Match Thread Newcastle v Leicester

[Lako42]

Wouldn't trust Madders tonight

 

[taupe]

Nacho could be knackered/injured.

Yes, we're riding our luck. That's where we're at.

 

[ElsieEfsie]

Come on fellow city supporters, we are massively up against it, we should not expect anything here so basically some of you shut up whinging and enjoy what are probably our last minutes in the prem. Smile though your heart is breaking

 

[bigmattp]

At least it gives Madders a chance to get to know his teammates before next season

 

[Graz]

The change I'd make now when we decide to "go for it" would be Barnes for Soumare.

I think that change by 60 mins would be the right balance of going for it Vs keeping us solid.

Then unfortunately it's gonna have to be Daka for a centre back if we don't get ahead

 

[popillius]

Hahahahahahaha. Bring in some creativity so we don't get stuck in our own box and immediately isolate Vardy....

Man's a complete and total ****flap.

 

[Graz]

Ndidi misshit pass... But why did NO ONE try to recover it?!

Soumare has to try and get to that ball first!

 

[homer]

Evans is done

 

[Lako42]

It's all well and good defending well but to have zero interest when we do have the ball is pathetic

 

[City Fan]

Evans is done

Nah just time wasting to try to keep our thrilling 0-0

 

[give_us_a_wave]

Evans struggling.

It's all setting up for Amartey to come on & gift them the winner isn't it?

 

[Graz]

The game plan is still working

I'm wondering if Smith will try to go for this at all.

There's a big part of me wondering if he's willing to take the point tonight, and then take the gamble that Everton don't beat Bournemouth on the final day.

Because that's all a draw does right? Means if we beat Wham, Everton have to win rather than just avoid defeat against Bournemouth?

But it's a stupid risk if that's his plan

 

[homer]

Big Dan, come on down

 

[TommyK]

Ndidi aimless kicking straight back to Newcastle twice in a row...

 

[Graz]

Barnes and Daka on the hour. The plan is on.

Soumare and Faes I'd take off

Pray he doesn't take Souttar off, who's been good.

 

[Graz]

Vardy looks tired now, he'll get taken off and we stick with 1 up?

 

[Lako42]

Really don't get why we flogged Vardy during the part of the game where we had zero interest in doing anything.

 

[bocadillo]

take the gamble that Everton don't beat Bournemouth on the final day.

Last time Bournemouth were in the Prem they put three past Everton at Goodison on the last day of the season. They've also beaten them twice this season, 3-0 and 4-1. Bogey team

 

[Graz]

Vardy looks tired now, he'll get taken off and we stick with 1 up?

Vardy is off! Ha, unbelievable.

Not so much going for it then as freshening it up.

Evans off as well though.

 

[Graz]

Last time Bournemouth were in the Prem they put four past Everton at Goodison on the last day of the season. They've also beaten them twice this season, 3-1 and 4-1. Bogey team

I genuinely think he mightve decided it's the best plan.

Huge risk, but a point today could make all the difference.
