Newcastle United (A) - Sat 28th Sept, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Line-ups without Bernardo are not realistic.

 

[Gabriel]

Ederson
Walker
Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Gundogan
Bernardo
Doku
Grealish
Haaland

Subs Savinho, Foden, Stones, Lewis (the rest making up the numbers).

Newcastle seem to raise their game when we come calling, and I expect this time to be no different. They have a midfield that thrives on power, we have a midfield that thrives on keeping the ball, so that’s where the game will be decided.

Team picked 12 so who would you drop or add this team? The way Newcastle play we going to have no legs in midfield..

I think it depends on KDB fitness. If he can start, Id swap him for Gundo or Foden. I thought Foden looked rusty last night. Either way, it looks a slow midfield

definately Lewis for Walker. He was poor for both goals at St James last season and seems to be now costing us too often

You still have to take a player out like I posted I picked 12 so we will have to pick 2 in midfield

Yes. I think silva and Kovacic plus 1 from gun do, KDB or foden

My wife and her whole family are Geordies, it's been a good 7ish years of results against them, I never boast, I never over-celebrate. But last year the MIL made it her personal mission to ensure that their victory against us in the carabao was the only thing she would speak about for about 3 weeks.

So naturally, I will return fire when we smash them 3-0 this weekend, ideally get us banned from attending Christmas.

The only way he’ll get back to his best is by playing more games though. We are a better side with him in the team

 

[yeah whatever !!]

COME ON CITY !!

One from Gundo and Foden won't start. Maybe Grealish too, Doku instead. Generally, Doku might be more useful away from home where the opposition is more likely to take risks and leave free spaces.
