Mr C - I am totally with you and going against Newcastle.

Not only are Dyer, Bramble and Emre not playing. They are also missing Parker, Jenas and Chopra is a doubt at the minute.

The main loss for them here is Dyer as he goes into another level in European games away as his pace is hard to cope with and Newcastle know this and use it to their strength.

You have to wonder where the goals and creativity from Newcastle is going to come from.

Shearer isn't near the level he once was. His use these days is holding ball up, winning headers and free kicks. The goals he scores are limited to penalties, free kicks and tap ins. So if you can cut off the service to him through that way your half way to winnings the battle.

Partnering him will either be Ameobi or Chopra and really, neither of the Deportivo defence should have any trouble in coping with them.

Their midfield will be very weak compared to normal and will be made up i would imagine of Bowyer, Butt, Faye, Milner and N Zhogbia. No real top quality there.

For me its Deportive all the way tonight. I would be very surprised if they didnt overcome this Newcastle side and i can see Tristan and Luque having a field day tonight.
