Gwlad Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 I think the crowd will still be numb after Sunday. I know I will be, even sat in my armchair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesey05 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Not bothered about the performance! Not bothered if we play 5 at the back! Not bothered if Rondon starts up top! I JUST WANT THE 3 POINTS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwlad Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Newcastle on a roll, beat us 6 weeks ago will be raring to go. Can see our weakness so unfortunately they will be at us from the off. that the team will have a 'can win' mentality. COYB!Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 2 hours ago, RPG said: I like 4-3-3 and I wouldn't argue with your back four but I would still start Doucoure ahead of Alli and I am tempted to play a front three of Gray, DCL and Richarlison. Gordon has looked fantastic in our last few matches without actually producing much end result. I'm a big fan of Gordon but this might be the game to bring him on from the bench for the last 25 minutes. Only place a goal looked like coming from off Gordonβs boot to be honest. Doucoure was shocking last game out, those 3 in the midfielder can play a pass and we need to keep the ball more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to not give away stupid fouls around our penalty area because, as you say, they'll be a big threat from set pieces. I'm looking at Allan here! For someone so experienced he can be a right idiot. We definitely need to get on the ball more as much as possible, like you say. Get it, move it quickly, get the crowd into the game, build pressure and just keep pushing. We have to leave everything out there tomorrow.

barryj Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 To go or not to go? Thatβs the question. Not missed a home game so far this season but with around 8hrs round trip on another week night is a push.

Bailey Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 I wouldn't have Alli anywhere near the starting line-up.

nyblue23 Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Apparently Shelvey and Joelinton out. At least with Shelvey out, we can be confident no one will get their ankles broken. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWooney Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 If we are creating as little as we did against Wolves I'd resort to route 1 ugliness and get crosses into the box and people in there to attack it for the last 10 minutes!Β DCL if available, Rondon and bang Keane or Branthwaite up there for their aerial threat! If nothing else it causes the opposition to have to work hard at the back and the chance of a deflected goal, foul in the box, headed goal or just a corner.Β We don't have the ability or threat to just keep trying the same thing until the final whistle.

Bill Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Mick Lyons,Β now there's a player who would run through brick walls and play any position on the pitch, and it was 100% in every game. Didn't get the recognition he deserved because he was surrounded by other great players who did get the plaudits.Β I often use this anology but its one that rings true .... If I was fighting down the trenches Mick Lyons is a man I would be happy to have alongside of me. Hafnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One league cup final defeat was all we had to show apart from three UEFA Cup appearances during which the only team we beat was Finn Harps (knocked out by AC Milan, Dukla Prague and Feyenord).

A couple of times against Wolves he had a good position but messed it up with a lack of quality.Β If he is going to come into the team, that quality needs to be so high because he offers fuck all else.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
