Newcastle Away - Match Thread

[Tuna]

Confused Buona isn't playing but in Ruud we trust.

[StanSP]

Surprised Facundo doesn't start. And McAteer keeping his space. 

 

Skipp and Choudhury will get booked for sure

 

[Tuna]

Barnes is on the bench for them.

[Dr The Singh]

Surprise Buonanotte on bench. 

[chris1232]

Why buonnanote on the bench

[HighPeakFox]

I am guessing he's gone a little conservative for the first 60

[Pliskin]

Perhaps Ruud wants impact off the bench if needed!

[FrankieADZ]

surprised FB isnt playing if im honest, thought he'd come in for at least Ayew or even McAteer if im honest, as KM has looked alright but nothing much in terms of creativity

Ah that's why Ayew is on the bench

[Muzzy_no7]

Why the p*ss is McAthomas playing over Facundo?!

Because Skipp didn't travel...

[shen]

Excited if we get to see Cartwright tonight. Well done making the bench!

 

Edit: Also, what does Alves need to do get a spot on that bench?

Imagine McAteer is being used for his defensive contribution for the first 50/60 minutes.

 

Gordon and/or Barnes will be a nightmare for JJ, it's a scary thought. 

[Richmondfox]

Kasey needs to start switching his brain on rather than flapping and slowing down play.  
 

Excited to see how VK, Winks, Bilal and Mav can start to link attacks together

I assume he wants pace on the counter. Buonanotte to come off the bench for the last half hour.

It'll be impressive if Winks can do that from the treatment table!

That's not his brain, it's his technical ability. He'll pick up great positions then lose his mind when he gets it because he can't control a football.

Poor old Skipp.  Obviously out of favour.

I think this is why Hamza's in there. They may switch if JJ can't cope.

[whoareyaaa]

Thought Facundo would start even though he didn't have a great game last time out.

 

Still a decent line up.

Who the fk is Skipp on the teamsheet then? Or is he working from home?

Must fancy McAteers defensive abilities over Facundo, otherwise I see no reason why he's made that choice. Trust his decision though 

 

Just keep in the game for the first half, frustrated them, then there is a positive outcome available in this one.

 

Cone on lads

Read back...or rather, read the relevant similarly themed thread.

Probably improve to the required level.

He trains with the first team others obviously are better at this moment.
