Newcastle Away

[hejammy]

Why the actual F does he continue with Ndidi, Soumaré and Youri? I just do not get it! Everyman and his dog sees that it's the midfield that's the problem and he continues with that shite! Unbelievable really and unforgivable. 

[Larry_LCFC]

More creativity in a ****ing nursery than in that lineup. What an utter clown. Should be throwing the kitchen sink at them and trying to score more than we concede. Disaster written all over it.

[Foxxed]

Come on Iheanacho!

[Your Honour]

What’s that saying about repeating things and expecting a different outcome. Facking hell.

[SheppyFox]

Mendy & Praet should be starting over Ndidi and Soumare.

[turtmcfly]

**** off Smith you ****ing twat. 

[don_danbury]

is deano taking the piss?

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

I was kind of hoping for that formation but with slightly different personnel. 

[Fazzer 7]

Just can't fathom it, fathom it I can't.

Nearly a good team

It's not that fair off. But sadly, it had to be en pointe.

 

Castagne at LB over Thomas. I'd have had Big Dan then at RB. And Mendy over Wilf. 

 

Not a million miles off. There's balance I guess

Soumare Youri Wilf. 

 

That’s extremely underwhelming. 

3 of the most out of form players in the club. In the league actually. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Where's Ricardo at?

[whoareyaaa]

At least Nacho is back can this man save us again. 

[Cincinnati Fox]

That’s team has shithouse 1-0 all over it.

and then lose v West Ham next week and relegation

There's nothing ultra defensive about that midfield

Doesn't scream goals or creativity though besides Tielemans who's been out on loan the past 6 months

Maddison and Barnes on the bench?

 

Well I don;t know if they have been playing well or not but when you need to win not sure leaving 2 of your better attacking players out is wise. 

Or both going to Newcastle.

[Hamilton Fox]

Jeez very surprised about Maddison, to be fair we just can’t play 352 with Barnes playing so not surprised he’s out in that formation

[lozzyblue fox]

OMG Smith is worse than Rodgers.

What has he seen in the last few games that us the fans havent

[WoodyFox]

Whilst I’m glad he’s dropped Maddison and Barnes can’t believe he hasn’t changed the midfield 

[Fox1980]

What’s the obsession with Soumare 

[Onions]

Our plans to stay in the game until 75 and then try and steal a winner? 

 

It’s a 5 back with 2 CDM’s, it’s so negative. 

 

Let’s hope they’ve worked out a master plan

[bart]

I guess he's probably not been picked to get forward but I'm not convinced Thomas is a wing back. Ricardo injured again?

[davieG]

Playing for a point being that he doesn't know that repeating the same failure over and over is a sign of madness

[Dahnsouff]

Looks like the old “keep it tight and hope Maddison wins it for us in the second half” too me

[ian__marshall]

Not feeling confident with Faes in that backline. I suppose with the exception of Youri at least the rest are playing to decide if they'll be playing PL or Championship football next season, it at least gives them an incentive to try and win.
