Quarterfinal Match Preview
00:00:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Newcastle. We're here today to preview tonight's big quarterfinal cup match between Newcastle and Brentford in the Carabao Cup at St. James's Park. I am doing my John Mottson impersonation again because the microphone is still just as broken as it was when you will see next week we recorded our Christmas special.
00:00:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
and We have been looking around for quite some time, so it's Michael and I tonight who are going to preview this game. Probably quite a short preview, I think, Michael, because we also previewed a match against Brentford just two weeks ago, so we don't really want to repeat all of that content.
00:00:48
Michael
Yeah, probably.
00:00:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
However, how are you feeling after after the Leicester game about term this game coming up tomorrow night?
Home vs Away Performance Discussion
00:01:03
Michael
Yeah, I think most people keep coming into these three games sat and went, these are must-win games, all three of them. you know We've had numerous disappointments over the last month and you know we all still back the team, we all still back the management, but there's only a certain there's a certain point where you look at results and go, right, okay, this isn't really adding up. And Brentford,
00:01:26
Michael
yeah We'll go into it a bit more, but they beat us 4-2 and we were the toughest opposition they'd played at home. So you were sort of expecting their brilliant run at home to have ended or at least come close to ending, but we didn't look anything like doing that. So I think a bit of positivity now after the Leicester win, I think we're expecting a much tougher game. We didn't get that. We'll definitely get that in the cup against Brentford. And then who knows, we might even be able to carry that into next week, well, the weekend.
00:01:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't want to start discussing it just with you, Michael, uh, with an argument. However, I would, I would take issue with, I mean, I agree with you by the end of the bread for game.
00:02:03
Michael
Oh.
00:02:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
We were looked a sorry bunch. Didn't have a clue what we were doing. And we were well beaten for two could should easily have been five. We were dreadful in that second half at half time. I think we'd had so many chances we could have been.
00:02:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
because we scored three or four goals in that first half and we gave them their two goals with some really, really sloppy play in defence. Not just by one player, it wasn't a single error, it was a catalogue of errors twice really that but got them into the lead twice.
00:02:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I was, I'm encouraged for tomorrow night's game by several things.
00:02:42
Michael
Yeah.
00:02:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Firstly, our first half half performance against them, because I thought we were by far the the better team.
00:02:53
Michael
It was good.
00:02:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm encouraged by the fact that we managed to play 90 minutes against Leicester without making some defensive howler, which allowed them to score.
00:03:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
But also, and this is the most.
00:03:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
The most craziest record that Brentford have best home record in the Premier League, but the worst away record in the Premier League.
00:03:21
Michael
Yeah.
00:03:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Correct me if I'm wrong, I still think they've only picked up one point away from home.
00:03:29
Michael
No, you're absolutely correct. One point away from home. And I think it was against pretty drab opposition, if I remember.
00:03:39
Michael
Oh, it was Everton. was a way to Everton. so if you listen to the Christmas special next week, you'll understand just how we feel about Everton. But yeah, it was it was a really poor game.
00:03:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sorry, everything.
00:03:51
Michael
It was a really poor game between Everton and Brentford. you know we We wanted more from what and what we got. But you are right. First half was positive. There are reasons to be positive. And I don't think that we saw anything from Brentford that would say, oh, they're going to be really dangerous, as you say. We gifted them the goals, but it does have to be said there were two fantastic finishes for the first two goals.
00:04:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, I think if we are not on our game, they could be really dangerous because I'm a big fan of Mbuemo.
00:04:24
Michael
Yes.
00:04:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm a big fan of Wisser.
00:04:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then the Shada guy who scored a hat trick the match before they played Newcastle, he came on and took his scored the fourth goal and took it really, really well.
00:04:30
Michael
Yes.
00:04:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
So they've they're potent upfront at home.
00:04:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
But as you can see, that point to away at Everton was a drab, goalless draw. And I know having having backed players to have shots in the Chelsea-Brenford game on Sunday, that Waymo was substituted without taking a shot.
