⚪️ #LeedsUnited Tactical Thread ⚪️
Watched Leeds/Man Utd. Daniel Farke's side is in a resilient 5-3-2 groove, unbeaten in 6. Key doubts: Rodon & Bogle (fitness tests). #NUFC #LUFC

(1/5) 🔴 #CrystalPalace Tactical Thread 🔴

Watched Crystal Palace-Fulham (1-1). Oliver Glasner’s side is the league’s most direct & defensively stubborn, but arrives missing key players. Here's how I think they'll play at SJP. #NUFC #CPFC

🔵 #CFC #Chelsea Tactical Thread 🔵

Enzo Maresca's Chelsea are a possession-heavy side built on control & tactical nuance. A look at their system ahead of a big #NUFC test. #PL
Newcastle United's badge and Chelsea FC's badge, side by side, with a birds eye view of a football pitch in the background. Newcastle United's badge, which features elements from the city’s Coat of Arms, namely the supporting seahorses, castle, demi lion and an amended pennon. Inside an inner shield, gilded in gold, the club’s black and white stripes were added while the club’s name was added in a grand, scrolling blue banderole.

Derby day. The Mackems are this season's surprise package, built on a rock-solid defensive block and lethal set-pieces. A deep dive for #NUFC. #TyneWearDerby

⚫️ #B04 #Leverkusen Tactical Thread 🔴
Despite a bad loss to Augsburg, Hjulmand’s rebuilt side is dangerous. A proactive, possession-based team with a glaring soft underbelly. A big #UCL test for #NUFC.

🔵 #Everton Tactical Thread 🔵
David Moyes has Everton organized and hard-working, with a direct style built on crosses and physicality. For a #NUFC side struggling in attack, this is a classic Premier League battle. #EFC #NUFC

⚫️ #OM #Marseille Tactical Thread ⚪️
A chaotic, high-stakes clash awaits. Roberto De Zerbi's Marseille are built on tactical bravery and high-risk football. For a #NUFC side struggling to build attacks, and especially away from home, this is another tough test. #UCL #NUFC

🔵 #MCFC Tactical Preview 🔵

A misfiring #NUFC attack faces the ultimate test: Manchester City. The Magpies' disjointed buildup and lack of vertical threat play perfectly into the hands of Pep Guardiola's system. A thread on City. 🧵 #NEWMCI

Ok, watched Fulham against Arsenal. They were decent against a top side. Here’s how they’re looking: #NUFC #FUL
Newcastle's crest, "vs", then Fulham's crest. Overlaid on a wide shot of St. James' Park, the best stadium ever.

The cup draw's thrown up a proper lower-league test. I watched League One-leading Bradford City take down a good Cardiff side, so here’s my quick tactical look at these. 🧵 #NUFC #BCAFC

Right, let's talk Bournemouth. Andoni Iraola has them playing a chaotic, high-octane system. I watched their Brighton fixture, here’s what to expect. #NUFC #AFCB

An early-season tactical showdown at St. James' Park: Arne Slot's new tweaked approach against Eddie Howe's organized & aggressive #NUFC. A fascinating clash of styles is coming. #NEWLIV

Let's preview #NUFC at #AVFC.

Typically for a preview, I'll watch the opponents most recent match, and pull metrics, maybe screenshots.

No idea what magic Unai added this year (or Howe), but here’s the core of Villa’s game: patience and structure. 🧵
A picture of Aston Villa's badge, and Newcastle United's badge. Aston Villa's is a circular badge with claret background. Gold rampant lion facing left at center. Light blue outline around lion. 'ASTON VILLA' in gold uppercase arching over top, '1874' at bottom. Single gold star above lion head." Newcastle United's is a shield-shaped badge with black-and-white vertical stripes at center. Two silver seahorses with red details rise vertically on either side, facing inward. Red banner across top reads 'NEWCASTLE UNITED' in white. Castle illustration in black-and-white at shield base.

#NUFC host Bournemouth, which means I watched Bournemouth's recent draw with Chelsea to get a sense of how they're playing right now. Here's what I saw-
The Newcastle United club crest, versus, the AFC Bournemouth club crest, imposed over the greatest stadium ever, St. James' Park.

One bit of speculation is that Emi Martinez is in a slump. According to Fbref.com’s “post shot expected goals minus goals allowed” (basically, the likelihood of saving a shot based on its location), Martinez is 33rd in the PL.
