Newcastle United (H) - Sat 15th Feb, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 15:00 (GMT).

Hardest working team in the league against one of the most knackered. They're favourites for this one in my opinion.

We'll have to make changes but god knows what our XI will be. They have a very good midfield and a dangerous front line.

 

[Goater101]

Forget the second leg. It’s irrelevant now, full focus on the league.

Ederson; Khusanov Stones Dias Gvardiol; Nico Bernardo; Savinho Marmoush Foden; Haaland

 

[bitterblue78]

Best not play a weakened team

 

[Semper aggressus]

No Lewis, no Gundogan and no de Bruyne.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

2-1 City.

 

[bearcityblu]

Was looking forward to this when we were 2 1 up tonight thinking the boys will be full of confidence. Now Newcastle will be licking their lips at playing us and pressing us into mistakes. Let's see who is fit for weekend and try and get a win and push up in the league.

 

[117 M34]

Think we will struggle unfortunately because we will be tired and they are strong in midfield

[TinFoilHat]

Yay...

Dipper ref and Dipper VAR.

 

[Goro]

i don’t even think we are worth to be top 4 after seeing our perfomance

It’s almost like our players don’t believe they can win anything

We’ll blow it on the final day from a mistake, it’s written in the stars.

You giving us too much credit
It’d be long gone before final day

 

[Fordyboy46]

Nightmare game to try and pick ourselves up in. Can only see an in form Newcastle giving us the runaround. Fwiw team wise: Ortega, Nunes, Dias, Khusanov, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Gonzalez, Savinho, Doku, Marmoush, Haaland

 

[dronefromsector7G]

3-0 Newcastle

 

[sarcastico]

Their midfield is going to destroy us. Especially if Joelinton is back with Bruno G and Tonalli.

Don't even know how to approach this.

Definitely not a high line. Anthony will skin whoever is on the left.

 

[mexico1970]

Let's get tonight out of our system good and proper by giving the barcodes a good old fashioned tonking.

That’s a strong midfield they have.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Could be ugly.

Time to get the new boys up to speed.
