WilliamPS

He has done v well this season, people should remember that as a CB he’s probably shattered having played 20+ games at LB, and had to get up and down the pitch thankfully he’s putting the effort in for the team as there’s no one to come in for him at the moment dont understand the armchair warriors desperate to find fault

Isak and Gordon in for Wilson and Almiron for me - but suspect it’ll be an unchanged side.

For me it’s time to start Isak, I think he offers more overall. Wilson isn’t lacking confidence though - an odd claim. He doesn’t score every chance, that’s all. He was confident enough to make the run and take it on. Almiron has gone a bit off the boil and Joelinton isn’t creative so Wilson hasn’t had as much around him. anyway for me, if Isak is fit it’s time he got a run

This Wembley for spectators is spot on. No bad views. Not the best for atmosphere, but that’s a different issue

Argument to say Miggy should be coming out for a bit, he has come off the boil. Gordon I think has played more on the right than the left

I’d be amazed and disappointed if Murphy is starting over ASM and Gordon. I’m a ASM fan and I’d go for him, but why sign a £45m wide attacker then start Murphy? I understand Newcastle are a defence first team, but scoring has become more difficult now teams come for the draw, so I do think you have to take a bit more risk and play your best attackers - especially absent Bruno

Don’t mind if they wear red and white striped pyjamas if they win

Am sure they used to, back when there were European home games I guess for the last decade it hasn’t made much difference

Haven’t achieved anything yet - no prizes given out in january

Thing with Chelsea’s summer transfers is they spent a load of money but not on anyone that special and they overpaid massively even on the decent players (100m on koulibaly and Fofana!) - some of the outlay this time looks a bit more quality

Be a disaster, he’s too slow for it

Gallagher has a contract until 2025 so if he wants to play AND Chelsea refuse to sell to a rival his options will be limited - especially if they currently consider Newcastle and Brighton rivals Palace and Fulham don’t tend to throw those sorts of sums around, so he’d only get loan interest from them. His options would be Villa, Everton, Leicester or West Ham

Agree madness from forest, but no way wood was on 100k

Good to see the age profile of the squad shifting; Isak, Botman, Ashby and Gordon all early 20’s, whereas the players who’ve left since end of last season pretty much all the other side of 30

Agree, but he handled his exit badly when fans were chucking in season tickets it is a bit harsh to abuse players who didn’t want to spend their careers at a club with no ambition, but better to go quietly rather than make any comment

Unfortunately that’s a totally myth about Kluivert, he was fat and lazy, he had no interest in putting a shift in and was just after another club to graze off. The .com match report for this game sums him up https://www.nufc.com/html/2004-05html/2004-11-20crystal-palace-a.html Then souness fell out with Bellamy, Robert and half the squad and sadly a good team was totally wrecked in about 6 months

Be surprised if Shelvey moves in January, would expect his focus to be on getting the games to trigger his extension. plus hardly well stocked in CM and he’s capable of doing a job there every so often

Bloke has barely played since September yet in the view of some in here he’s gone from the second best player in the squad to a no hoper in that time. When exactly did he become lazy? The attack is very flat with Almiron, Joelinton, Willock and Longstaff. with Bruno out the team will need a bit of creativity. Joelinton and Almiron are industrious triers but they are not creative And if ASM goes, he will need to be replaced in the squad with someone with similar attributes - dribbling, pace, ability to beat a man, as nobody else has that. And all this track back stuff - have you considered for a second if he is asked to play a different role to Joelinton or Willock as he has different skills? I.E. stay high up the pitch as an outlet I’m quite happy with the team as-is, but can’t stand the desperate need to hound players out of the club for imaginary wrongdoings

A standing area would be great - and based on the away experience it does help the atmosphere. Personally I prefer to stand at matches anyway However if you’re standing in a seating section of course you are going to get told to sit down - for a start not everyone sat behind can stand up for 90 mins so you’re ruining their view

I like Klopp but I think we’re close to the time he quits for a break. Liverpool still have a class squad and have been v unlucky with injuries but feels like the squad also need a change at the top, 8 years is a pretty long tenure these days

Shocking form people booking travel for thE final already Dont jinx this!

In years gone by I think it’s been season ticket holders who attended the cup games first, as the allocation is large enough they points become less relevant - but this is all 20 years out of date!

Not sure a CB will be priority when 2 have already been bought in the lat year and the midfield and forward line is desperately thin - not saying it wouldn’t be good, but if there’s a 100m to spend is that where it would go? Difficult RB seems to be a bit more of a priority due to Trippier needing cover.

Be disappointed if he is on the way out as he’s the most exciting player to watch - football is entertainment and he brings that. So I hope it’s all bollocks Am utterly bemused by the fans who prefer to see Joelinton start at left forward than ASM (much as I like Joelinton) and I hope if he does leave he’s replaced by someone with a bit of flair

Probably as most fans recognise he’s one of the best attackers at the club and they enjoy watching him play?
