All guns blazing against Foxes

- Mick Quinn United striker Joselu

know the city and the club will air their views but we can debate with them and try to present the truth.

That is what I do whenever I am on TalkSport. I preach the gospel according to Newcastle United because I know what a special club it is and how magnificen­t the fans are.

If fans are so offended by Moose’s views, ring up and tell him what Newcastle’s like but Moose is entitled to his opinion - no matter how ignorant it may be. the tempo. When I was a Newcastle player, we played in some classics against Leicester - including two 5-4s - and although I don’t expect this game to be as high-scoring I want to see United trying to force the visitors deep when they can.

If Rondon is fit, I would start him. If he is not, I would go with Joselu. I have not seen enough of Yoshinori Muto to make a full judgement on him yet but he looks a bit lightweigh­t to me and I think he will take a little time to adapt to the Premier League.

The onus is on Joselu’s teammates to create chances for the Spaniard and then he must take them. It is about a change of mindset from Newcastle - St James’ Park is their home and they need to stamp their authority there.

We need that first win to arrive as soon as possible. Otherwise the negativity grows and it is a weight hanging around their neck.

Rather than playing with the handbrake on, Newcastle need to release it and push down on the accelerato­r. That is the only way the goals will start flowing.