00:04:40
Michael
Yeah.
Team Strategy and Rotations
00:04:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Wisser scored the constellation in injury time, didn't he? But that was the second shot.
00:05:00
Michael
Yeah.
00:05:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
So far less potent away from home, I think. and So yeah, it's a massive, massive game. I think I agree with you. I think this is the second in a trilogy of games that could put us back on track to have a very exciting second half to the season. from According to plan, uh, with a four nil win against Lester could have been eight easily. Uh, this is the second one, which could put us into a semi-final to look forward to at the start of February.
00:05:37
Michael
It'll be something like that, yeah.
00:05:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
with With those two results under our belt, you'd hope that we could go down to Ipswich. You haven't won at home yet this season. And not be the yeah typical Newcastle fall guys and lose one more, actually.
00:05:51
Michael
Happens every time.
00:05:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think that's down to attitude. And I'm really encouraged by the attitude that I saw when they played Leicester.
00:05:58
Michael
Yeah.
00:06:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Now, I think there'll be one or two changes to the the team. But I'm going to stop there and ask you to do the Zengaster advert, please, Michael. And we we're having some short parts today because we're not doing the full whole half-hour.
00:06:18
Michael
Yep, absolutely fantastic. So do you have a story to tell that the world needs to hear? Have you struggled with reaching new audiences that are engaged with your story? It might be time for you to start a podcast. Let me tell you about a platform we use here at the Global Sports Podcast Network.

00:06:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it's fair to say, Michael, that that is far more likely to have the phones ringing off the walls at Zencaster than the one that Nick and Joe recorded in our Christmas special. You'll have to listen out to it on boxing all on Christmas Eve for an hour-long Christmas special.
00:07:13
Michael
It was absolutely tremendous.
00:07:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
All five of us took part. There was some football talked about, but mainly it was a very self-indulgent laugh between the five of us. But hey, you might enjoy that.
00:07:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes. so Team lineup, what do you think? I am absolutely delighted to report that Lewis Miley played for the under 23's last night but came off at half time.
00:07:37
Michael
Yep. Oh.
00:07:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I think that is flagging up that Lewis was proving his fitness so that he could be at least on the bench and get his first half at least of first team football this season, which I've been calling for.
00:07:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Other than that, I'm not sure we're going to see a lot of changes. I think this is a game that Eddie's going to want to put his first choice 11 out in. I don't think he's going to be resting anybody.
00:08:05
Michael
Yeah.
00:08:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
But what do you think, Michael?
00:08:10
Michael
Yeah, I think it's I think I completely agree with you, to be honest. I think if there's going to be changes, it probably will be on Saturday or Sunday, which I think the switch games on Saturday. And I think it'll be in that game where maybe we decide to introduce the likes of long staff, maybe Lloyd Kelly, if Danburn or someone needs a rest. obviously Sven Botman is coming back as well, played minutes last night look very good from what the journalists at the ground said. So we could even see the emergence of swan botment if if the well that would be at the weekend so i think but i think for wednesday i think we're looking at probably the same team pretty much that played chelsea so obviously you'll have debravka in for pope craft injured as well so it'll be probably livermenno tripia is probably your biggest
00:09:01
Michael
question of who should play. I would say in a game where we're going to have more of the ball, I'd like to see Trippier play. And then Sharpen, Lewis Hall, maybe we don't see Tenali and Bruno. I'd like to. I'd like them both to start again, because I thought they were fantastic against Leicester. then well definite I think we'll definitely see Joe Linton, because he's ah ah suspended for the weekend. So why wouldn't you give him as many minutes in midweek as you can?
00:09:29
Michael
And then up front, I think you might see Harvey Barnes. I think Gordon, as well as he played against Leicester, this is the one of those games where you can rely on Barnes, give Gordon a little bit of a break, and then still play Alexander Rizak and Jacob Murphy alongside. So you've still got that balance that we had against Leicester, but you're able to rotate some of the key players and still have strength. I think if we were looking at changing players let's say Bruno out for long staff that's a big drop in quality but I think Gordon for Barnes that's one that you can still maintain in ah in in a big game and still get the same results I believe.
