I am looking forward a lot to my 1st participation in a premier league game.
I thought when we played well last year we were the best in the league We dispensed with the likes of Norwich (twice), Brighton at home and others with style.
- Shelvy suspended - 2 defenders injured
Newcastle parked the bus and thwarted us at home last year, their fans will not be happy with that approach this time around.
I think they will come and attack, suit us down to the ground.
I think we may have the top scorer at the end of the month if we don't retain top spot.
How do you think Sunday Diner will taste next week?

the danger is the wounded animal syndrome of course. us thinking we are top of the world, and them coming out fighting with everything they got type situation
but if mr wagner can keep the players heads on straight, we could be hopeful of getting something from this match

How do you think Sunday Diner will taste next week? same as yesterday, its more about us and our approach than the opposition. Palace were near the bottom last year and Newcastle were with us. The truth is we can outplay Newcastle same as we outplayed Palace. Things will change when facing the top teams but there is absolutely no fear going into this game. If man city etc play really well against us it will be down to hard work to stay in games, if Newcastle play well, we can still play better than them.. Confidence to play will be high and the work ethic is a given now..

They'll park the bus. Benitez doesn't know any other way.

We just have to continue fighting like yesterday.
If we'd faced Palace with the same mindset we went into the last six or so have of last season to the final then they would have beaten us comfortably.
What worked yesterday was that we got in their face and fought them, we bunged the ball down in packs high up the field and Palace couldn't get up to meet the challenge, it was like shock and awe.
Of course, it's difficult and we looked mentally drained until the third went in, but we have to keep that mentality if we went to win a few games, especially if as fans who don't mind losing a few along the way.

Assuming they don't sign anyone new in time, reckon big Rafa will follow the same game plan as last season, banking on Ritchie, Gayle and Atsu to break quickly on the counter
As long as we stay patient and keep our structure i fancy a different outcome this time around

Remember that their 'game plan' last time was massively helped by the terrible penalty decision and the fuck up for their second. Without that then they would have arguably had to come out more and we'd have had more space.
Regardless, with Ince Mounié Palmer back etc.. we've got a lot more going forwards this time round. If they rock up with the same game plan excepting the same result then I think they might be in for a surprise.
I can't wait!

Allowing Murphy to foul Danny Ward, Shelvey should have been red carded, as should Jack Colback. Fancy our chances, as long as long as the Ref & Officials, ref fairly, not like last year - UTT.

As exciting as yesterdays result was, lets all keep a level head. Yesterday is done, in the past. Lets focus our efforts in to the next game. Every point at this level is vital

Benitez will come under a lot of pressure if they are not out of the bottom 3 after 10 games. It could easily happen, especially after we stuff them next w/e.

No illusions every game is going to be hard.Getting too excited over a team losing players through injury or suspension falls flat when their replacements take the opportunity to impress. Hopefully Newcastle don't have the depth to replace Shelvey or the two defenders with better players

Get them balls pumped into their box. Mounie and Kachunga to score a header a piece with Mooy and Lowe with the assists. Heard it here first.
Also, how thick is Shelvey. Whats the point in treading on someone like that, it's not like he's gunna hurt him. Why not just pull a Materazzi and get a reaction off him?

Exactly this, the talk of patience above is misguided at this time in my opinion. Patience defends the point but with a new defence and keeper we're likely to have a few miscomms and mess up. Where we are now, and especially these three opening games handed to us, we have to simply go for it, fight and battle for maximum points, don't be too disheartened if we don't earn them...run ourselves into the ground so we go into the first break able to do a recovery with our heads held high and knowing that it's going to be at least a month or two before the press gets the chance to put us under the relegation microscope.

I get why people don't want to get carried away but with our fixture list we need to strike while the iron is hot against a team which will be lacking key players and a bit of confidence. Helps us maintain momentum going into tougher games like Southampton will be the following week. It's home games like that which will prove the difference at the end of the season if we come away with something.

Newcastle will be another hard game. It will be a different challenge as they will probably sit deep, play narrow and ask us to play through them. We will need to be patient, particularly if we don't get an early goal. I expect Newcastle to set up not to lose so it'll be up to us to break them down. Luckily this season we have more variety to our attack. We have a threat in the air which we didn't have last season, so Newcastle won't be able to just force us backwards and sideways. We also look much potent from set pieces, and these will be vital in what is bound to be a tough, tight game.
The one thing we must do is guard against complacency. We have to approach each game as if it is a cup final. There are no easy games, and every point will need to be fought for. The minute we stop working and taking things for granted we will come unstuck. That might happen anyway, but it should never be due to a poor attitude.
Luckily the Championship taught us to never assume anything. Whenever we let our standards slip we lost games. It's no different in the Premier League.
We, as fans, also need to do our bit and keep supporting the team, even if we don't score early on. We need to be every bit as patient as the team will have to be. Newcastle may be struggling, but they will be no pushover, and their manager is a wiley old fox. Let's enjoy the positive result at Palace and then prepare properly for the next game. I can't wait.

Shelvy controlled their game against us from deep last season.

Lets not forget Newcastle did a job on us last season at our place. Their tactics were spot and we struggle to create any chances at all.
I expect a similar game where we have all the ball bit little in the way of chances. We need to move it quickly stretch them as much as possible

The job they did on Brown last season was poor. The job they tried to do on Alli yesterday was downright thuggery. I'm fine with a hard but fair challenge to remind the opponent that you're there, but they were just kicking him up in the air when the ball was gone. The Ritchie tackle was premeditated revenge for being trodden on by the idiot in the midfield.

We need to move it quickly stretch them as much as possible But with Mounié, Ince and Palmer playing we are miles better up front than last seasons game. If they sit back we will break them down, we've improved since last season and even without injuries and the sending off I'm not sure Newcastle have.

Wouldn't have a problem with us roughing him up a bit to get a reaction which might just get him sent off. He's an arrogant wanker who hasn't the intelligence to realise that he might just be able to do something good for club and country if he could just keep his ego under control.
