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

[Gogootz]

Fotmob is showing Rico as the sole DM but think he will surprise a few being further forwards with gundo and kova as a dbl pivot

Pep knows best.

He doesn't in the match thread though : )

Your usual cheery self, I see.

Got creativity on the bench.

I reckon both lewis and akanji will push into the middle leaving gvardiol Dias walker at back.

I think 5 of them will dip in and out of that midfield today, Akanji, Lewis, Kovacic, Gundogan and Bernardo all capable.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Why do we keep starting fucking Walker

 

[Cambo]

Not much pace in that midfield or on the flanks. Glad that Lewis is in.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Your usual cheery self, I see.

Well is there not?

 

[hammocity]

Nah I think he was carrying a knock or two , his wrist area was bandaged last game

The wrist was bandaged for several games towards the end of the season, nothing in that.

 

[City of Troy]

2-0 to the blues today, ugly, easy, I don’t care just get the job done

Last season pundits were calling him the best right back the PL has ever seen .....
