Yeah, I guess it would be like a 4-3-3 but with an offensive midfielder in Gordon. He has player there before for us, but only once I think. Possible, but unlikely imo.

sure they're not, but maybe someone on twitter will pick it up next time with your reputation for being right and then it spreads widely

Ship off to Saudi. All he got left is his name.

Saka to Newcastle would be great.

Quite confident with this formation. Botman has enough pace to keep their forward stuhm

Delighted to see Gordon back in there even if it's at the expense of Trippier, who'll be a miss. Fairly relaxed at this point. Have faith in the lads and the crowd to deliver.

Burn wouldn't be mobile enough.

1st thought on team news was ouch, that's lopsided and gonna be shite. 2nd thought was - Eddie won us a cup. See what happens. I'm probably the only one who would rather have Europa over CL simply as we can win it, and add to the collection. Plus it gives you CL next season and we'd be ready.

Game is on Amazon Prime, in case someone in Sweden has missed that

My point was BDB has played left back countless times and only Gordon would be asked to play in the position that willock would have but I can see either happening

The circle of Willock and Wilson™

Deffo 3-4-3 Our wingbacksnhave enough pace to keep neto and madueke under wraps. Burn might be tasked with following palmer

Who stops at one on a day like this? Guess who wins again...

He's fielding three wide attacking players and I think the main puzzle is how they're all going to fit in. I can't envisage Gordon in midfield because he can't tackle. I'm assuming Murphy, as the best tackler of the three, will go into midfield. Barnes is a good athlete and I could imagine him as a wing back, but whether he's played there before I don't know. Maybe Schar will be pushed forward to do a job on Palmer, like he did against Arsenal with Rice.

They'll certainly need to be a bit more conservative going forward. Also will need Gordon and Barnes to tuck in some to help in there.

I just don't see Howe ever going for a 4-2-3-1. 5-2-3 or 3-4-3 (basically the same those two) would at the very least be something that we have done before.

I'd like a long island iced tea and a Renault Turbo.

That's what I thought straight away but could be totally wrong. Gordon would arguably get through more work than him anyway and Gordon and Barnes doubling up on the left sounds unstoppable to me.

Highly doubt other teams are checking a newcastle forum for news Just stops any suspense and dread of who's playing, really

I took advice from Rio Ferdinand, so when I get frustrated by the lack of signings, I take matters into my own hands.

If we can get some money sell. Hes a nice guy but he cant be trusted.

Yeah, could be BDB left back and Gordon as a 10?

I'd expect Burn and/or Botman to come forward to snuff out any danger early, especially aerial balls. Also I'd expect the wing backs and wingers to provide extra protection if and when they can to avoid the midfield pair getting outnumbered consistently.

I thought he might go for Gordon in the willock role to limit totally changing everything around. That would have most playing in a position they're used to

Can’t be relied upon. Certainly on my list to sell. Sad to see but think this is a summer where we have to kick on and get in players who can contribute when we have 2 games a week.
