Fernandez and Kenedy apparently had the winter sickness bug that's been going around otherwise Fernandez would likely have played instead of Lascelles. Get the feeling he would have been in before Schar, who I don't think Rafa's fully fancied all season.

We're already ahead of 3 to be fair

Him and Ki in midfield for me when everyone's fit I think. Diame might run a bit more than Longstaff but Longstaff doesn't give it away as much so doesn't need to run as much.

Lejeune, Schar and Rondon do so much for the team. Means we've got a way to play it out from the back. Perez is great once the space opens up.

Wrong brother coming on Or is he the right one

Rondon you cunt.

Still yet to be convinced the slope at St James' plays a big part like. All a myth.

Sorry Lejeune, I've got a new center back love in now.

Sick of this league and it's shite refs.

STOP LETTING IT BOUNCE MAN YEDLIN

Lejeune's at it now Ref's shite, shock.

Please be okay Florian

Lejeune and Schar in a 3 though Fern in the middle instead of Jamaal and we're there.

I've been raging at Lascelles for being a thick twat lately both on and off the pitch but his hearts obviously been in the right place since he joined the club and still hope he'll get back into it on the pitch and start showing a bit more tact with what he says. Avatar will stay as it is. Last couple of years before this season have been some of the best times we've had in no small part thanks to his leadership.

He needs proper, serious medical help.

There's no chance Longstaff plays if there's two other midfielders fit. It's not the way Rafa works. Hayden will be there for his "Experience"

Why focus on that rather than his Serie A stats? That was 5-6 years ago and he's been decent since then. Who cares though, its a fake, nothing rumour.

Fucking hell man. I think I prefer Crumpy.

Nah. Riviere and Cisse both got injured within like a week so the little guy had to play up top.

In the championship he always made clever off the ball runs to get himself space so it didn't matter that he couldnt run away from people. Problem now is when you have to set up so rigid, he cant find that space. Its why he looked so much better at Bournemouth.

Newcastle's ruined him

I'd rather give Rossi a chance than Niasse

Could be the next Danny Guthrie.
