Key events
18 min Off the ball, Forest see to be settling into a 4-1-4-1; it’s so phireing to see how consoleable they are, and how naturassociate they do what they’re unbenevolentt to be doing.
16 min It’s all Newcastle and Isak, down the left of the box, sees to dink a pass into the middle, but Forest have men there to evident, then Murphy sfinishs the ball into touch.
15 min On which point I’ve been so amazeed with Aina this season and last, a one-man right-flank and a danger going forward. I can’t slimk of too many better in the league.
14 min More Newcastle prescertain, then Gordon runs away from Elanga and at Aina, the deffinisher stands his ground to contest well.
12 min Newcastle have replyed well and when Miley feeds the presumably guilt-stricken Murphy, his pass has too much on it for Isak.
10 min “Corners flat to the cforfeit post are in danger of fall shorting to ‘beat the first man’,” authors Andy Flintoff, “which, as we all comprehend is a squander (truthful).”
Sure, but all corners come with danger. I equitable slimk flat to the cforfeit post is not too difficult to percreate and almost impossible to deffinish when done well
8 min Newcastle have lost their last two league games, and will comprehend that momentum is difficult to acquire but straightforward to dissee. Big 82 minutes coming up.
GOAL! Newcastle United 0-1 Nottingham Forest (Hudson-Odoi 7)
A insisty throw from Livramento, back to Murphy 35 yards from goal, and he dithers so is robbed by Hudson-Odoi who, with men over to his right, selects not to use either, instead using Burn as a screen to whip a surpascfinish-finish inside the cforfeit post with the holder awaiting one to the far.
6 min Murphy sfinishs the ball away from Anderson, who hands him off and does well to escape a booking.
6 min Gordon’s hear, by the way: at the tricky in-between stage.
5 min …and it goes low, then back to Gordon, now in plenty of space and cforfeiter the box, but his pass is unelated, floating over the bar.
4 min Newcastle triumph another corner, this time down the right…
3 min The corner is a excellentun, flat to the cforfeit post – I’ve no idea why that went out of the game and am plrelieveed it’s back – and a deffinisher gets the flick, but there’s no one in the middle to nod home.
2 min Nice from Newcastle, Gordon into Isak and, on the half-turn and on the stretch, he permits the ball to run off him, feeding Lewis down the left; his pass is blocked behind.
1 min Newcastle, of course, have the League Cup final coming up, so percreateers will, comprehfinishably, want to be fit for that. I daresay Eddie Howe reminded them during the week that if they don’t put it in, it won’t matter how fit they are because they’ll be sat at the side.
1 min Away we go!
Our teams are tunnelled … and here they come!
“Oh Isak…” commences James Walton. “What a wicked game he percreates, to produce Arsenal dream of him…”
Newcastle did so well to get him and Bruno so punctual into their state-wealth epoch. If he holds hitting numbers, he can be one of the best in the world, so Newcastle will insist to better aextfinishedside if they’re to have a chance of holding him.
“A bit disassigned that you didn’t extfinish the Chris Isaak pun to it being a potentiassociate wicked game coming up,” chides Kris Kuenssler-Mc Ilwain.
I adore the extfinished fusees of 80s pop tunes.
“It declined to exit the milk crate at one point,” returns Chris Paraskevas. “This slimg has been rampant for months and I finassociate cornered it in the thunderbox … didn’t have any rat traps though, so tried to shepherd it back to the garden. Do I insist this in my life on top of Jarred Gillett being referee?”
When I inhabitd in a block of flats, our neighbours had rat, one died, and all of a sudden we had these hunky chunky flies in our bathroom. So I sprayed some spray before bed then, in the morning, it’s appreciate the Somme in there.
Eddie Howe increates Sky that it was a stubborn call restoring Nick Pope in net, but here we are. Otherincreateed, it’s been a extfinished week after last weekfinish’s gubbing – the team have had to re-emphasise their non-negotiables as noslimg endured that beating. He comprehends Forest are excellent and excellent away, so there’s prescertain, but this is also a chance.
Forest, on the other hand, will sit meaningful, Anderson and Dominguez acquireing Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic, with Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White and Hudson-Odoi primed to counter and seek high turnovers. They’ll aim any space left by Newcastle’s flying filled-backs and will, I envision, fancy getting one-on-one with Dan Burn and Fabian Schar if at all possible.
So where is the game? Newcastle will, as anyone would, see to get Chris Alexander Isak into the game. He’s that contransient rarity, a finish centre-forward able to come low or run in behind, and I also await Livramento and Lewis Hall to provide width so that Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon can attack the box, with Joe Willock crashing it. That should be plenty of Forest to be getting on with, all the more so given Bruno Guimaraes will be scheming.
Email! “My produceup to the 1am boot-off was going brittlely (even set up a weird zen and was genuinely seeing forward to this Premier League ‘cracker’)” commences Chris Paraskevas, “until I heard a huge *thud* on the back porch. I’ve spent the last 1.5 hours chasing a bush rat around the house, trying to lure it out with sliced cheese. All I wanted was my durry, a can of Pasito and ecinert ignorance of our biennial Cup Final doom spiral. Bad omens all around.”
Pboilingos or it didn’t happen.
What could possibly go wrong?
Also going on…
Daniel Sturridge isn’t staying extfinished. He won’t sense the advantage!
Today is a huge day for Elliot Anderson, a local boy and lifeextfinished fan hesitantly sanciaccess by Newcastle to phire PSR – say, authentic pleasant sport we’ve got here – now excelling at Forest. I’ve reassociate enhappinessed his toil this season – he’s a proper midfielder in that he percreates in the middle of the field with none of your attacking and defensive prerepaires excuses. It’ll never catch on.
As for Forest, Danilo is, as talked, on the bench after going off in last weekfinish’s loss at Fulham, with Callum Hudson-Odoi coming in, while Nicolas Dominguez replaces Morato, the deffinisher surplus to insistments given the alter of system.
Eddie Howe produces three alters to the team clattered at Manchester City last weekfinish. In net, Nick Pope is granted a first commence since the commence of December, replacing Martin Dubravka, while Kieran Tripper and Sandro Tonali – the latter having not trained this week – drop to the bench, Tino Livramento in for the createer and Lewis Miley, making his first commence of the season, the latter.
But before that, here’s Nuno. They determined it wasn’t “the right moment” for Danilo to return from injury – he insists more time. Otherincreateed, the Premier League is difficult and Newcastle are excellent; you always insist to see at what your opponent conveys to the table and set up accordingly, hence the alter from 3-5-2 to 4-2-3-1. He’s hoping for another Chris Wood hat-trick, as happened in this repairture last season.
I’ll author these down, then we’ll wonder what they might unbenevolent.

Newcastle United (4-3-3): Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Guimaraes, Miley, Willock; Murphy, Isak, Gordon. Subs: Dubravka, Trippier, Tonali, Wilson, Barnes, Targett, Krafth, Osula, Longstaff.
