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

[Craig]

Our style is slow build up, possession based football.

Jack would be more suited to a team like Forest, or Newcastle who are direct and counter quickly.

Jack at Villa took risks. He got a "free pass" every week to go and express himself as he was their best player.

Total opposite at City. Hence when he gets the ball he either draws a foul or passes it to the full back or to the spare man inside.
As we've seen in despatches lately, he can still play great passes in behind the opponent.

But he just doesn't score enough for a forward type of player or get involved in key areas of the game.

Wether that is instructions, limitations or capability, only Jack knows.

Yeah, i see that but the other 2 wingers who’ve been starting ahead of him don’t play that way in the slightest

 

[chickaroon]

He was just pictured coming out of a restaurant, no?

He is allowed to eat, I presume?

[Kippax Street 1880]

Ederson
Kush
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Gundogan
Nico
Doku
Haaland
Savio

I'd roll with this if Doku and Ake are fit. Bernardo and Stones in for the 2 if not.

No Gundogan

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

No Gundogan

Think he'll be a different player in between kovacic and nico. Unless you meant he is unavailable. Phil and Kev just don't do any defensive work at all and we can't afford it today.

 

[Goater101]

No Dias or Ake again. These injuries are becoming a joke.

[wattle]

Where the fuck is Dias now????????? I'm so fucking sick of this season

 

[pudge]

Where the fuck is Dias?

Another "not fully fit" that only gets leaked an hour before kick off?

 

[Gobshiight]

What the fuck are these injuries

 

[discopop]

Three central defenders lost in one game is impressive even for us

 

[SWP's back]

Lewis and Gundogan. Oh joy.

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

No Dias and Ake ffs

Lewis and Gundogan. Ouch.

At least Nico is back.

 

[Ajm1985]

Good fucking luck Nico, going to be a tough afternoon for him

 

[2blue4you]

Not liking that line up one little bit.

 

[johnny crossan]

Where the fuck is Dias now????????? I'm so fucking sick of this season

and Ake

 

[Kladze]

What's going on with Bobb? He was supposed to be ready weeks ago.

 

[Goater101]

Think I’ve just accepted now we’re not winning the bigger games this season. The injuries are a joke

 

[Legal Alien]

No Dias or Ake again. These injuries are becoming a joke.

FFS, gotta hope they're just managing their minutes and they're not injured again!
