Newcastle United (A) - Sat 13th Jan, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

I like the lineup but I'm a bit surprised to see Doku starting. I know Grealish can be frustrating, but I do find myself wishing he was starting when he isn't. Need Doku to work hard and help Gvaridol out with Almiron.

I don't mind Kovacic over Nunes but I do think Nunes's legs could have been useful in a game that will have a lot of transitional moments.

Good starting 11. I'd prefer Ake at LB though, looks a lot calmer than Gvardiol there i think.

 

[wolviedinho]

their bench is woeful on the other hand..

If we need the bench then something has went wrong.

I’ve been a member of this forum for four months and at this point I could write the match day thread.

1) Commentators are shit
2) Doku cooks compared to $100m Grealish
3) FFS Kova, Nunes, Gvardiol (see also: window was a complete failure)
4) It’s over for us
5) Pep is done (see also at 60 min: does he know we have subs)
6) Rodri is tired
7) “clear red card”
8) “zzzzzzzz”
9) “Player X is shit” followed immediately by assist by Player X
10) Really missing Gundo, Palmer, Laporte

Did I cover it all?

Four months...?

Rag.

I bet Kev'll get one this evening, and Mr Doku, I'll take 3-0

[ancoats]

like I said earlier in this thread Respect Newcastle at their ground first and foremost, Then go and get the job done and bring the 3 points home if you can, It's a Hard game and we will need to be at our best and fully switch on

 

[halfcenturyup]

Me neither, Newcastle like to.kick lumps out of us and are usually allowed to buy the refs.

Isn't that what Barcelona are charged with?
