We are long overdue an away win

I don't think much of Siggy going back that way either . think u gain from him central

hopefully freshens it up

..totally agree. The same goes for Rooney. The main difference with those two is that they know their responsibility but struggle to manage it. Vlasic gets sucked in and ends up chasing the game from a defensive perspective. I like Vlasic, I think he really looks the part when played centrally.

I'm not sure the club have ever gone a full 12 month period without one in the league. Just the 4 more chances to avoid the embarrassment.

yea not got the legs to try do what they need to. Effort is there but game stretched they are wasting a lot of energy getting back

Vlasic reminds me of Pienaar, think he will be a top player. Just where do you play him

..Rooney was found out in the Watford Home game when their full back kept going past him. As you say, he hasn’t got the legs to cope and nobody will know that more than the player himself.

Vlasic is clearly stronger and a more powerful runner than Pienaar but they are both creative talents. He took his goal really well in Cyprus, we don’t have anybody with that creative running power (except Barkley, who I don’t think is as an effective a finisher).

I'd like to see DCL or Niasse with Vlasic behind them. He is the most dynamic player we have in the squad right now, and he offers creativity and movement to boot. This is the perfect opportunity for him to get involved. Sound like a broken record by now, but he is the best no. 10 we have in the squad not named Barkley (who is injured/leaving).

Yedlin is absolutely lightning so no chance of Wazza keeping up with him.

This is exactly the team I would go with, Lookman deserves an opportunity in the League and Davies needs a bit of time on the side lines.

..very appropriate, it looks like a Christmas tree.

I was speaking to my Newcastle supporting friend, he thinks we will beat them comfortably. If we keep it tight, we can definitely confirm his prediction. Our players are better all over the park, they need to show their class

Or an Arrow pointing to our Goal...

I'm guessing their match prep will be to target Martina down that side after they saw the Derby, for that reason change it round there for Martina with absolutely any other player ! Robles ?
