Newcastle Birmingham Early Match Preview
Newcastle
Out: Ben Arfa, Best, Gosling, Guthrie, Smith, Perch, Williamson
Birmingham
Out: Dann, Martins, McFadden, Taylor, Valles, Zigic
Suspended: Gardner
The outplaying of Flanagan by Gutierrez wasn’t enough for Newcastle to achieve something against Liverpool. The Pardew’s side showed a little football only in the first half while their opponents were still playing at low speed. Joey Barton didn’t take advantage from the crosses directed to him and we expect a tough battle here after Newcastle have lost the abilities to play confident up- front.
Birmingham were supposed to continue with the scrappy games, fighting for their salvation. The point with ten men against Wolves is enough to keeps them out of the relegation zone thus far. Ben Foster didn’t make the best return after he shouldn’t admit the mistake for the penalty. For compensation Larsson was the man of the match for Birmingham and we welcome the team efforts in defence against the rival’s crosses. Johnson and Jiranek weren’t scared of the opponents’ style.
