Newcastle (a) pre-match thread

Shelvey is the worry for me can be extremely reckless at times...

I am really worried about Shelvey and about this game in general.
Merlin will be a huge miss we will miss his vision and ball retention imho

for me when you have a like Sane you play him. no matter what. he's that good.

He’s been shite the past few games....

Has Yorke gone mute ?

Has he mentioned "the boss" yet ?

Pep getting more and more daring with his rotation. I’ve got a bad feeling, but I have one every week at the moment and these lads keep delivering.

It’s a significantly weakened team.

It really isn't that weakened. Gundogan is almost as good as Dave, Bernardo is in better form than Dane at the moment, and Danilo whole not as good as Delph is very capable.

Am thinking that Sane and Jesus may be coming on later in the game when they(Newcastle) start to tire, unless we are comfortably ahead. I think Pep still leaves options even when rotating, COME ON U BLUES.

I think a few of us are nervous-the run will end at some point, but let’s not forget this is still a wonderful team full of skill, energy and most of all self-belief. C’mon City!!!

The records books may not give a damn but anybody with a scintilla of football knowledge will recognise that a record of this type set in the Premier League is more impressive than doing it in any other league in the world.

Whooosh!

Bit harsh. Inconsistent and sometimes frustrating with bit of brilliance in between.

Silva, Stones, Mendy/Delph and Sane would all make us stronger in my opinion. Whilst I totally agree that we should have more than enough to win easily, I’m going into every game expecting some bad luck and/or sending off. It happens to everyone and we are so due a defeat that I’m expecting one these days.

I agree they would make us stronger but Stones/Mendy have been out for a while and we have still been winning. I just dont think we are significantly weakened.

Exactly.
