Dan LCFC Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 I'm confident we'll win this comfortably. They really aren't any good. Their fans I follow have said all season they've still looked rubbish, have just had an extraordinarily good number of goals from their defenders that they won't sustain. 0-3 and we'll dominate.

Guest Markyblue Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 I think he will go with a strong line up against Newcastle with 3/4 changes from the recognised first team, back up team against wigan and best 11 against villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really up to our wingers to stamp their authority or risk losing their place to a new player in Jan or the summer. Run out of reps but I agree with this immensely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 Evans can rest vs Wigan, my heart would be in my mouth if Morgan had to cover for Soyuncu. Wouldn't mind seeing a double pivot of Hamza and Praet in a 4-2-3-1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so . Listening to the media Almiron has been reborn as the new Messi and is about to herald a new golden age up at the toon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 I'm glad Almiron has scored his first goal because that would be guaranteed to happen. When did Andy Carroll last score? They are going to sit back and defend, up to us to break them down. They have pace on the break but very little end product. Perez starts in the hope he scores against his old club, Gray done enough to get another start for me. Harsh on Hamza and Mendy I guess but usual midfield trio return. Hopefully Evans has another game in him before a rest next weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 I think we all know there are going to be some players disappointed when the team sheet is announced for this one. Justin, Mendy,Hamza, Gray, Albrighton and Nacho all did their hopes no harm. If fit though, Chilwell, Soyuncu, Tielemans, Madison, Ndidi and Vardy are all certs to start.

Not 100% sure but have a feeling it was 1st April 2017 against Hull in the league though think he may have scored 1 in the FA Cup the following season though he was injured for most of it. He's still a real handful though and Newcastle seem to play a lot of old fashioned high balls towards him. Slightly concerned how we will deal with that as we are not the best in the air or the most physical of teams. Will be a lot tougher than some on here will predict as they are actually quite decent at home. Really could use another win though.

Kuredufox Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 Playing Morgan and Cags together would be disastrous. Both have positional issues and need Evans beside them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twister Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 there is no a team or b team just a 25 man squard and you pick those in form and fresh I would actually go with a lot of who played yesterday That includes and I know I will get stick for this leaving Maddison and Barnes on the bench having the two wide players in Gray and Albrighton offered great balance yesterday for me, I would bring Nidii backin and Vardy but leave it largley unchanged. gives a good rest to some of the younger players who have played a lot of games this season before the cup semi games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Earle Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 Strongest XI with Justin to play unless Ricardo is 100% fit. There’s a case for starting with the 4231 successful yesterday, with Ndidi & Hamza as a double pivot, & playing the same ‘3’ behind Vardy. But I expect (without any confidence) a return to 4141. The West Ham XI to play v Wigan with Ward replacing Kasper & Soyuncu replacing Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCCFox96 Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 I think we'll stick with 4-1-4-1 but, in terms of personnel, revert closer to the side that went on the 8-game run. The only questions marks on that are the wingers - I would guess Perez and Gray might keep their places over Barnes and Albrighton. We're likely to go Tielemans and Maddison in midfield but Praet being totally out of the squad yesterday suggests he might play. Could be an interesting one: Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Soyuncu Chilwell Ndidi Perez Maddison Tielemans Gray Vardy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somebum Posted 29 December 2019 Share Posted 29 December 2019 As long as Madders plays central and we actually have plenty of creativity we should win. Newcastle are a dull, uninspiring side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
