Tough game. I can see Newcastle getting a draw. They're confident and have had extra rest/preparation.

So good they named him twice.

We might labour in the second half

Very liberal with your opinion… enough to make me go green with envy

Must be missing something. We are the quadruple winners with the best goal scorer in the world and some fans are worried about playing a team with Dan Burn & Kieran Trippier in it at home. Yes they are decent but not world beaters and last night was important to get minutes in the legs. Its 3 days to the next match which is no different to any CL match last season.. Get Berny, Ruben, John in and maybe Alvarez to increase the pressing intensity, especially against Pope who is bobbins with the ball at his feet and we will win, which we normally do against this lot. Not saying it will be easy but not one I'm that worried about. Be more worried if it were Arsenal/Dippers..

------------Eddie------
Akanji----Dias----Gvardiol
--------Stones---Rodri-----
Foden--Bernie-Kovacic--Grealish
------------Haaland--------

I think this is what I'd go with too. Maybe swap Foden and Bernie as I think we need a goal threat in there and Kovacic and Bernie aren't really that.

Stones out.

We just need to stay disciplined and get the ball to Haaland quicker and more frequently.

Stones out.

Thats a huge blow.
