Newcastle United Preview
Well, here we are. December 22, we're about to go into the most hectic two weeks of Premiership football, and Newcastle are playing the best that they have all season. WHOOPS! We've also got four of the most difficult matches all season in the next two weeks!! home for Tottenham, away to Bolton, away to Everton, and none other than Manchester United at St. James Park. If we come away with 5-6 points from those four games, it'll be a definite positive. At the same time - the way we're playing, there's no reason why we cant steal 9-10 points. Get some sort of result EVERY GAME. Who knows? THIS IS THE TOON!
For the Tottenham game, look. This could possibly be the most entertaining game of football all season long. Both teams are playing excellent football at the moment, and both of their seasons are in the upswing. A loss to start this crazy scheduling partition will really damper their holiday plans. So both will be chomping at the bit for the 3 points. It's up to our midfield again to supply the on-form strikers with balls. James Milner has been playing out of his skin, and that will need to continue on Saturday. If it does, it'll give Kieron Dyer some much needed rest after a ful 90 minute spell on Wednesday with Chelsea. I think we should line up with Duff, Emre, Parker and Milner in the midfield, and have Sibierski and Martins up front. This has proven a very successful lineup lately. Then, if any of the mids(or strikers) go down or play below level, Dyer comes in to mop up all the goals. Simple as that.
Another obvious importance to this game - our back four. I've got no concerns whatsoever about Taylor and Ramage in the middle. They're the ideal guys to be holding the back. Solano has been class in the back as well. And who can fault young Paul Huntington for coming from the reserves to a starting role and playing solid, smart, Ramage-style football to keep his place. In my opinion - he gets the nod even before a healthy Babayaro. We've gotten the winning attitude back because we're working as a unit, and let's keep that going.
My official prediction:
Newcastle United: 3-0 : Tottenham Hotspur
