SikhInTrinity Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 It'll be a tough game, as they have a very good first 11, it all depends on how they approach the game. But I honestly remember the second half at VP, when we had nothing to lose and went right at them with high intensity, they hated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 WE will have to play high tempo to beat them and not let them dictate. They are a good side at their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 WE will have to play high tempo to beat them and not let them dictate. They are a good side at their best. Agreed remember last season, we played a 3-5-2 in first half and were 2-0 down after about 15mins. PL changed it after H/T and that performance was the turn of our form. But they are a dangerous side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I don't think they're dangerous at all. If we aren't beating them at home we are in for another long haul season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I don't think they're dangerous at all. If we aren't beating them at home we are in for another long haul season. So Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Cisse and Remy aren't dangerous? I'd say they have a very decent team on paper but underachieved last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 They've played 3 PL games and scored once. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 They've played 3 PL games and scored once. Impressive. They are still above us in the table. So far Cabaye has not featured much as he had a 'heads gone' moment, also Remy has been injured. I don't think we should be expecting to wipe the floor with them by any means.

AvfcTheObsession Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Will Remy be fit to play vs us ? I'd say it's quite possible he could start given that he came off the bench for 20 minutes in their last game against Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Pardew will hopefully try and attack us which would suit us just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 This will be the first game where we can really judge where we are as a club. We should really be putting Newcastle away if we have progressed as a club. Defeat in the game would certainly raise some questions. Newcastle are a club in crisis and are there for the taking IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 A full strength Newcastle would give us problems but if they have a few players missing then we should have too much for them going forward. Agree with KHV that judgement should be made on how we deal with the teams around us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 This will be the first game where we can really judge where we are as a club. We should really be putting Newcastle away if we have progressed as a club. Defeat in the game would certainly raise some questions. Newcastle are a club in crisis and are there for the taking IMO Arsenal were a club in crisis, according to some people, then they best Spurs and signed Ozil. Though Newcastle haven't made any signings of note, Remy is a good striker who can cause any team problems. It isn't as simple as 'we should win this, or we haven't progressed'. Technically, anything better than a 2-0 loss is progress. Saying that, I think we'll win 2-1. Tekkers, Lowton & Remy the scorers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chap of Steel Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Really hope we win this one, especially as I'm bringing a friend from abroad to this game. Last time I took a visitor to a Villa game was the Wigan home game last year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I am a deluded fan right now. I genuinely think we will cruise to a win. Reality can wait till the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I don't sense much unity or spirit in the sports direct fc camp. Hopefully an early goal and they will implode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeroGabe Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 These are the games we should win if we are to get top half. I say 3-1 us with a benteke hat trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I actually think we'll struggle here. They're better in possession than us.I just hope that the game does offer some evidence that we can look to Gabby Weimann and Kozak, and not just rely on Benteke the whole time. 1-1 or 1-2 Newcastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 6, 2013 Our season starts here. The approach taken by Newcastle will be the approach we'll more typically see this season. I think Delph is the key in these games. If he can control the lesser sides with his tormenting energy then we'll be in good nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
