Newcastle United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014/15

Moneymaker

First thing I want to see in January as well is a deal for Remy tied up.

It would be beyond infuriating if we let him slip through our fingers.

Vurnon San Benito

Think our win over Chelsea summed up the life of a Newcastle United fan to be honest.

All I can say is: Vurnon Anita.

Yup, he was tremendous when he came on. Did brilliantly for the second goal.

Tiote has been good lately though and Cabaye is an automatic pick and Sissoko had his best game in some time so where does he fit in..?

Krul

Debuchy --- MYM --- Willo --- Santon

Anita

Ben Arfa --- Cabaye --- Tiote --- Gouffran

Remy

Is what I'd play at the moment despite Sissoko's performance at the weekend.

Maybe swap Tiote with Anita.

Moneymaker

Spurs vs Brazil just kicked off :pac:

BArra

was just about to post, not liking this yellow kit, what is it third choice?

any idea why they have it on?

Duff

LOVE!

BArra

beautiful..

bad2dabone

Love it!

BArra

who is this newcastle team? the passes are flowing nicely

Shaque attack

Pressing from newcastle is making this a very enjoyable game so far. deserved that goal so they did. Reckon there'll be a few more before this is done

mike65

C'mon Newcastle.

"Don't you worry, don't you worry child. Loic Remy's got a goal for you"

Spurs problem in two stats

70% Ball Possession 30%
1 Goal Attempts 5

Moneymaker

Good performance so far. HT team talk to get through yet though.

Stargate

Tim Krul playing well , almost half-time .

Moneymaker

Hanging on there towards the end.

BArra

need another goal to demoralize spurs

Chazz Michael Michaels

we are being swamped in midfield, we need Anita on and a forward off

Dreadful second half thus far from us. Second to everything.

Tim Krul has been awesome.

Moneymaker

Tim Krul...wow.

That_Guy

Tim Krul is unstoppable.

BArra

my heart sinks whenever i see obertan

Moneymaker

Dirty ****er Dawson.

.jacksparrow.

Terrible tackle, the usual just brush it off from dawson, ah sure it's English grit.

That_Guy

Cattermole was sent off for similar last week. Horrible tackle.

Moneymaker

Cattermole was red carded for less.

That_Guy

YES!!! GET IN!!!

Duff

Clinging on for dear life the second half and Krul playing Superman again but I'll fooking take it!

Moneymaker

Delighted!

cathalio11

Not a fan, but I still love Newcastle!

Cya Spurs.

Most amazing thing about the last 2 games is Williamson and Tiote have been some of our best performers.

Who'd have thought that? :pac:

Have gotten our results completely wrong for the last 4 games. Battling performances against Liverpool and Spurs, coupled with a superb game against Chelsea have been a complete surprise, the Sunderland aberration looks even more surprising given the other results.

Credit where credit is due for the results and performances, that said, I feel we have had a fair rub of the green with the opposition hitting the woodwork in all 3 positive results, and Keanu Krul's heroics were critical aspects.

I don't think this tactic is a huge departure from what we have been doing for a year with no success. We are attempting to shut up shop after scoring. We are awful at it though. We let the opposition have WAY to many chances. The law of averages will return to bite us in the ar$e if we continue with it

In fairness it was away to a very good Spurs side, they were always gonna create chances(far too many for my liking granted) but it's not realistic to expect us to totally nullify them for 90 minutes.

We've been lucky enough granted but prior to that we had no luck at all. Swings and roundabouts.

Jaysus lads even the mackem thread is getting more activity lately :pac:

Guess we need to be doing ****e to get people talking

The tactic has cost us points on several occasions in the past. By all means attempt it against better sides, but implementing it at home, when playing sides in and around us is costing us points. Everyone knows about the dreaded HT team talk where we decide to sit back, it rarely works

Dont think we have turned any corners TBH...

Pardew is slightly in the red this season imo. The mackem result aside we are in a decent position.

The inconsistency is a serious issue but there are signs we aren't a bad side.

Those weren't there last season.

What's worrying me is all the Remy talk going around at the moment. It would be utter madness(and not at all surprising) if there isn't a deal in place where we have first option on him.

I'd also like to see us bring Tom Ince to the club, maybe a deal with Gosling as a makeweight can be done.

What worries me is that we are a Remy injury away from disaster.

Arsenal are a Giroud injury away from having to play Bendtner :pac:

Moneymaker

Nobody injured as far as I know. Might have some hangover French lads though.

Apperently Wenger was raving on about Cabaye so I imagine another bid will be coming in January. :mad:

Yeah I think so too but his head has been turned already so doesn't look good really.

Think we'd play Walcott or Podolski before Bendtner. Both are due back very shortly.

I think having Cabaye rather than Nasri made the World of difference to the French midfield. Such a dynamic performance. Not surprised Wenger was impressed
