Hii fellas, loved it, pace is one of the essential things we have been without, but now!as I previously stated wh are letting opposition come on to them now, so we may have less possession, buts it's goals that count After all. Problem now is Carroll great as an alternative sub, but he doesn't have the pace to play counter attack but it provides another alternative, we may see Antonio this weekend, at city we may need to play three not two at. Cb,, BUT I think city will change their formation so as not to get caught out at the back, looking forward to it, IRONMIKE

I do like Andy Carroll but at the moment and defiantly after sakhos performance last night I think it will be hard for him to get a start. Sakho was brilliant last night he's movement was excellent and oh my god he's hold up play was out of this world. I think the team now know how good they can be and the all had a swag about them last night COYI

We were ace last night although I did think that we were inviting them onto us a bit. However, most of their shots were from outside the box, so we were defending well.
I'm a little worried about Saturday to be honest as I always feel we can never replicate form on a weekly basis. Also Man City are a different proposition to Newcastle and we're away. Truthfully, I would be thrilled with a point at City.

SB will probably play five across the back, anyway with two in front of them, City away is one of the hardest fixtures on the list, so it's a real test, but we go in with good heart, so hope for the best! IRONMIKE

COYI64 I think you don't realise that the players we have signed, especially the pace in moses and antonio, has set us up for some fast paced quality counter attacking football. To be able to play this counter attacking style we NEED the other team to come at us and attack, and then we rinse them when they have over committed. I think SB has done brilliantly.Newcastle only has one real chance, I thought are back 4 were very solid and never really looked worried.

I have to say that it will have done Jenks a lot of good to have played last game and got a clean sheet. Bring on city.

whufc66.I agree with your post whufc66 and see the pace in the team now. It was an awesome display against NUFC.
Really all I was trying to suggest is that we need to be a little smarter against City than we were against NUFC.
We defended well against NUFC but they never really showed the creativity to open up our back line and I think Man City may have that craft.
However, Ironmike made a good point about SB playing with 3 CB against City. Depending on whether or not Ogbonna is going to be fit after going off on Monday night, I would imagine this would be Collins, Tomkins and Reid.
My concern would be Jenkinson at right back. Hopefully eh learned his lesson against Bournemouth and shapes up for this game.
A positive will be, Mangala at ther back for City looks a bit fragile and could be exploited. Hopefully, Kompany still has issues with his calf on Saturday and doesn't play either. This would leave them with DeMichellis with Mangala.
With our pace , I believe we could get through these two.
Still, we are all realists. let's pray for a win but expect a draw.

This is our biggest test away so far I'd take a draw now I think they are the best squad of players by far in the league so let's not expect to much I'd drop noble for obiang if fit he's got a ankle knock but should be ok noble gives the ball away in to many dangerous areas and Antonio for lanzini for the counter attack bit more pace COYI
