Once again I'm sat here worried about the nxt game. Newcastle have the best defensive record in the league and they're looking like more than just a solid unit under Alan Pardew; Demba Ba is firing on all cylinders, and Cabaye and Tiote have been like Elano and Johnson were for us under Sven. But they face City today, a City team that are - like Newcastle - unbeaten in the Premier League.
Aguero, Silva, Dzeko, Balotelli, Nasri, Yaya Toure, Kompany, de Jong, Richards, Hart, Milner... the list goes on and on. Newcastle have started the season well but they haven't faced any of the so called "big boys" as of yet. City, United and Chelsea greet them before 2011 is through, so let's see where they stand in the table by the turn of the new year.
I think we're going to win this game, but we need to expect a performance like the one we faced against Everton. Will Newcastle park the bus, or will they go all out attack? We have the flair players that can break tough defences down, and should the Goerdies go on the offensive, we 're going to rip them apart if Silva and Aguero are at 50%. And Newcastle look like they're going to be stuck with Gosling - Guthrie in midfield (which hasn't gone down too well with the Newcastle fans: "If we don't have Tiote or Cabaye back for this we are honestly f****d") becayse Tiote is struggling to prove his fitness, which may cause Newcastle to take a more defensive approach.
Manchester City 2-0 Newcastle.
