days.
