Donnarumma
Nunes
Dias
Gvardiol
O'Reilly
Nico
Bernardo
Reijnders
Foden
Doku
Haaland.

Midfield will be a battle, we've got to get that midfield 3 to win it with reijnders as the 10 and bernardo and nico in a double pivot. foden off the right coming in when we've got the ball.

Play quickly to doku and haaland with the running power of reijnders supporting and foden supplying.

If that team is picked, then Bernardo is playing Right Wing.

Right now, no one is moving Phil off the 10 spot. No one!

I doubt we will keep a clean sheet, but regardless, Newcastle have only scored twice in 3 league games out of 11 this season, albeit all at home.

They are not high scorers this season and sit 17th in the table for goals scored.

We just have to box smart today, because I don't see us getting pummeled or have the game taken away from us.
 
I know they haven't been playing well. But its a tough team with tough, physical 0layers at every position.
 
I can’t make it to this one. Don’t forget your oxygen bottles to get up that stand !!
 
So with the big man in such fine form, the team goes to Newcastle with +1 before kick off -:)

Not sure, st James is a normally a tough game. Draw properly with erling having a mere and sav playing 90 min…

That formation would result in a repeat of villa away. Foden can operate from the right, he'd come central when we have the ball, it's only out of possession where his position would change.

Newcastle haven’t had great results across the board but they have played well at home when I’ve seen them. I didn’t see their defeat to Barça so can’t comment on that but they played well in losing to Liverpool and Arsenal and have won all the rest against Benfica, Athletic, Wolves, Forest and Fulham. P8 W5 D0 L3 F14 A8, only conceding 1 goal in their 5 wins, with either a win or good performance in 7 of the 8 games (maybe all 8 but as I say I didn’t see the Barça game to know if they played well or not).

While we’ve been good at home and were decent at Wolves and Arsenal, the rest of our away performances have been a bit average and our record is only okay. We’ve played 6 away in the PL+CL and have W3 D2 L2 F11 A6. We’ve only really played well in spells or for one half in a number of games (good first halves but very different second half displays at Monaco, Villarreal, Brighton and Brentford).

However, we have built a good bit of form after good performances in some home wins against three decent sides going into this fixture.

It should be a cracker!

I thought the best game in the whole 2023-24 PL season from any teams was the Newcastle 2 City 3 game in the January. Would be good to have another like that.



All five goals were top class. Commentator sounded gutted with our winner there, haha great stuff!

Imagine the excitement nay delirium in his voice had the roles been reversed and they’d come from behind in a cracking game to score a last minute winner with a goal like that

What an absolute ****.

Nah! Villa away was a result of having no DM. No Rodri, Nico or Kova. We were playing with Tijanni as a makeshift DM.

With Nico we either drop Tijanni.or play Silva as a defensive Right winher who plays mostly in the space to the middle and right while Nunes gets the line.

Moving Phil is bad form.
