TRon Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I think we might see some changes at the back after the last couple of performances. Some shocking defending on show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I know it's Wraith (who knows less than us according to some), but maybe there are some big changes in the team tonight? Benitez said as much himself. Think we'll see at least a couple. I know he talked about the need to rotate when playing 2 games in 3/4 days, it sounds (or I'm hoping) like the tweets alluding to a surprising change. Probably not tbh.

shakey jake Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Where’s the best away fan beer then? The pub outside New Street station? There's a Wetherspoons about 5 mins walk from the station. We went there last season when we played Birmingham and it was pretty good. West Brom were playing Arsenal on the same day and there were a few West Brom fans in and it was a canny atmosphere. square peg i think its called Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 and I'd start Gayle and look to counter - their CBs are physical but not the quickest. It's just important that someone suitable plays behind Gayle, otherwise he gets no service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need everyone playing to their best tonight too but we can do this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavMcEl Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 If we don't win tonight we are well and truly fucked with Chelsea, arsenal and city 3 of or next 5 matches after this... we could be well and truly in the Shite !!!!

It's just important that someone suitable plays behind Gayle, otherwise he gets no service. Flaw in this plan of course is that not a single player in our squad is a good option playing just off Gayle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just important that someone suitable plays behind Gayle, otherwise he gets no service. Flaw in this plan of course is that not a single player in our squad is a good option playing just off Gayle. Diame I'm not usually one for advocating chucking players into random positions but I actually do think Merino would be good foil as a #10 for Gayle. Not that that's totally random, considering where he plays for the u21s. Strong & smart enough on the ball and always looking for early passes, his pressing could be very handy up top too. But his work in midfield is so good that it's hard to not keep him there when we're so easily exposed at the back. Shelvey in a highly-specific gameplan could work there but, you're right, not many options. I think 4-3-3 suits us the most, tbh. Not that it's suddenly going to turn us into a great side or anything, I just think it gives us the best balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Maybe Rafa is going to go 3 at the back? Hence the supposed big changes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Most important players to be dropped in order: 1) Joselu 2) Lejeune 3) Ritchie 4) Manquillo Would bring in Mitrovic, Mbemba, Aarons and Gamez/Dummett for these four. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Can’t see owt other than a WBA win here. They haven’t won in the league since August, we can’t score goals and are in poor touch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
