Newcastle United vs Huddersfield Town - 13/8/16 @ 3:00pm - No TV


Recommended Posts

Looking at the bibs looks like Colback, Hanley and Perez maybe not playing and Shelvey, Mbemba and Aarons are - unfortunately Anita looks like he is playing though

:thup:  That'd be nice.  Hope Shelvey doesn't sit too deep though.

Don't think Ritchie or Dummett are in any of the photos are they injured?

Not sure, but this one definitely looks like Dummett

Yeah that is defo but no Ritchie so maybe that's why Anita is playing and Diame on the wing?

I'm certain Ritchie will play, he probably just had a knock so they gave him the day off. The yellow bib side from last week was nearly spot on - Aarons for Anita the only change. I'm pretty sure the side he'll play tomorrow will be:

 

                          Sels

Janmaat  Mbemba  Lascelles  Dummett

 

    Ritchie  Hayden  Shelvey  Aarons

                        Diame

                        Gayle

 

I'd be pretty delighted with that, tbh. Think it's our strongest side, apart from Jesus for Dummett. I don't mind having a slightly more defensive full back behind Aarons, allows him to stay higher up the pitch and focus on breakaways, and he provides width on his own. If Shelvey takes left CM then he'll move up into that left forward area anyway. I think this will be a big year for Ayoze but I'd happily play Diame behind Gayle for this one. Gayle needs someone alongside him with a bit of presence, especially until Perez gets tuned into the league. Diame's a good focal point and we missed having someone dropping in front of the opposition defence against Fulham.

 

Hope Ritchie starts right, if he plays. Him and Janmaat have the ability to tear this league up. I know Shelvey is seen as a luxury but, the more I think about it, he's pretty imperative this year, IMO - without him in the spine of the team, there's literally nobody else who has much passing ability or vision. We'll struggle to break teams down without a good passer.

Can't wait for tomorrow, I'm such an idiot.

Same. Really should know better by now

Enjoy the game gentleman, hope has returned let's make the most of it.

 

I've not looked forward to a new season this much in about 15 years. Nearly skipped my way into Craven Cottage last week
