(seems to be the consensus on Blue Moon). Ederson Stones Khusanov Dias Gvardiol Gonzalez Nunes Savio Foden Marmoush Haaland They may have injuries and have focus on the return UCL game, but it's still a good team.

Lush Vlad Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Quote Howe gives team news update... Newcastle boss Eddie Howe gives updates on the fitness of Anthony Gordon, Sven Botman and Dan Burn: "Anthony should be fine, he had a thigh problem but has responded well to treatment and has been training. "There has been good news on the scan for Sven after his injury and it is not long-term. He will miss this weekend but hopefully won't miss games in the next few weeks. "For Dan, initially, it did not look positive. He's had a scan, and it looks good; he is very close for this weekend." Sounds like Burn might play. Botman will be March based on that and Howe’s usual doublespeak. A shame if Botman misses the next 3. Just the sort of defender we needed in these games. Forest and Liverpool in particular with the pace they have going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t associate Botman with pace mind. Kraft probably our quickest CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 2 minutes ago, LFEE said: I wouldn’t associate Botman with pace mind. Kraft probably our quickest CB. I’m not. We don’t have any quick CB’s. He is quicker into tackles and still holds up better going up against fast players than Schar or Burn. I think they all can be aggressive. But I would say he is less likely to get rolled and exposed than the other two. Hope Burn plays. Can match up with Haaland physically, at least.

jack j Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 What are people thinking we will start with for this? . 5-2-3 again with krafth for botman (looks like burn is fit) or willock coming in to make it a 4-3-3 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given City are not the most athletic side these days, I would think we'd want to go with a high press so back to a 4-3-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosstef Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Hope it's 4-3-3 with Little Joe in for Big Joe. He might be able to build on his form after his brace last weekend. Also, we need his legs in midfield against these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we need his legs in midfield against these. Bollocks to that. I hope it's 523, like against Arsenal (depending on which defenders are fit). The key with City is turning them around and making their defence nervous. They are psychologically weak at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I'm not convinced Burn will start. Howe did allude to him been potentially available, but then at the end of the conference said something about hoping his injury wasn't too serious. Hard to read how close he is.
