GRUDGE MATCH?! HOW Newcastle can BEAT Arsenal in their own back yard…& Eddie Howe in jovial mood

[@Robert.Sheard]

Arteta gets away with his rant, but Wilder gets fined 11K for moaning about a sandwich. But there’s no big-club bias in the FA.

[@MightyMa9]

Love how Keith often refers to Newcastle as 'we', always knew you loved the Toon 🖤🤍😉

[@montybrewster7]

Top stuff keith, good to have you back.

[@jamesmilligan2797]

If Toon played 3 central defenders, BDB, Schar & Botman....is their a better 3 in the prem?

[@simonconlin]

Keith, for what it’s worth, ℹ i truly believe and think you are one of the best in the business. I think you’re a Geordie at heart with a northern accent 😅. Even your hair and beard wants to black and white 🖤🤍can you play centre forward for us 😅? Gan canny wor kid.

[@House0fHoot]

*HOWAY THE LADS* & in Eddie we trust. Enjoy the ride!🖤🤍

[@robinskelton1565]

I hate how height is being used as the excuse for not playing Livramento at LB. Yes he's not 6 ft 7 but he's no midget. He's a solid 6ft tall. Just play the kid.

[@bigbri59]

It’s been a while but nice to have you back fella.👍

[@2006stephendavid]

Look forward to your vids Keith, hope all is well with you and yours ❤

[@waynegedge-cn5mm]

Missing big Joe Keith, lack of a holding midfielder worries me. Hope you’re well. 👍🏻

[@ozzy6162]

The rumour is a change to a 3 - 5 - 2 formation with Dan Burn at left back and Tino playing on the left of the midfield to provide support to Dan.

[@corronord]

you never need to apologise. hope all is well fella

[@oumuamua1963]

Why don't you ask eddie the hard questions over questions you already know what the response will be.

[@skysportskeith]

What are the hard questions you’d like asked?

[@redl1ght1]

@@skysportskeithhis bizarre insistence on starting Burn🤔

[@grahamsidney9214]

I'm sure Eddie answered this the other week. He does not see tino as a left back despite him being able to play there and believes Dan offers enough in aerial dominance to warrant his selection.

[@redl1ght1]

@@grahamsidney9214 results should be telling him other to that outlook.

[@raf7305]

It doesn’t work with Burn at left back when Willock and Joelinton are not in the team. Those guys do enough work in terms of overlapping the left wing so Burn doesn’t have to. Now those guys are not there Burn is bombing forward and leaving himself exposed.

[@darrenbaillie186]

Let’s be honest, we are getting packed in. Our midfield is physically weal and BDB will get ruined

[@johnwatson7120]

I still feel that there’s an outside chance of getting European football next season but this season for me is all about the FA cup I also think Newcastle can spring a surprise at Arsenal 0-2 up the mags.

[@kathchandler4919]

but, the winner of the FA cup gets into Europe automatically doesn't it ?

[@kevinhalligan5283]

yous always ask the easy questions in eddies press conferences

[@badofcheese]

Aye, they should wreck their professional relationships asking the same bullshit questions Kev off KZbin wants to hear about Dan Burn every week.

[@InterYamah]

Aye coz eddie would even answer questions slating his decisions or players. Eddie barely answers questions to begin with, guys a robot in pressers

[@MarkWeir-cr5tk]

Draw today would be a good result, think we have real chance in the FA Cup, might see you at Blackburn Keith. Tino has to start today

[@ninjashrimpgaming2657]

Wish we could learn more about the hall situation instead of just vagueness

[@markanderson8006]

I think this good be the biggest win of the season in PL I hope I’m wrong but could be 9-0 Dubrawka bottled this one. I just hope there is no knee jerk reaction by the Saudi owners . Don’t sack Howe he’s done a good job . PL has changed now Newcastle can’t buy the title like Man City we’re able to . So no need to sack Howe and get a bigger name in to replace him.

[@Azabaxe80]

_Desgracia_ does mean catastrophe, and that's what both that match and that fateful referee's decision were for the Arsenal. I do believe, however, that Arteta, who is a polyglot and has been working in Britain long enough to think in English, meant to say that the whole thing was a _disgrace_ . Of course, you would only care for the three points and fair play to you. I know I was expecting a more expansive Newcastle for that match and that wasn't in the cards, but that gameplay will be followed again. The difference for this match, as you very cleverly pointed out, will be the presence of Kiwior, who shockingly enough had a better game than Saliba on Wednesday, and White, as fullbacks. Kiwior is playing with confidence. Ever since the league match against Liverpool he's been given the job of a regular left back, as opposed to being forced to do a Zinchenko imitation. He's done well and I can't see a reason why he can't hold his own, at home, against whatever Newcastle throw at him. He will have, remember, the support of Rice and the two Gabriels who work on that side of the pitch. Arsenal have the best defensive record in the league for a reason. White, on the other hand, is the new challenge Newcastle will have today and one that since the new year only Porto's Conceição has been able to effectively counter. Rather than being a liability, as you suggest, White actually plays three positions. One is regular _defending_ right back, which he does pretty well, even if you don't think so. Two is overlapping wingback, which gives Saka the option of coming inside and defenders yet another problem to deal with on the right. Three is inverted fullback, which allows him to move into Ødegaard's left 8 position when the Norwegian goes deep, or play as a double pivot partner to Rice at the base of the midfield. White's versatility is an important reason why Arsenal have been scoring so freely this calendar year. The exception being the Porto match. In the EPL referees for the most part give Arsenal the freedom to establish and play with rhythm. That doesn't happen in Europe, where constant interruption of play was integral to Porto's game plan. I think (and hope) that won't happen today. PS: I have an incredible soft spot for Newcastle for a million reasons I won't go into, and if there's one thing we gooners covet from you lot is your manager.

[@georgeclarke1183]

tripier big mistake we would have been possibly playing in the final

[@whatsyourtakeonunited]

If dey play as a team they will beat arsenal fact

[@shauntaylor6040]

A very boring press conference.

[@pd1ups]

they're not beating arsenal lets face it and im a newcastle fan

[@House0fHoot]

We’ve beaten them before.

[@mattprice3621]

Spoke of Arteta! You kept asking that’s why!! You do same every week and YES ! 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ He was irritated. The same questions each week from the local media. Such as you! You asked him things and said lot questions were about Arteta, but as you just said, it was you ask the other local media doint the asking!!! I feel sorry for Eddie have done all season cos you ask the same stuff again again and again then you change the order of them! It’s a joke and a wonder why Eddie hasn’t told ya to do one! If that was klopp or Pep etc they’d have snapped and been short with ya and told ya all they’ve already answered them! But with Eddie you grill hin about the same lame stuff!
