I am not going to a game by game update just a summary... Here we go!
####
This has been such a hard year for us. A lack of funds dictates everything and in the summer the players I could buy were very limited and this year we are fighting desperately for a top four finish. The other teams going up against us look like this:
Chelsea- They have already won the league twice in a row and show no sign of stopping now. They have the strongest and biggest squad, experience and youth and a world class manager. I am expecting them to stroll to the top of the league this year and the rest of us will need a miracle to keep up with them.
Manchester United- They also look certain to finish in the top three. They have a strong team and people struggle against them. They don't look like the team they used to be but still one of the best in the league. I will be amazed if they don't finish strongly. A top side.
Liverpool- They have had a very good season and find themselves in third place this year. New manager Aguirre has really got them going and they are one of the teams who we will be having a scrap with this year. A really good side who have a lot about them.
Manchester City- They currently occupy fifth spot and are picking up form after a dreadful start to the season. With players like Tevez, Hamsik and Adebayor they seem to be the obvious choice to finish in third or fourth spot. Our only advantage over them is a three point lead. I expect them to finish strongly this season.
Everton- They are quite a way off fourth spot after losing 1-0 to us. However, they have a strong squad and still offer a big threat to us. We will have to be careful that we don't drift off and let them catch us up.
My Predictions:
1. Chelsea
2. Manchester United
3. Manchester City
4. Liverpool
5. Newcastle
6. Everton
I just can't see us getting fourth place this year. At the end of the day, our team is awful compared to all of the teams around us. I can still see us getting above Everton though after we beat them. They are a good side but we have a big point gap over them and that should be enough to keep them at arm's length.
Our Results have been very inconsistent. Here are the top three best and worst results:
1. Newcastle 3-1 Sunderland (Delf, Sandro, Djalo)
2. Everton 0-1 Newcastle (Djalo)
3. Tottenham 2-3 Newcastle (Colo, Delf x2)
1. Aston Villa 1-0 Newcastle
2. Arsenal 3-1 Newcastle (Djalo)
3. Birmingham 2-2 Newcastle (Djalo, Dindane)
We have really shone in this competition. We did an amazing double over Roma beating them 1-0 Away and 3-1 at Home! We only dropped 2 points and won the group with ease. If only we could recapture that form in the league. Delf has shone against the less physical European sides and we have played our best football in this competition.
Roma 0-1 Newcastle (Sandro)
Newcastle 3-1 Roma (Pacheco, Maduro, Delf)
Zurich 0-2 Newcastle (Delf x2)
Newcastle 0-0 Legia
As you can see we have won all of our games expect the Legia match where I played the Reserves seeing as we were already home and dry. In the next knockout round we play Dortmund and I expect us to beat them. We could really shine in this!
Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle
Nothing to say. We were slightly unlucky but deserved to lose.
Not quite sure what we are doing this season. Really inconsistent. The player's that have shone are Delf, Sandro and Guthrie. Sandro has been the best of all scoring 4 goals, getting 4 assists with an average rating of 7.47. He is paying back his huge fee by miles. I have changed tactics to these which is the biggest news so far:
Really simple and using Max's Tactics guide and we have got some good results so far. Hopefully we can really pick up form in the Second Half of the season. I hope you keep following!
