Newcastle United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2022/2023

Vurnon San Benito

Every year the club gamble with squad numbers, and the man on the street can see it's destined for disaster.

Saying that, Krul has been dogshít for the past 18 months. I'm not entirely heartbroken.

cadete

Tiote and Colback start today, dummett in aswell, 3 points today and a big performance is a must, time for excuses is gone,
3-1

Tomagotchye

Do fancy a win today. Front like partnership has been getting in sync and this is winnable opposition. No excuses is right

blueser

You lads badly need the win today. Problem is; so do Norwich. If I had to pick a winner though, I'd opt for Newcastle, just. Simply for the fact you're at home. If it was at Carrow Road you'd lose, as you don't travel well. 2-1 to the Geordies.

There's more goals to come in this, Wiijnaldum & Sissoko need to be more disciplined in helping out the two full backs. A bit of control would go a long way. Toon army!!

D_turbo

Wiijnaldum is playing out of hes skin.

Mitrovic is starting to show hes ability.

Buzzing....for now

Wijnaldum is a fantastic player.

Can't see anything other than an away win in the derby next week to be honest. Six in a row is too much to ask for in this sort of game.

Tomagotchye

Sissoko had his best game for the club I have seen. Perez and Mitrovic have good chemistry

McClaren needs to spend all this week training them to defend crosses. They are atrocious at that

M5

Decent performance today. Let's hope that it was us being good and not Norwich having a mare. Still very suspect at the back

How will the 0layers react next week i wonder? They will have to fight hard like Sunderland always manage to do.

Mitrovic goal was top class

M5

Wow

Mars Bar

And he hits another one.

D_turbo

what a strike

JaMarcusHustle

Can't see him staying at Newcastle for long. Not meant as a dig, but someone will want him badly.

M5

Wonder when our last hat trick from mid field was?

Wonder also, has any team ever conceded 6 then scored 6 in their next

That_Guy

Jesus, that was one hell of a performance from the lads. Perez and Mitrovic are outstanding together. We have to keep them at all costs. Likewise with Gigi. Heroic performance.

Our counter attacks were brilliant to watch and while he's had his criticisms, Sissoko's delivery was absolutely brilliant today.

I hope we retain the same team and intensity we showed today for the game next week.

Kevin Nolan in the 5-1 derby win?

cadete

Great way to warm up for next weekend! And our next 5 games are all more than winable games, nows the time mcclaren has to prove things are changing, and get a centre back lined up for January and another holding midfielder,
Fingers crossed this is just the start of a good run of results

That_Guy

Keep that formation and retain today's intensity and we will go through Sunderland. Obviously, they'll raise their game but we have enough to beat them and end the horrible run of losses against them.

Spot on there. As well as that, a derby win after so many losses would have a hugely positive effect on the club, they mean a lot more to Newcastle and Sunderland than meets the eye. In fact, if Sunderland lose it, they are nailed on for relegation in my mind. As we've seen the last few seasons, derby results have lasting effects on the rest of the season, which really makes it like a cup final.

Some great attacking play from Newcastle today, been a long time since Newcastle fans had any real entertainment.
Some exciting players in that team and Sisoko is a really decent player - on his day.
Really hope they keep scoring highly cause as good as they were going forward, they are God almighty sucky at the back and are going to concede a lot of goals.

Lot of work to do at the back. Very sloppy. Colo is past it and I'm really not sure if Dummett is the man for LB.

Our attacking play was great today and I can take being shít at the back if we're going to take the game to the opposition and score loads of goals.

That_Guy

Lawro is a joke of a pundit. Pretty much saying that we were lucky to score some of our goals. Joke.

Still bitter that he got sacked as defensive coach under keegan (?)

I think you'll win to be honest, you're due one to be fair, but do you really think you'll get enough counter attacking opportunities against a Sam Allardyce side to "go through" Sunderland? It'll be a tight one IMO.

Exactly the same experience. Was in the pub in the Alsaa with my mam and dad. It was so quiet that day.

Colo you absolute idiot! Keeper gets the ball and you still take him out! :mad:

Moneymaker

**** OFF

Bridge93

That Sunderland team are an embarrassment to the Premier a League and we're still going to lose to them! Absolutely dominating the game and one idiotic decision will cost us again

super_furry

Definite penalty but a very harsh red.

Moneymaker

Utterly dominated and this happens. Jammy ****ing *****.

Colo is finished now. Clown! :mad:

hadepsx

Ref having a nightmare

LuckyGent88

Silly by colochini and can see why a peno was given but getting a red was harsh. The ball was in the keepers hands pretty much so no chance he would score.

Yee were dominating the game as well and looked like the only team to win the game.

The Backwards Man

At least he'll get a three match ban. Every cloud . .

Tomagotchye

Typical. Shooting ourselves in the foot when we basically dominated the half

Not a silver lining when Williamson is the man to replace him. Bad to much, much worse.

Yeah, it looked like the keeper was going to get the ball anyway so it wasn't a clear cut goal scoring opportunity.

It was a foul though. No need for Coloccini to do it and with the power of the barge as well because, as i said, it looked like the keeper was getting to the ball.

Moneymaker

That referee is a ****ing disgrace. Sunderland players fouling constantly and not a single yellow. He couldn't ****ing wait to get the red card out. Shoulder to shoulder is a red card now. Right so.

blueser

I fail to see how Collocini keeps getting picked for you guys. Every time I see him play, he's at fault for a goal. And I can't see what he was complaining about; it was a nailed on penalty.

Moneymaker

Souness thinks Fletcher gets to it and it's a penalty and a red.

Lol.

dfx-

Very very soft penalty. Certainly not a red.

Considering the blocking and grappling that you see at set pieces, that's not a penalty.

The Backwards Man

Lascelles is the man.

But even so I'd take Williamson over Colo any day of the week. Always would.

Absolutely no way. Williamson is one of the worst defenders I've ever seen in the Premiership. Still haven't forgiven him for the away game at Leicester last season

Is he any good? Not seen him play yet. Might be his time to shine.

Though, dummet to centre and haidara on will be half time tinkering

Lascelles has yet to prove himself, and I'd rather a bag of cement in the back four over Williamson. At least a bag of cement will sometimes get in the way of attackers.

Now we'll see what Lascelles can do.

M5

That was shoulder to shoulder, cant quite see how that is a penalty.

Was praising the ref elsewhere literally 30 seconds before he misses a handball, an arm across the face, deems a shoulder to shoulder challenge as a penalty and a player moving away from goal as being in a goal scoring position.

martyos121

Cattermole getting away with murder as usual. Absolute scumbag, wouldn't wish injury on anyone but I wouldn't cry to see him stretchered off.
