Thread for deluded Newcastle fans part three ( trackers new)

Newcastle starting line-up: Hornicek, Dedic, Thiaw, Botman, Hall, Miley, Gonzalez, Elanga, Willock, Barnes, Wissa

Subs: Pope, Livramento, Schar, Bamba, Steur, Toure, Fernandez-Pardo, Murphy, Ramsey

Pope on the bench is a pleasant surprise.

Nico González will make his home debut for Newcastle United in Saturday's Premier League game against Bournemouth, with fellow new signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo named on the bench.

United welcome the Cherries to St. James' Park (kick-off 12.30pm BST) with ex-Manchester City midfielder González set to make his home bow after an impressive showing in last weekend's win at Tottenham Hotspur, while Fernandez-Pardo - a deadline-day arrival from Lille - could introduce himself to the Magpies faithful if brought on by head coach Matthias Jaissle.

The United boss will field an unchanged side after the 2-0 triumph at Spurs, meaning Lukáš Horníček is in goal, with Amar Dedić, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman and Lewis Hall in front of him.

González partners Lewis Miley in the middle of the park, with Joe Willock in front of them and Anthony Elanga and Harvey Barnes on the flanks.

In-form Yoane Wissa will lead the line for the hosts as they look for a first league win over the Cherries since 2020.

Fernandez-Pardo is joined by fellow attacking options Bazoumana Touré and Jacob Murphy on the bench, with Jacob Ramsey, Sean Steur and Aladji Bamba the midfield reinforcements.

Tino Livramento returns from injury to take his place among the substitutes, with Fabian Schär also listed. Nick Pope is the backup goalkeeper.

Newcastle United: Lukáš Horníček, Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, Nico González, Yoane Wissa, Harvey Barnes, Malick Thiaw (c), Anthony Elanga, Joe Willock, Amar Dedić, Lewis Miley

Substitutes: Nick Pope, Tino Livramento, Fabian Schär, Aladji Bamba, Sean Steur, Bazoumana Touré, Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Jacob Murphy, Jacob Ramsey

bench looking stronger which is a good sigh.

Having a bet on Reem Rak today.I thought jockey ddnt want it to win LTO,its running for a lot more prize money today so i am hoping they were not wanting the pelanty for winning.

Good luck in all your bets today lads and lets hope for a good game and result at SJP.

Half Time 1-2,and deserved. We dont have anyone playing at the top of their game and wehave too many playing poorly including both sentre halves, Miley needs to buck up as does Willock, Elanaga and Dedic when both high in the opposition  half we have no one covering that right side for counter attacks.

A good half time team talk needed...........

2nd best in every department not helped by the referee; Bournemouth deserve their lead and their pressing game is very impressive. Only hope is that they tire in the 2nd half. Defence are making loads of errors unfortunately we are good enough to play out from the back

Im not sure the ref is that bad Bish, he's better than my keyboard atm

We should have had a free kick before their 1st goal and never recovered from it; if the free kick was given they wouldn't have scored

Happy to come a away with a point after that first half mess.

Looked a lot better with Ramsey on the field in place of a rather subdued Miley and topped off with a well taken goal

Their number 8 ran the  show, class act.

We just couldn't live with their press. I thought Bournemouth at the very least deserved a point.

Agree with all of that.

Thats two games on the trot where we have a 100% strike rate with shots on  target, two on target, two goals, another game where there keeper didnt have a save to make otherwise.

Most of Thiaw's passes were nearly as concerning as the "performance" of the referee.

I wasn't convinced it was a foul in the build up to their first goal but 15 mins or so later in the same part of the pitch a similar incident and this time the ref gives a foul.

Infuriating or cheating i dunno.

Yep, Thiaw and Botman dont have a brain between them. I'm not really overly concerned about the referee mind you. We only made 5 tackles in the whole game, another concern.

Is that right five tackles ?

I must admit it is taking me a while to adjust to watching the new formation.

Elanga pulled off the ball for first goal.

Ref was serenaded throughout for his bias, or his little games, Pardo fouled gets nowt,
Barnes goal ruled out for nowt.

2 farcical goals conceded but you get them from
time to time.

Miley and nico seemed to have misunderstanding who was doing what and
seemed to be too close to each other much
of 1st half, like bad old days of Bruno Tonali.

Nico has much of ball so it was on miley to give him an out ball to progress.

Defenders never seemed to have an out ball
so coughed up too much possession.

