From Caicedo to Enzo to Jackson. He will glue everything together and bang. I like your optimism - don't get me wrong I like Nkunku and he does look special but to say"he will glue everything together" is a bit ambitious. As for for being a "grumpmeister general"...I fully agree - I piss myself off at times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, was just kidding Kev 😄 I really predict Nkunku's gonna hit the ground running, although apparently he won't play against Toon. 32 goals and assists in 36 games last season. 55 in 52 the season before that!!! Which other of our forwards have recent stats like that to back them up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To repeat Kev, Like the optimism very @martin1905 @kev61 makes a good point actually, Werner's record was very similar in the seasons before joining. Some players just do not translate well from the Bundesliga to the PL - much easier to score goals over there. Lukaku is more of a weird case though - if he wanted to stay I think he would be banging in the goals for us. I suppose Nkunku could flop and anyway I think the board has blamed too much of our failures on him being out. I just can't help thinking he's got the physicality, attitude, technicality, experience required (if we can just keep him fit..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fowler Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I heard Eddie Howe say after PSG that he wants his team to play in different ways to deal with different teams. That suggests to me they should be parking the bus tomorrow and hitting us on the break. Would be crazy for them not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud-Blue Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 This game is always fun for me. I moved to Newcastle in 2012, went to Glasgow between 2019-2022, and now back in Newcastle. While up here, I've been to 5 away games at St James' Park, which resulted in four defeats and a draw. One time Chelsea played here and I happened to be out of the city, and we won. 2-1 I believe. This is irrefutable evidence that my presence at St James' Park is deeply detrimental to our chance of success. The good news this year is that I FAILED to obtain a ticket in the away end so I will NOT be in the stadium! Therefore, we have a chance! I am, unfortunately, going to be in the city though... So I'm going to guess it'll be a draw. Anyway in all seriousness, I really can't take us getting hammered. It's always unbearable here when we do. But I guess there's no reason for that to happen is there...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
