Newcastle (H) - Sun 8th May, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

Loads? Seems to be about 60-70 single seats dotted about the stadium. The usual number of returns a few days before a match?

Loads compared to yesterday before the Madrid match is my point. 1 or 2 turned into 60/70.

Just got a feeling the Spurs that did us recently might just turn up. It's not like they've got nothing to play for

Olivar is ref at anfield , spuds are getting fuck all

No Walker or Stones and I doubt Bernardo or Foden will start after playing 120 minutes.

Ederson
Cancelo
Dias
Laporte
Ake
Rodri
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Mahrez
Sterling
Jesus

Not our strongest team by any means but I think that's the best we can put out in the circumstances.

I have a feeling we'll need Kevin to drag us over the line again with a big performance.

Play our best team. We can’t afford to rest now with 4 games to go. Go and finish the job. This season can still be regarded as a great success when we lift the premier league again.

Plenty of time to lick our wounds after the 4 games are played.

I expect a big response otherwise they are at the wrong club.

I’d have zinchenko at left back, with Ake instead of Laporte, who looked exhausted at the end of extra time. Probably also have Grealish ahead of Mahrez but that’s a toss up.

That sort of line up includes players who will be mentally and physically tired but should have enough energy and ability to beat Newcastle

You may have a point there. My only thinking on Ake was that if Cancelo is on the other side then we need a more defensively solid LB to essentially perform the role Walker does. I think we're a bit unbalanced with Cancelo and Zinchenko as the fullbacks as they're both better at tucking in to midfield.

Mahrez has to start in my opinion purely for the fact that he's our main goal threat alongside KDB. Normally I'd go with Foden on the left but he looked absolutely knackered so it's a choice between Grealish and Sterling on that side for me.

If we do somehow manage to throw this title away it will be the most disappointing season we have had since Shinawatra took over. It will be unacceptable.

"unacceptable "?
ffs

 

[iwasthere1968]

this, more than ever, it's now up to us to support this team over the line, staring Sunday, just get behind them, you know we can do this

yes yes and yes

 

[FantasyIreland]

Whoever is fully fit,not sure we'll have the luxury of much choice.
