Newcastle United (H) - Sat 15th Feb, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Craig]

With no senior centre defenders on the bench, who was he supposed to play?

Nunes may be more athletic, but he's given away goals against any decent winger he's played.

Yeah no doubt the options are very limited. Only plus with Nunes is he can get forward with his pace

 

[urban genie]

Rico vs Gordon . Yeah Pep. Great idea

if Rico stays on the flank he will be fine.

also if he doesn't have a daft **** like kova passing to him stupid balls

 

[ayia napa blues]

Dear Pep,

Lewis will fuck you up at some point this afternoon.

Best regards,
The Future

Unfortunatly he's the luckiest player to our club in the last 20 years he's woful I have no idea what he offers

Weak on the ball
Weak off the ball
Average passing
Poor in air
Poor decision making
Slow

If he left us no other Premier league side would take him.

But anyone going still needs to get behind him they all need out support

WTF .. can’t see anything but a big Newcastle win

At what point do you decide Gundo is a good option against high energy.

 

[bell_mcfc]

I actually like the balance of this starting line up.

 

[Paul1970]

Got to have gundo in it hasn’t he . We will get rinsed in midfield

 

[bell_mcfc]

Will start in Madrid I reckon

 

[journolud]

Despite all the negativity about him I’m interested to see Gundogan with a proper holding midfielder behind him. Depends how well Nico settles

 

[freshie]

There you go

 

[dronefromsector7G]

This season can get fucked. These constant injuries to our defenders is bizarre.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

We don’t have a single established CB at the club, who can be relied on to be fit to play. It would a diabolical situation for most clubs but for a club like City, who are supposed to be challenging to win every competition, it’s a fucking farce.

Throw Rico and Gundo into this farce and it’s hard to see anything other than a very difficult afternoon ahead. Hope I am wrong.

 

[wolviedinho]

There you go

Just throw the new fellas in. We have nothing to lose anyway.

 

[journolud]

Do you think this could be the game where Lewis is not scapegoated?

Yeah everyone will pick on Stones….

(Runs and hides)

 

[super_city_si]

Not looking good is it? Defence is a mess and gundogan? Why? Wonder whether dias and ake are just rested to make sure they don’t pick up a reoccurrence?

 

[Paul1970]

At what point do you decide Gundo is a good option against high energy.

Getting fucked off with seeing this week in week out now . And did good measure we out Lewis in aswell to really fuck us over

 

[heslops barnet]

Just throw the new fellas in. We have nothing to lose anyway.

So they can get slated on match day forum?

 

[come-on-barney]

Will start in Madrid I reckon

Yep then both out for 5/6 games again. Wednesday is a right off, should be focusing on three points today.

Medical team need to be looked into.
