Paul Merson discussing the possibilities for Newcastle United in this match at Molineux and indeed for the overall season ahead.“They could end up being the team that loses ground quickly with other teams in the battle to avoid relegation.“I actually thought Newcastle United were a bit fortunate in their win over Tottenham before the international break.“I’ve still got to give credit to Newcastle as well though, let’s not take that away from them.
As for the win over Tottenham, I don’t think ‘fortunate’ is the word. Spurs kept the ball better but Newcastle defended better than the visitors and overall still had more quality chances than the opposition, on top of the two goals. Plus, Newcastle played the exact same tactics the previous season but won 4-0 despite Spurs having 73% possession, in that game though NUFC looked after the ball far better when winning it back and thus were able to destroy Tottenham on the break.
Paul Merson makes it a five club challenge for the fourth spot this season, maybe he will prove correct. You also have to remember of course that there is every chance this season of it ending up with fifth spot also getting Champions League qualification.
