Newcastle (Home) - Pre Match Thread

[kippaxchris]

David Silva is expected to return for Manchester City, having missed the loss at Liverpool last weekend due to a stomach problem.

Fabian Delph was forced off with a knee injury at Anfield and is set to be replaced by Danilo, while Vincent Kompany could miss out again.

Dwight Gayle faces a fitness test for Newcastle after picking up a knock in the 1-1 draw with Swansea.

Florian Lejeune is doubtful with a foot injury and Jesus Gamez remains out.

If he had a stomach problem why waste a space on the bench by putting him there?

Rather not see Danilo at LB, he’s a liability. Rather see zinchenko there.

Agreed.

Did I see a couple of posts putting Fern at left back. Give your heads a wobble. Zinchenko has done fine whilst there. Maybe one dodgy game,but overall he's done well. Fern struggled at right back and is too important in midfield. No way will Pep put him at left back

Hardly a liability. He's not Mendy or Walker but has looked ok. Always good to have an easy target for the flapper and boo boys though

9-0 City

With Bristol playing tonight and us not until tomorrow evening I think we may see us go off like a house on fire and get the game put to bed early on so we can hopefully coast the last 30 minutes.

I'm going for 5-0

 

[BringBackSwales]

he can predict what he wants,it's my opinion it will be attack v defence and it'll be a much more modest score as a lot of these games are,we all want to win so as long as we do that we'll all be happy bunnies

Well tbh he predicted 5 0 to City, and from memory your response was some people never learn. Just saying

Agree 3 games ago he had a 'stormer' in the FA cup game, in a game he may do little defending i would go with him defo.

I think we should play Danilo at RB and try out walker at LB. Think Walker with his pace will make a decent full back either side to be honest, it's worth a try.

Then you end up weakening two positions. Keep walker where he is. Danilo is good enough for Newcastle and West Brom. Then hopefully we’ll hve broughtbsomeone in.
