Mazzy Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Botman, Isak and Joelinton back for the final I reckon we get that down to 1-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola14 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 as always Newcastle will be facing the most in form team around in a finalĀ Ā we'll need some kind of miracleĀ Ā also Salah - how the fuck is he never injured or rested? plays every minute even when the game is effectively over, and he's in his 30s Ā doesn't seem fairĀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I think they can be got at. I don't think they're infallible.Ā Ā However. We'll need Isak, Botman and Joelinton. We'll need to take our chances and be impeccable defensively. We'll need them not at their best and a slice of luck. Ā Will it all come together? Very, very doubtful but I don't think it's an impossible task.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 We literally drew with them this season, being unlucky not to win. We had the better of them last season, with Nunez scoring those late goals to rob us of a win. Ā If we are on it, we have a chance and I think could beat them.

nemtizz Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 As long as I donāt hear āwe were distracted by the finalā as an excuse for our recent performances I donāt care about losing this.Ā Ā Obviously I will care but weāll never win anything with that mentality, even if the pressure is immense.

Whitley mag Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Major worry is that Tonali and Bruno look miles off it, this lot punish every mistake and whilst Isak will cause them problem if he gets the service, theyāll simply not make the errors we will and that will be the difference.

The midfield needs looked at in the summer for me itās still a major issue, just not sure Eddie thinks that, or even if he does that itāll be a priority unfortunately.

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I don't think we'll be playing a midfield 2 in the final, tbf, unless we have injuries. I felt a bit for Tonali & Bruno - it asked a lot of them. Ā Felt like Howe wanted to try something a bit different with the shape.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā We need one midfielder, yep. But it can't be a major restructure, can it? We're set with Bruno and Tonali.Ā Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Anybody that missed them, this is what the 90s finals felt like. Ā A final and everything but the games went exactly as everyone expected, to the point it was actually unexpected, like it was too obvious to go like that. Be a surprise if this is any better.

Itās why their real gripe should be with the NUST board (then not now) who made false promises and reneged on them.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
