That's got to be the least appetising food I've ever seen. Is that concentration camp gruel?

Hot on the heels of a deeply deeply frustrating loss to Manchester Utd, we march stumble onwards into our next tangle with a United. On this occasion our old chums the Newcastle variety of United.

Where to start with our far North of England football outpost? A one club city of fanatics funded by a petro-state. The new home of our former protege turned Bete Noir Anthony Gordon. Geordie Arabia. Something about challenging equine relations. Fat blokes topless etc. Yeah, they're an easy bunch to mock.

Sadly on field we have to take the club rather more seriously. Strangely we go into the game above them in the table, albeit they have a game in hand. They've lashed cheddar on players and some of them are high quality and can hurt us. Gordon will be itching to do so. Tonali is a fabulous midfielder and has been in recent good form. I'm also fearful of Pickford's inner Mackem losing the plot against them again. Still shudder at the one game under Silva.

One can only hope their midweek champions league game against the mighty Qarabag takes its toll, which i suspect explains their league placing. Unless Everton rock up doing their best impression of Azerbaijan's finest.

That convieniently brings us back to Everton and the increasingly stubborn and frustrating Moyes. I will be gobsmacked if he does anything other than set us up to grind out a result, be competitive and stay in the game. It's maddening as I think we all suspect there's quality in the squad that could be given more license to play. Fully expected centre halves at full back and exciting sexy young talent to be benched. Poor Barry craning his neck to flick the ball on to the conspicuous lack of runners.

A grating, irritating 0-0 is my prediction.

Into them, Everton. Hoof hoof etc.

No game in hand

Totally lost trust in the manager, his team selections and his tactics, especially on corners.

Can’t see us getting anything really, but hope springs eternal. Take any kind of horrible scruffy win but would be great if we could batter the obnoxious blerts.

Hope the players put on a show for the travelling faithful, they really deserve it.

Wouldn't surprise me Nath if we nick a win here and the Moyes lovers will be out in force telling us how ungrateful we are until the inevitable dropped points at home to Burnley

So we go again. Not easy is it.
But at least we are away for this.
Up north to take on one of the most obnoxious fan bases in the land. At least its a 3pm Saturday game!

Newcastle havent been brilliant either and sit below us in the table. They have champions league to play first but with a 5 goal cushion from the 1st leg shouldn't be to taxing on them.

They absolutely spanked us at the Hill dickinson but most do. We have got good results on the road but hard to know really what we come up with.
Jake will come back in and maybe Terry George starts.
It's hard to get too excited about us right now. Someone smash into Gordon would lift the spirits a bit.
So come on blues. Entertain us a little bit and quiten this shower of arrogant horse punching meffs.
UTFT.

Nice, nails things.

I'm hoping for more out-the-blue utd and Villa style away luck/surprise/ Moyes 'grittiness and concentration '.

Oh yeah, had a 'mare there.

 

[maccavennie]

It'll be 4 centre halves across the back and 4 centre mids occupying the 5 midfield spots with about as much creativity as a nuns sex journal.

We're away though, so it certainly has more chance of working. Though I feel this will be one away game too many where the amazing away form grinds to a halt

I’m hoping for 5 players out of position this week.
It reminds of Jessie’s tips off the fast show
This week I will be mostly playing players out of position

Same team as last night barring JOB back in as RB and Tim dropping out of midfield for Garner.

Comfortable 2-0 win for the Geordies

Pickford
Patterson - JOB - JB - Mykolenko
Dibling - Garner - KDH - Ndiaye
Carlos
Barry

Moyes wouldn’t play that team in a friendly v Marine