Lovely goal from Barnes who lulled his fullback for most of half, then cut inside and
shot was a beauty.

Bournemouth could have scored more first half, and willock should have heeded us level early second half.

Pardo looks hot on the ball, and Bournemouth
settled for cheap free kicks rather than passing through us.

Deserved equaliser as once again space in front of box was exploited as it was v Liverpool.

Probably the most positive thing to come out of today was as bad as they played; they remain undefeated; Bournemouths high press worked very well for them but I can't for the life of me understand why we insisted on trying to play it out from the back so much; we played into their hands by doing this. Fair play to them though; 2 nil down and they clawed there way back

We didn't have much forward to play it long

Willock possibly too close to wissa, and so
loose balls fell to Bournemouth who were simply so much better at filling the space
behind their excellent press.

Point i'm trying to make is; after playing it around the back getting into trouble Hornicek just belted the ball forward anyway so why not just get it out of harms way in the first place

Yeah, pretty much they are looking for a gap, but
the press put them under pressure so we had
increasingly poor chances to hit it long to nobody.

Hornicek took a long goal kick first half and jasille had him over at next break and
told him to play it short.

Centre mids need to space out, to get free, as
do willock wissa,

Subs improved it.


Thing is we had height advantage in most match ups, bar our full backs, so long balls
would be OK(ish) .

I think Miley was expecting nico to go more direct, as at spurs, so maybe didn't work hard enough to
get into space to give him another option.

It's often a case that hitting it long from half way inside your half gives forwards a chance to run against high back line... Whereas goalie kicking it is heads up on half way line.

But I think jasille wanted them to persevere
with trying to beat the press, which caused the back passes and goalie punts.

So yarll agreeing we need a centre forward at last.

i dont know if we thought we had done the hard part after first 2 games but we were blatantly second best in every department in the first half.Everybody was poor.Obviously second was better but still not good enough.

Me horses were twatful inaal

Same as it ever was.

Morning.

Always been a card favourite game of mine Arsenal, Chelsea both home and away. Will miss the Cucurella Saka battle this season.
I think I will do a over 3.5 cards treble @ Birmingham, Everton and Arsenal.

good luck with that.

Be an interesting team selection for Choosday.

Don't play again after Tues until the following Monday,do you think there will be many changes ?

Aye, good luck with that Trackers.

Once again yesterdays match saw Lewis Hall with by far and away the most defensive interceptions (15) on the other side of the pitch Dedic made 4, love the athelticism of Dedic, his attacking play is fast and direct but maybe he should concentrate defending a bit more?

Can see both Livramento and Schar starting on Tuesday, Steur, maybe Pope, Toure, Murphy.

Still unbeaten!!

Might have to make this cards bet a double

Wolves og was a good un 

A cracker

frank carson in the house?

going for teminuis fox at pickled pork to get the beer money.

Pardo wissa are strikers

I think they will both play.. with them swapping in game as 9/10.

Pardo looked good the little we saw of him.



Oddly we had more possession than Bournemooth, even in the poor first half, which is possibly a good sigh
for the future, given how hard bournemooth
pressed us.

56% 1st half 60% 2nd half, of course influenced by them diving for free kicks
rather than playing through us.

Why would you do this?

No wonder they have thrown away so many points

He has possession and can hurt us from there

Chooses to attack our player to trick referee into awarding a foul.

..

Match of the day showed Jacob deing launched by one of their dive team, made much of Jacob but forgot to show Bournemouth cheat rolling around clutching his face, pretending Jacob had caught him.

only 3 cards in the first game

Adam arma sitter late on and young Neave got a couple of minutes at the end.

its a bit of fun for sky but saw that table of fans oinion on your clubs transfer window,hull/iswich fans 100% hapy with theres, MAN u/everton/arsenal around  25% of their  fans hapy,thought newcastle would be in btm 6 ,but they were 3rd with 99% of newcastle fans suposedly hapy with their transfer window

It's all relative 1tp

Awful start, but some decent prospects brought in.

Nowt you can do if they want out, reload and
cross fingers, enjoy the ride.

Ref been a little light on the cards at the arse

Plenty time left...

ye that i was wondering were fans hay/resigned to seeing players who didnt want to play for the club /shirt go,rather than happy at the players brought in

Maybe the relief of the training ground being sanctioned for planning permission was
another little boost that made fans a little
happier too.

