Match day thread - NUFC v Watford
Watford (a)
The Magpies conclude their 2018 fixture programme by visiting Vicarage Road on Saturday for a non-televised, 3pm kick-off.
All tickets have been sold - allocation tbc.
Although we were successful there in the 2009/10 Championship season, Newcastle are yet to win a top-flight game at Vicarage Road in eight attempts (including four in the Premier League).
NUFC: Ki Sungyueng is unavailable after linking up with the South Korea squad for next month's Asian Cup.
Coral match betting is here.
WFC: Christian Kabasele is doubtful, after the defender collided with the goal frame during Wednesday's 1-2 defeat by Chelsea at Vicarage Road.
The Hornets are yet to draw a home game this season, winning five and losing five. Maximum point returns came against Brighton, Palace, Spurs, Huddersfield and Cardiff while Manchester United, Bournemouth, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea all emerged victorious.
Our only previous involvement with Javier Gracia before his Watford side lost 0-1 at SJP in November was when we were beaten 1-3 by his Malaga side in the Schalke pre-season tournament in Germany during 2014.

Re: Match day thread - NUFC v Watford
Can see Pereyra and Delefaou running rings around us. 2-0 loss.
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?

Re: Match day thread - NUFC v Watford
I remember playing Watford around this time of year a few seasons back in a drab 1-0 loss. Therefore I'm predicting same outcome this time around
Re: Match day thread - NUFC v Watford
I'd be pleased with a 0-0.
Re: Match day thread - NUFC v Watford
3 or 4 at the back?
No Kenedy in the squad...
I had the first custom w***
Re: Match day thread - NUFC v Watford
That'll be the 'soft' 5-2-2-1 we played against Fulham, Ritchie and Yedlin wing back and Atsu floating about doing bugger all. I hope it's a 4-4-1-1 but I doubt it.
Re: Match day thread - NUFC v Watford
Probably... but I kind of wonder if we'd be playing Schar if we were doing 3 at the back? That's why I'm wondering if it's the 4-4-2 cum 4-2-3-1. Dummett and Lascelles are definitely better in a 4 than the 3/5.

Re: Match day thread - NUFC v Watford
I agree entirely, but against Fulham it seemed almost as though he decided after he saw the Fulham lineup. Having Dummett gives him that flexibility to do either, but you're right that Lascelles and Dummett (and Ritchie, and Atsu) clearly aren't suited to it. Rafa and that.

Don't know why i'm bothering to watch this. Is there an organisation that helps fans who can't help watching their team play s*** football even though they know the experience is going to annoy/bore/depress them?

Re: Match day thread - NUFC v Watford
Benitez whinges about his squad but leaves 2 decent players on the bench... he can't remain blameless much longer.
Our fans must stop enabling his excuses - though to a degree they are acceptable.

Re: Match day thread - NUFC v Watford
One of his most annoying traits in my opinion. Frustrated me when he'd do it with Mitro waiting patiently in the wings.
Re: Match day thread - NUFC v Watford
Not sure if I'm watching Newcastle United or Tony Pulis' West Brom ...
Re: Match day thread - NUFC v Watford
Watford play the ball up and down and side to side and create problems for us in the process. We hoof it up to Rondon to hold and when we can get possession TRY to play down the wings, mostly on the right side resorting to crosses from DeAndre freaking Yedlin ...
