Nothing to fear, we are very good when in the right frame of mind.
I quite fancy us to score two at least.
I think we can get at them down the flanks and Nick Pope has lost a bit of confidence.
Barry to get his first goal and maybe surprise us with a second.
 
Not saying we are world beaters but just cant see how newcastle are favourites with the bookies for this one. They have a poor away record this season, they have lost their main striker (Isak). They just played 2 games in quick succession so more fatigue and less recovery time. They dont have wingers of as high standard as we do. Yes slightly better striker but the rest of the team is much of a muchness.

Surely with home advantage you would say yes its close on paper but Everton are more likely to win.
 
It’s time for some consistency!
Yes Fulham and United were poor but a large part of that was our attitude and our desire to dominate them both all over the pitch! I couldn’t believe that down to ten men we still out fought and outran United at old Trafford for the full 90 minutes, it’s something I don’t think we’ve seen since peak Moyes days. Along with some fantastic passing and moving to keep the ball from garner, Grealish, KDH, Ndiaye and Barry and we have the makings of a good team.

Add some goals and we could be really onto something!


…fully expect to ‘Everton that’ this one and get beat but wouldn’t it be nice to just get more of the same and widen our gap away from the RS and United?

Think I read somewhere Newcastle hasn't won away from home so far this season....

I hate hearing facts like that on a run up to a game. Just like the striker that hasn`t scored for 18 months, the centre half that has never scored in 10 ten years then bags the winner. The commentator on Sky was just after saying that we are the only team not to have conceded from a set piece just as Spurs set up to score their first from a corner against us a few weeks back.

Real shame we won't be able to go back to Garner at RB, that was going to be the move for home games where possible I think.

Newcastle have been genuinely great defensively, going to be tough to break down, O'Brien at RB will make that a lot tougher. Time for some magic from Grealish again!

This is my concern, Moyes obviously doesn’t fancy jo’b too much at rb hence starting seamus and garner there recently. Harvey Barnes will be well up for this. Myko will have Murphy’s number on the left hand side but it’s the right that is a concern

Seamus and gana being out mean it’s near certainty that jo’b starts - typical of our luck really.

When they said on Monday that zirksee had never scored for Utd I feared the worst

I mean, ”slightly better striker” is an understatement. He has 4 in 9 in the league . Our 2 strikers have 1 in 12 between them.

The worry for us, is their pace and physicality. Our midfield is fairly slight, however Tim will help with that, but they are going to need to be fairly quick on the ball with sharp passing.

And now Gordon’s fit, they have pace in him and Barnes, and our defence is notoriously slow.

We should be favourites based on home advantage and their poor away form. Ndiaye up against burn should be where we target.
