Monday Night Football - Leicester City v Newcastle United - SS1 - 8pm

Paully D

Very interesting one here.

Can Leicester go 5 clear at the top? Can Benitez get an immediate tune out of Newcastle?

Leicester: Schmeichel, Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs, Mahrez, Kante, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy,

Subs: Schwarzer, Wasilewski, Inler, Amartey, Schlupp, Gray, Ulloa

Newcastle: Elliot, Colback, Lascelles, Taylor, Janmaat, Sissoko, Anita, Shelvey, Perez, Wijnaldum, Mitrovic

Subs: Darlow, Sterry, Saivet, Townsend, De Jong, Riviere, Doumbia

Come on Leicester!

GLaDOS

I'd like to see Bentitez do well with Newcastle, but I hope Leicester win the league more. So cmon the fcuk Leicester!

niallo27

Rafa all the way for me, hope they hammer Leicester.

GreNoLi

C'mon leicester, put the nail in the coffin, 5-1.

D_turbo

Mon the toon

Leicester should win this comfortably.

Paully D

Shelvey as captain is a strange one. On the face of it he seems the very opposite of what you'd be looking for.

Cue winning goal now :rolleyes:

Only one who doesn't go missing in games. One of the better performers which says very little about the quality of Newcastle.

Got a bit giddy when Rafa walked out there as our manager.

Shelvey to get a card 7/4

Clean sheet for 6 points from Simpson.

Newcastle started well.

Leicester look nervous

Paully D

Newcastle pressing very high on the Leicester full backs when the pick up possession as noted by Tim Howard on NBC commentary. Interesting tactic.

Rafa also obviously fancies him, since he signed him for Pool. The deal officially went over the line when Hodge arrived, but it was all already in place.

This and the Liverpool game are the only ones I want Newcastle to lose - sorry lads, the Leicester dream is just too good!

Nice red and white tie on him.

This is the most running I've seen from Sissoko ever.

Anita not been great, Leicester back 4 look nervous on the ball. Need to close them as much as possible

M5

Mitro needs to get away from huth too. He is getting eaten alive

Paully D

Doesn't look like Leicester will be able to break Newcastle down here. Benitez has them drilled superbly already.

That_Guy

Bollocks. Good goal all the same.

Finger on the pulse as ever. :rolleyes::pac:

Moneymaker

Their first ****ing shot :mad:

Still can't defend set pieces.

Mars Bar

What a goal!

niallo27

Shocking dive for the free kick leading up to it.

M5

Fine goal, always seems to be a screamer or a fluke when required against us

Famous ladt words

PS: Ban Paully from all Newcastle threads for all of time please.

M5

.... And they are gone

Origami United

Paully D

What on earth was Taylor doing there?

That_Guy

We are crumbling...

Mars Bar

Lovely touch by Vardy but Taylor was in all sorts of bother there!

Gwan Leicester, get another

Dirty Dingus McGee

That last attack pretty much sums up Newcastle this season.

Was ni e football up to that

M5

What a waste

That_Guy

How many times will players jump all over Mitrovic before we get a foul given against them this season? Every game!!

M5

Anyway as long as we don't crumble it's an improvement

M5

Winning zero in the air

~Rebel~

Impressed with Shelvey's discipline, filling in defensive holes whenever they appear.

That_Guy

Sissoko is so fúcking shít.

Whatever about the start of the season, he has calmed down a lot but every game we have opposition players cynically fouling him and getting away with it to try and rile him up.

Outrageous

cadete

Decent first half keeping the ball reasonably well not nearly as sloppy as usual, would like to see gini or Perez closer to mitrovic as personally think he's doing well especially off Morgan,
Soft free great goal but we're not out of it at all!

09_09_09

2-1 to Newcastle.

Rafa please take Cissoko(sp??) and Mitrovic (sp??) off and Put Townsend and Doumbia (Mitrovic seems to be immobile) for the 2nd half. I think Andros pace will cause them some problem..

That_Guy

We need to take Anita off. He's offering little. Mitro needs to stay on because he's the only one who brings players into play around him when he is able to hold up the ball.

Sissoko has to come off for Townsend. The former has been complete crap.

That_Guy

The ground Kante makes up is unreal.

09_09_09

Kante is some player. Great find.

Like a French Glen Whelan

Mars Bar

And to think that Real Madrid decided against signing him because he was unknown