Ask boro fans after Hackney goes or after lankshear arrives and you'd get different answers too.

I'd said before, elsewhere, I thought we had about 7.5/10 for this window.

Wissa refinding his form improves that a bit...

nealy got ma 3/2 on correct score
callenge...
end of the day,
newcastle are seite

similar to the fooking
scousers,(red ones

had rogers to be fouled and it cost me a bet.he got rolled over 3 times with free kicks awarded yet tree sox fife deemed he never got fouled during game.

not a happy chappy.

Bookies love them bets

Opta say he wasn't fouled.

Unofficial news

setback for Ewen Jaouen at Newcastle.

Having arrived this summer, the young French goalkeeper is suffering from an ankle injury and underwent a scan this weekend. He now has to consult a specialist and will already miss the next match against Millwall.

The duration of his absence remains unknown.

pope a good replacement.

same team?

New contract for  Lewis Hall.

Well deserved and it will push his value up.

Aye, well deserved.

Looking at a horse called Zimmerman in the 5.51 tomorrow night, dont know why but it reminds me of something that Trackman uses to help him walk

Just under 4 minutes for the pre match press conference for the game tomorrow so no indication of the team. Wild guess at the team. Pope; Dedic; Thiaw; Schar; Hall; Ramsey; Bamba; Steur; Toure; Pardo; Murphy

i think Hall is struggling with minor ian jury so might not be risked.I also think Nico will start,would like to see Ramsey playing No 10 behind Wissa.Cant see why not play strongest team,got 6 days recovery and need to get them used to playing together.

TT - foydc

Can't be avin  Pope shirley even if he was on the bench and Hornicek got sent off I wouldn't put him on

Two non runners, tradng odds on now ffs.

If the young keeper is injured surely he wont risk Hornicek tonight? Has to be Nick Pope in the middle of our goal?

Hornicek,Dedic; Schar; Botman, Tino; Ramsey; Nico; Steur; Toure; Wissa; Murphy.

Bit of a gamble taking place in the first, Baldings in to 5.8 from 16 in the last 20 minutes or so.

Wouldnt surprise me if we seen a pair of Mileys starting tonight.Tiger,i backed that horse last week and it had a hard race

wazzed up that won.

Hosed in pointa, nice and easy and a canny price as well.

33s on turned over at Goodwood, longest ever  sp odds on looser

Missed it,was deein the dishes

Looking at that Goodwood going I've had a speculative ew go on (books going 3 places) Independent Expert 33/1 in the 3.15

I fort he sayed tino wasn't ready to start.

Pick a 60 minute team, hope to get it done early.

Jacob or Miley junior at right back, Dedic at left?

I wasn't aware.

You might be right, I thort I read somebody reporting on jassile comment...


The swinging magpie used to take a bit of ribbing about zimmer frames,... We even found an inflatable one for him. Seems a
long time ago

@domscurr

Ewen Jaouen set to see a specialist after ankle injury picked up in training - will miss Millwall.

Could Nick Pope be handed a surprise start?

Tino Livramento not ready to start after returning from injury on Saturday.

He was in the metro centre earlier was Mr Jaouen, took the time to have a chat with my grandson and a few photos too.

TSM was a character wasn't he. Used to love his fish n chips on a Friday.

Just looking online for a wider screen TV,I can never see my horses on this won.

TSM was one of the founders, and mainstay of the thread. Nice chap.

Another nice easy winner, wish every day could be that easy.

Well done winners and hard lines losers.your luck will turn.

I remember years ago one of the older Easterbys saying always back their horses when they were running under pelanties and keep betting them till they got beat.

Newcastle United: Lukáš Horníček, Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, Fabian Schär, Nico González, Yoane Wissa (c), Harvey Barnes, Jacob Murphy, Joe Willock, Amar Dedić, Jacob Ramsey

Substitutes: Nick Pope, Tino Livramento, Aladji Bamba, Malick Thiaw, Sean Steur, Bazoumana Touré, Anthony Elanga, Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Lewis Miley

Easterby had a nice winner today. Or 2

I'd think best advice is back em when
they get backed on hear, seems a good sistern.

Funny when won of them dropped C bomb on live TV, lol.

Strang bench mind.

Men against boys the only thing that is missing is the goal; only a matter of time as long as they don't concede too many free kicks.

Seems as if the ref doesn't want us practising pelanties

Fair point; where is VAR when you need it thought their defender was trying to take Schars shirt off him

I am starting to think we need a centre forward

Hard work, 1-0

Draw next week,

Leeds away next Monday.

