Random Precision Posted August 11, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2023 1 hour ago, Pinebro said: I'd be surprised to see Newcastle not finishing in the top 4 again. I think similar to Man City once they break in they won't leave it. I’m happy the so called pundits aren’t tipping us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made a charge for top for last season because they weren't in Europe, I think their squad depth is still pretty poor for a CL team. Overrated. One wednesday night game every 2 week is not really that difficult to cope with. I think it's more of a psychological thing rather that a physical thing for players who are not used to play in Europe. Man City don't normally use to do a whole lot of changes to their starting eleven but their players are so used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pas5898 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Their league position, will comes down to the same thing - players mentality. Clearly they are good enough to be in the top 5/6 again on paper. However, Wednesday night at St James Park: Newcastle Vs Real Madrid would be insane, massive atmosphere - big energy. The players who are born winners will be able to follow that up by beating a Crystal Palace, Brentford the following Saturday. You can't be 5/10 percent off in the premier league.

fightoffyour Posted August 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2023 They may well improve the first 11 but spending £70m on Barnes and Livramento is anything but astute. Jury's out on Tonali too, made to look very average against us and he alone cost more than double our entire central midfield as well. Other than that looks like they've signed one 18 year old winger called Minteh for £6m, so that may well turn out to be astute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I'd definitely say we've done better summer business than them. May still come up short tomorrow at their place but it's a long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tonali is a very good player but he wont show it either until the end of the season or next season. Thats how long it took him to get going in Milan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Howe reminds me of MON decent manager over paying for above average players he’ll be successful but will always be that nearly man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Tonali is a very good player. As per @Zatman he’ll take time to get going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refs always get influenced. To be fair to the fans they showed some class when they applauded when Mings was stretchered off and were pretty quiet after that.

sidcow Posted August 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2023 Apparently hardly any of their players would get into our team and Emery has Howe's number. They'll be right up there, probably the start of a new Sky Favourite Dynasty. Already got VAR working for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