00:10:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Interesting, interesting. I, I would suggest, uh, I suggest that Gordon would start because I think that what, how in Tyndall will want to do is to put this game to bed in the first hour, like they did against Lester, because that gave him so much scope to be able to, I mean, Bruno came off after 62 minutes.
00:10:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Uh, Gordon, uh, wasn't very, very far behind that.
00:10:30
Michael
yeah
00:10:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Osula, of course, got his 20 odd minutes to play there as well. So I, I think if we can get two or three goals ahead after about 60, 65 minutes, and that would require, I think our first choice, 11, play in the first half like they did at Brentford.
00:10:48
Michael
Yeah. 100%.
00:10:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Then he's got the opportunity to take players off ah ah and and give them half an hour off so that they're nice and fresh for the first team to turn out against Ipswich. You're absolutely right. Joe Linton won't play against Ipswich. He's suspended. but then, you know, maybe he's got some choices there. Maybe Willick, maybe Longstaff, maybe Miley, if Miley can get on for the second half to tomorrow night and do what I think he can do, which is forward passes the way that Tenali and Bruno do when they're playing together and not from side to side, to side, to side, to side, to side, like Sean Longstaff.
00:11:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Anyway, I think that probably previews where we we are with with who the the team is. The crowd, of course, it's a Wednesday night game.
00:11:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
The lights are on. I'm hoping that everybody is up for the cup. We usually are. I was at Bournemouth and Leicester, the two two rounds before the semi-final against Southampton last time.
00:11:58
Michael
Palace.
00:12:04
Michael
Oh, that's easy, yeah.
00:12:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
And they were both dreadful games, by the way. But the crowd was well up for them. They were tense games, I should say. the crowd was well up for it. So I'm expecting a Liverpool type night.
00:12:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
And ah ah and if that's the case, then hopefully the lads are inspired and then and we can have another watch like that first hour against Leicester.
00:12:27
Michael
Yeah, crowd's going to be very important.
00:12:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm going to pause there. I'm going to pause there, ask you to do as the yeah Global Sports Podcast Network advert. Please Michael and then we'll we'll have a guess on scores.
00:12:38
Michael
No, absolutely no

How many clubs is that, Michael?
00:13:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
but Wonderful, wonderful. A little preview, a little preview of the Christmas advert to come. You have to listen to it and then tell us if we were just gazing at our own navels or if you find it amusing or not. Anyway, part three, prediction time. Right.
Predictions and Expectations
00:13:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's all down to whether my am hope as to how the boys turn out comes true or not really, isn't it?
00:13:47
Michael
Yeah.
00:13:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
i'll go I'll go first to finish that off. I'm expecting, I'm expecting us to blitz Brentford and be so up for continuing our correction.
00:13:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
They still have, they still have a number of games to apologize for in my book. And I think this they'll all be up for this one.
00:14:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I am going to go for a prediction of two or three ahead at half time.
00:14:20
Michael
Oof.
00:14:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
We'll probably rest some players for the Ipswich game. We'll coast the last half hour. Brentford have got some strikers that will pinch one.
00:14:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
That'll make it a 3-1. Now you didn't see that coming, did you?
00:14:36
Michael
Oh, and not at all. ah i To be honest, i I completely agree and I think it's it'll be very interesting to see what Brentford turn up because if it's the Brentford that's played in the the last round against Sheffield Wednesday, they made several changes. I think if that team turns up, I do agree that I think we'll blitz them because I think we're going to play a very strong team and I think we're going to do i think we'll get the blocks running.
00:15:05
Michael
and the crowd is going to be so important. So if you're at the game, please don't let it turn into a library, because if it does, that's where Newcastle are going to struggle. And Brentford might pick up their first away winner this season.
