Shroppie Posted 2 August, 2015 Share Posted 2 August, 2015 Seconds out, round one. Thoughts? Teams? Predictions? I'm going with the team that beat Vitesse and I think a cagey draw which will largely satisfy both teams. Probably this, if Clasie is fit. If not, probably JWP with Jrod on bench.

Graffito Posted 2 August, 2015 Share Posted 2 August, 2015 I've been in France where they showed Newcastle v Borussian Monchangladbach on the box. Saw the second half. Newcastle were ok going forward but cr@p at the back, especially the centre backs, Williamson and Taylor. Run at those two with pace and we'll score.

Seems to be the consensus in the press, after pre season, that the toon are a bit better up front now but their defence is no better than last season. Time to unleash Mane on them then?

jasonb Posted 3 August, 2015 Share Posted 3 August, 2015 Reading on their forums a few are happy with the shift to a more attractive style of play. Mclaren insisting on playing it on the floor presumably. However, a few questioning their players ability on the ball and of course as mentioned their defence is still questionable with the much maligned Williamson being particularly at fault/crap. Should be a decent game to watch but one with mistakes in it. I predict an entertaining score draw as both teams try to adjust to new players. We might sneak it if we get off to a decent start and our pace up front scares the life out of them. I can't remember the last time I was optimistic of getting anything up at St James'. That win last season has gone a long way to removing the hoodoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 3 August, 2015 Share Posted 3 August, 2015 Our team is still as good as last season if not better, even allowing for the changes in the back four.

Batman Posted 5 August, 2015 Share Posted 5 August, 2015 Would love a cagey draw. I think Newcastle will be up for it with a new manager and a few new signings. With Saints playing in Europe and not having got the new CB and CM by then, I really think we'll lose. Think it could be a patchy first couple of months to be honest, but think over the season we'll do fine and be top half again. Just this place will be unbearable after a couple of losses! we could do without this ridiculous negativity. people never learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daily Star have taken that quote out of context by ignoring the question asked, the question was about if he was ready to start games not if he'll be in match day squads. Another interview Koeman did today with Adam Blackmore and he stated Rodriguez has travelled to the Netherlands and will be in the squad tomorrow and is available to play... https://audioboom.com/boos/3440439-listen-saintsfc-boss-ronaldkoeman-speaks-to-bigadamsport-ahead-of-tomorrow-night-s-europa-league-tie-at-vitesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 5 August, 2015 Share Posted 5 August, 2015 Does make you wonder, doesn't it? Has he had a reoccurrence that we don't know about? No, he has travelled to Arnhem, he wouldn't have travelled if he was not in with a shout of playing (Long and Clasie did not travel). Doubt he will start, and he will not start Sunday either, but reckon he might be on the bench. I think all that Ronald meant was that he will not be ready to start/play 90 against Newcastle.