A win is a win; into the 4th round we go; what did Schar have to do to get a penalty

Very disapointed with last nights performance from some.I will start at the back,defence looked strangers who had just met and spoke 4 different languages.Midfield,none of them can see a forward pass apart from Nico and thats a long diagonal to the wing.Forwards,well in name only,no one in the middle to win headers for the wingers if they got a cross in.Wingers came in too narrow and full backs didnt overlap.Wissa ran about in the defensive midfield area having a competition with Nico on who could give the stupidist free kick away in the most dangerous area.Subs came on andhad to chase long aimless balls that even a collie dog would get sick of chasing.You might think i am having a go at the manager.I am not,its these brainless players who lack the talent and courage to attack in a meaningfull way.Most of the starting 11 have been here a whils now and same old failings came out again.We were crying out for Stuer to come on and make some penetrive forward passes.

All in all a good nights work though and a clean sheet is good.

Agree the performance wasn't the best however the result was achieved.
It's only four games in and players are adjusting to a new system.Do we have the correct players to play the system would be my question.Never thought I would say this but we need Will Osula back asap.

As an article in the Mag said "Millwall only gave Newcastle United fans a meagre 2,072 tickets for Tuesday night and they have sold out. This is the basic minimum 10% of capacity allocation that Carabao Cup rules dictate for away fans.

So we are going to have one of those ridiculous situations where there will be a half empty stadium and thousands more Newcastle United fans, especially those living in and around London, would have loved to have gone but Millwall preferring to have empty seats rather than away fans paying for them."

Because of the points system,only the very longstanding season ticket holders could have got a ticket. Madness.

Trackas,some numpty on here has been on about needing a centre forward for 3 years,however the wise ones tut tut it.

Who would you have gone for?

dominic calvert lewin is one of the top of my head.As i dont have a world wide scouting system at hand i can just go off what i see.the palace lad,the lad brentford got.This list is endless.

Do you think they were better options than buying wissa?

I think wissa was best buy at the time, and he had a poor season because of injury and silly beggars wanting to engineer transfers.

He's playing a bit deeper now too, and needs
players around him to get beyond him from wide positions and midfield.

Pardo and osula alongside him should be explored before spending another 70m to buy
a striker.

We wanted that guy from Portugal but he didn't want to come, then got injured.

There's not many oven ready centre forwards around these days and with increased physicality in Premier league I think fewer
fancy being battered 38 times a season and
burning out.

The scouts will be out looking as wissa is already 30.

Wissa is not a centre forward so i cant compare.Have you seen him win a header?

Seen him win headers, but he wants it to feet,... It's the future

Thats fair enough,i think we need a centre forward,you dont.no harm done ,worlds still the same place.

Osula is a handful when fit, harldly prolific but that is all we have as a No9 at present. We will have to make do for now.
You have 3 n a half months or so  to source a centre forward pointa.

Joelinton is great at winning balls in the air

If you want to punt it in the air, play him as a 10 with wissa running off him

Or play it to feet, or over the top for speed merchants to chase.

If balls in from wide were a bit better then wissa would shine.

head in hands man please someone

BDB pointa thats the answer.

We've not really had a striker jumping for the ball for some time, isak got on end of a few but he made almost zero effort winning
50/50s.

As I say Joelinton is best at it. Woltemade was fouled repeatedly and got nowt so you can't stick with that.

Mitrovic, and Shola were good at it, and big dunc, who did some great work for Shearer.

Good headers of ball who score goals... Ronaldo7 and Haaland, but even Haaland doesnt get a lot of long punts onto his heed. Kane maybe but he's not so hot at 50/50s

Wissa - afore we signed him, in his last season at Brentford:

90 shots -
43 on target
19 goals

15 headers on target (doesnt say if any of them were goals)

Fontaines tickets on sale today, members and season ticket holders, not looked at price, not my favourite type of music, but I'm told they
are very popular, and might be doing Glastonbury too.

Good to see the club trying to make more cash.

Barley just won for easterby, somebody had a nice 10k lump on a minute before the off, not me.

They do like backing their winners, and
like a punt at Carlisle, apparently.

And von Trotter in next, lol, backed just before off, I hope they got it all on after letting it drift out.

Horses seem in form.I wonder if they have anything plotted for Donny caster this weekend
