SUPERTOON Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Nervous for this one now, 3 points would be massive but think it’s going to be a really tight game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 My only real concern is that we're knackered after Sunday. That's the only thing this season that's really let us down, the commitment to win is always there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Curious to see if we rotate a few at all tonight or go with the same group if all are fit. I’d personally keep the same team and bring in the same subs earlier if needed. Fucking can’t wait man. Come on!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a pretty placid crowd I’m really tempted. Tickets are available on their site through their exchange scheme. I’ve sat in a couple away grounds and not had issues as I’ve not acted a dick. It’s always a bit concerning ordering a beer though! Edited April 5, 2023 by KetsbaiaIsBald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Am encouraged by their having won on Sunday too. Less desperate. It'll be close. A win would be a bonus. Just feels like a lot to ask to keep the wins going and when you see the efforts in previous games. So much more comfortable with home games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Wasn't it this fixture that Henri Saivet randomly played after being out in the cold for the previous 3 years? Then proceeded to give away the ball which led to a West Ham goal inside the first 5 minutes, but followed it up by scoring a free kick 2 minutes later?

Was just talking to my son about this very thing.... Yes it 100% was. Such a random fact, I had even forgotten about him being a Newcastle player until now and then to hear / read his name twice inside an hour is bizarre.

Doctor Zaius Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Aside from the dreadful error, Saivet played really well that game. Was never heard from again after that Edited April 5, 2023 by Doctor Zaius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Fuck me, the team that day NUFC: Elliot; Yedlin, Lascelles, Clark, Manquillo; Diame, Saivet, Atsu, Ritchie; Gayle; Joselu. Subs: Darlow, Mbemba, Dummett, Aarons, Haidara, Murphy, Perez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 We should be fine fitness/tiredness wise. They had no game for 2 weeks before Man Utd. Confident we can dominate midfield do enough to get the win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will absolutely pull people out if there is even a hint of injury though. Which is why I think Willock may drop to the bench and Joelinton starts tonight.

Rafa was a rotation man. You could win, be match fit, played well.... then sit on the bench next game - rotated. Simple. Likewise Klopp is one to manage minutes carefully but he only does it when approaching "the red zone". Pep too. EH will have to become a rotation man when we're in the CL next season.
