The players need our support on Sunday after the disappointment of last night. Going to be tough as the players will be mentally and physically drained, can see a few changes with Grealish, Gundogan and Ake starting.

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
 
4/5 minutes of madness in Madrid doesn't make us a shit side.

We may well be battered and bruised physically & mentally but Champions are Champions, 4 games to go & then a good summers rest with no International crap to worry about.

Lets get 3 points, who knows spursy spurs might get a result of some sort the previous night too.

Just setting yourself up for disappointment expecting anything from Spurs. Lloris will chuck the ball into the back of his own net like he always does against them

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
 
We outplayed Madrid over 180 minutes, and then tooled it in in 10 minutes of lunacy. Fortunately, Newcastle are not Madrid and I do not expect any slip ups on Sunday.

We'll go on and win the league now, I am certain of it. Just need Chelsea and Madrid to do their bit against red scum2.

Will there be a bus welcoming?! Doubt it
Loads of tickets now up for sale. Day before yesterday there were 1 or 2 that kept popping up. Are people really swerving this now because of last night?!

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.
 
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.
