Newcastle-Leeds 8PM

Post by tiger76 » Fri Sep 17, 2021 6:47 pm

Draw is probably the ideal outcome for us tonight, but if any of them is to win I'd shade Leeds, as they're less likely to be among the strugglers in a couple of months.

Both sides missing key men, but Newcastle have bigger problems due to Callum Wilson still being absent, Bamford is apparently fit despite the injury rumours surrounding him.

Should be goals in this, as neither defence looks watertight right now.

Leeds missing Koch, Llorente and Struijk so may play Ayling at centre back, think both teams will stay up but it is always good value to see them both creating meltdowns amongst their support when they are in poor form.

The Premier League is far richer for having huge clubs like Newcastle and Leeds, so hopefully both teams will find a way to win.

Just getting in there before DA.

Reports of ructions in the Toon camp, Brucie not at his most popular with the fans. Shearer "hating" what his old clubs become.

I think Leeds'll exploit this and at least grab a point.

Mmm, not sure. What makes them think that they should easily be finishing mid table every season and not worrying about relegation? What makes them think that Ashley should sell the club for less than what it’s worth? And then there’s the total lack of any morals by wanting to sell out to the Saudis.

Newcastle fans tend to be like most others, expecting the Owner to waste his own money on satisfying their fantasies rather than try to run a stable business.

Thing with Newcastle is they think the owner is so evil but realistically he pours cash into **** signings like almiron, joelinton. They aren’t a bad team just incompetent leadership from the manager. How much have they spent on Jeff Hendrick to sit on the bench?

The change in refereeing interpretation that started with the Euros has definitely improved the spectactle. But, yes, 2 poor defences probably the bigger factor.

To say they are supposed to be multi million pound players rahinha, James and firpo all missing there at the end of the first half was terrible. I’d you have those chances to our players I would be confident they would have scored. So wasteful.

And they got that simply because he played for Man U.

So many are brainwashed into thinking that if a player appears for a so-called big club then they must be good.

Rhian Brewster?

They forked £40m for Joelinton as well, yes sure he's got an assist tonight, but if Toon are relying on him to keep them up, they're going to be big trouble, they need Wilson back ASAP, when he's in their team they're a totally different animal.

Joelinton bagged plenty in the Dutch league, so he clearly knows where the goal is, but his confidence must be at rock bottom, and once a striker gets into a rut it's hard for them to get out of it.

And every time he misses a big chance, his price tag will be mentioned, justified or not.

The Dutch league is a notoriously bad indicator when it comes to goalscorers.

That's true. Unfortunately, the bit where you said that Joe scored lots of goals in the dutch league isn't. He's never played in the eredivisie.
Hoffenheim is in Germany - but he didn't bang that many in there. Most of his goals were scored when playing in Austria.

And willock has turned into Vernon Anita.

Every time I watch St Maximin he looks dangerous whenever he gets the ball pretty much. Great player. How on earth he didn’t get the 3 fantasy bonus points I don’t know. As said above I d have him in our team for sure.

Yes Bruce has done a decent job there, and have they really started that badly, no wins in 5 sounds terrible, but when you look at their defeats they've lost to Man Utd, Villa & West Ham, plus they've had 2 home draws with Leeds and Southampton in entertaining games.

The key for them is getting players such as Callum Wilson on the pitch, and it's not as if Bruce was given a fortune to splash in the market was he, the only player of note they recruited was Willock, who they already had on loan in the 2nd half of last season.

I still think Newcastle will be fine, however whether Steve Bruce will be given much longer is questionable.
