TRon Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Didn’t want Joselu but like the team otherwise. Neither did I but I can respect Rafa's judgement, he obviously likes his link up play or something. Maybe he likes his passport and country of birth You can't always judge people by your own standards. Are you kidding me? He had his little Spanish colony in Liverpool and even in Napoli. Now he has one in Newcastle. Fast check if you don't believe me. Why isn't Gamez playing then? Why did Perez get dropped? Don't be pathetic man.

joeyt Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 They seem to have Gareth Barry playing in a two man midfield. Hayden and Merino should have enough energy to dominate him and Perez might get a bit more space than usual. They've never won a Premier League game on a Tuesday night apparently I reckon they'll be playing Barry, Livermore and Field in centre mid, with Robson Kanu and Phillips on the wing. Rondon up front obviously Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Don’t care what anyone says keeping Joselu in that team is a fucking shocking decision and an all round pisstake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Good to see Rodriguez isn't starting for them, always think he looks dangerous and pretty sure he's scored a few against us in the past. Confident we can get a result here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Well he's dropped Manquillo so its probablu not to do with him being Spanish like aye but its one in, one out so the quota stays the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Ritchie deserved to be dropped more than Shelvey. Ritchie won't go wandering tonight after his lapses on Saturday. He didn't go wandering last weekend, told to keep it narrow and he stuck to it and even when it was failing neither players nor manager changed it. Saw similar last season V Wolves when the tactics were quite obviously not working but the players were to scared to change it even slightly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 As a team I think that's nearer to achieving what we've done well this season. I'm just going to have to accept that Joselu is undroppable for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Need a big game from Yedlin tonight. Phillips on the wing for them has ability to punish any defensive/positional lapses. I know DeAndre is capable though, come on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Rafa's gone for a team featuring our best contributors as far as involvement and effort. Hardly surprising really. I like the team selection. Think we'll get a result tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Rafa on BBC Newcastle mentioning the abuse Yedlin got last game. Clearly reads the forums If he does I hope he's got thick skin or is good at picking and choosing which comments to take seriously and which discard as nonsense. Some crazy, irrational things get said online, especially on social media platforms, forums tend to be a bit better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Plenty of positives about that line up. Really??. Its a fucking awful excuse for a premier league team line up. Its a Championship team to all affect and its no wonder we cant score or get a sniff of a point at the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Im beginning to wonder if Rafa is being defiant now, and deliberately using Joselu because the club chose to bring him in instead of getting the Tammy deal done. Like an up yours! And hes now saying that type of thing in the press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
