this has got to be RLC last chance , produce something or be sold you clown.

Happy with Lewis Hall starting

wonder if it’s a back 4 or if RLC will play rwb again 

hopefully Hutchinson will get some minutes from the bench

Down to 8th at the moment. That's not going to improve today.

Potter might have seen the criticism of pulling him out of the Jamaica squad and not playing him so he might give him some minutes today?

Need to figure out how to get a win today.  Otherwise our chances of winning the CL are about the same as finishing top-4.  KTBFFH

we all know are you blind

 

Spurs and Liverpool win, and Brentford give Arsenal a big helping hand like we did last week. 

Ah well may as well have the last weekend of the break be like all the others before it basically.

That lineup screams frustration. 
 

No width or attacking support for Broja. Hopefully no one blames him for having a poor game. 

Possibly but at the same time with a pitch as wide as SJP there may be more space throught the centre.

What are Newcastle's main tactics? If its based on width then that combined combined pitch side mean this approach could make sense.

Finding our level though

Unless he’s been using Twitter or visiting the ol’ shed end forums I doubt it. 

Having said that, given his performances at youth level and in training, there must be some rumblings within the club at some level. Seems we need to pay £60m for a Brazilian wonder kid to really put the pressure on. 

The selection says it all. They’re not up for it. 

Great to see a manager give a chance you young players who have earned the opportunity.

Nah he's still a young prospect give him another 5 seasons and he'll come good 

Presumably anyone sent off today gets an extra break after the world cup, getting Christmas off.

I am already mentally prepared for a loss today this has been a tough ground even when we were flying high in last season’s so I expect a drubbing.

I expect poor decision making, inability to pass to a team mate 5 yards away, inability to pass the ball so your team mate does have to break stride or run back for the ball, Mendy getting closed down and panicking (will probably give a goal away) and inability to shoot.

3-0 to Newcastle.

Now I can enjoy my Saturday much better.

I will quote myself my prediction still stands. 3-0 to Newcastle 

a win would cheer me up no end, cause world cup wont

Hutchinson should get the nod over Mount, good that Hall's getting time though

Why are we starting a EFL cup team in a critical league game, Potter has a different way of doing things that’s for sure 

RLC must have something on Potter

A surprise win?

Even when England inevitably flop against the first decent side we play I'm still hoping for a Portugal vs Argentina final

Aye. Hutchinson in place of RLC and Mount dropped back would have been ideal.

Spurs win, Pool win, Arsenal gaining a 5point lead, Chelsea to... This is one of those weekends when everything goes wrong.