00:15:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Michael, nobody goes to St. James's Park hoping it's just going to be, you you don't turn up with a bad head and hope it's quiet today, do you?
00:15:25
Michael
Well, I don't, but...
00:15:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
But, but you do need, you do need the boys on the pitch to get a few liveness in, in the first 10 minutes to give us something to get off our seats for and to really get us worked up.
00:15:43
Michael
Yeah, 100%.
00:15:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
and I do know, I do know the crowd is very good when it is a bit flat and actually trying to lift them as well. Hopefully that won't be needed, but I'm sure we'll all be there doing that if we have to.
00:15:57
Michael
Hopefully. I mean, the singing corner.
00:15:59
Michael
input um I'm actually out with a few pals. I'm not at the Brentford game, but I am going to say it with a few mates just in the pub. And then I'll be back at St.
00:16:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Nice.
00:16:09
Michael
James's for Aston Villa. at the game?
00:16:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
I am, thanks to the yeah fairy godmother that is Joanne. because don't come out in a ballot, but Joanne has some, so i mean I think she's a witch.
00:16:25
Michael
Yeah, a hundred percent.
00:16:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
She has some sort of, she cast some sort of spell and has got me the ticket to get in for Liverpool, Leicester, this one, Villa, Wolves, and wo I'm still, I mean, Bournemouth I failed on yesterday, but there's plenty of time for Joanne to work her magic for me to get to that one too.
00:16:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
I hope you're listening Joanne.
00:16:47
Michael
Yeah.
00:16:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, I will be there, and it's a long drive up for me, but I love the drives home when we've won.
Post-Match Reflections
00:16:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's fabulous.
00:16:54
Michael
yeah
00:16:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
And listen to talk sport and bask in the glow of compliments and friendliness like there was going back after the Leicester game. less Less fun when we've been turned over by Brighton or West Ham.
00:17:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
They're the games we need an apology for.
00:17:11
Michael
Yeah.
00:17:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Anyway. um I think that'll probably do us, you know, we've, uh, we've not got any team news apart from, I think the hot thing is that you'll see Lewis Miley tomorrow.
00:17:16
Michael
Yep.
00:17:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
We quite like the idea of Trippier coming in for liver Mento.
00:17:25
Michael
ye
00:17:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Michael's got another thing he wants to say.
00:17:28
Michael
I do just want to add, because the last thing I said about a preview of the game was that Brentford could come away with the first away win of the season. That is not what I believe is going to happen. And I do think it'll be a very, very successful night for Newcastle.
00:17:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, yes.
00:17:42
Michael
And I think we'll come out three nil victors, but I think we'll get too late in the the second half to make it look a lot more comfortable than what it was.
00:17:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
All right. Yeah. It's a Carabao cup, isn't it? We do struggle for goals in the Carabao cup.
00:17:56
Michael
Yeah.
00:17:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
One dreadful Carabao cup night. I don't know if anyone remembers this. Nick Pope was in goal for Burnley.
00:18:05
Michael
oh
00:18:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Uh, and it was, uh, it was Neil Neil. It was Neil Neil after the extra time as well. And a penalty shootout, which, um, um, Maxi and somebody else missed their penalties and Nick Pope saved two penalties.
00:18:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's not playing tomorrow. It's Martin to so that is irrelevant. However, I hope you're right. I hope you're nearly right. And they do get that last minute consolation so that we win three one because I will have my two pound on that.
00:18:33
Michael
course.
00:18:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Anyway, thank you very much indeed for joining us. Thank you, Michael, for doing the overtime with me to do the second podcast of the night. And then we've got a preview for the cup match to go out in the morning. Uh, thanks everybody else for listening.
00:18:43
Michael
Lovely.
00:18:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think we shall be doing some sort of review to come out on
00:18:47
Michael
Yep.
00:18:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Thursday morning, app but we'll have to get organized for that. It's not organized yet. Anyway, thank you very much indeed. We shall see you on the next one.
