Lawro & DC predictions v Barcodes (H)

Postby Wonderwall » Fri Jan 19, 2018 1:28 pm

The moons have aligned with Lawro and DC this week, none of them going for the usual 2-0 and both going with the same scoreline, they must have rang each other up in midweek.
This week, Lawro takes on Pete Wentz, bass player with rock band Fall Out Boy.
Wentz claims - slightly tongue in cheek - to be an expert on the Premier League but he does know his stuff about the sport back in the United States.
Wentz part-owns American team Phoenix Rising with Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.

If Liverpool showed other teams the way to beat Manchester City last weekend with their high-energy and attack-minded tactics, I cannot see Rafa Benitez following that template.
I don't think he will be studying the DVD of that match too much. He probably didn't even watch it.
Newcastle are far more likely to attempt the kind of defensive shut-out they tried when City beat them 1-0 at St James' Park at the turn of the year. I don't see it working this time.
City will put last week's defeat down to the fact that Liverpool absolutely swarmed all over them but I doubt their manager Pep Guardiola is going to beat himself up about it too much, and this game is perfect for them to bounce back.
I don't think missing out on Alexis Sanchez is too big a blow for City either. I quite like the way they dealt with the situation too. For a team that has spent hundreds of millions of pounds recently, it was quite refreshing.
Of course they could afford him for fun but the goalposts got moved so they said "he would have been a nice addition but this one doesn't work for us. If you can get what you want elsewhere, then good luck".

Lawro's prediction: 3-0
Pete's prediction: I like Newcastle a lot but I think City will win. 3-1

I don't think Man City are going to come up against a team like Liverpool for the rest of the season, particularly in those 20 minutes in the second half.

They're a bit downbeat at Newcastle at the moment; the takeover failing, they needed to beat Swansea but didn't, I think it's a bit subdued there. I think they just want to get this game out of the way, and make sure it's not a huge defeat.

I think it's a case of leaving without many injuries and looking at how other teams got on below them.

PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0 (6/1 with Sky Bet)

Is 3-0 the new 2-0?

Can't really see anything other than a home win to be honest. It could get very messy

'I like Newcastle a lot but I think City will win.' That makes sense.

I was at the 0-2 when they beat us in the league cup and the one where Aguero scored 5. I think it was 6-1 with us scoring first and both times the Newcastle supporters were great afterwards. At least the ones I met.
Just down to earth, no shit. I liked them.

We really have to win though and I think we will.
