Thorpinho Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Its so like pardew. Blatantly obvious good selections available but manager making dinosaur choices. Unless this is a fitness/injury issue then he can just do one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 That's an attacking left back with Hendrick tucking into cover the overlap, with ASM on the right, Manq doesn't need to overlap. Looks quite sensible on paper, but it isn't if you don't fecking attack. Going forward that might work out okay. How do we lineup defensively though? Shelvey will be exposed in a midfield pairing.

buzza Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Think he will play a 433. Carrol as lead and asm and wilson wide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Fraser can’t be fit and you have to imagine we’ll be booting it up for Carroll to knock on to Wilson. Miggy will come on for Carroll at around 60, play off Wilson and Fraser will come on as well. I’ll not criticise the line up, first game, away from home never going to be too attacking a line up.

Dr Jinx Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Not totally disappointed with the line up. Hendrick and Hayden will have to keep their midfield quiet, get Shelvey on the ball to bring ASM and Wilson into things. Carroll will know their back line inside out.. he’ll know exactly where chances will come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Most of us have been saying for years that you shouldn't play Shelvey in a midfield 2, so maybe at last someone's cottoned on to the fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 You've had since Newcastle signed these players to get over the fact that Bruce will not use the formation or set of players that makes most sense to 99% of people that follows Newcastle and football in general. This was completely predictable and will be what you will have to live with if you watch/follow this team this season. That being said, the opponent is West Ham so there's always the chance of a jammy win or boring draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it 2 seasons ago it was S Longstaff v Rice down there & we made Rice look like Mattaus. ASM ruined them last season, I can’t see them playing such a high line this time.
