Rod Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 7 hours ago, midds said: If Joelinton is out I wonder if we just try and match them up and go 4-2-3-1. Play Tonali and Bruno centrally, Barnes left, Murphy right and either Gordon or Willock in the centre behind Isak. Would be one way to get Gordon, Barnes and Murphy in the same XI. Just an idea like Not a bad shout to be fair. Not happen like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 7 hours ago, Ronaldo said: They’re a pretty poor side this season and how they’ve beaten us twice I don’t know. Should be aiming for a win but a draw will be an OK result in context. Time 1: we couldn't finish our breakfast Time 2: VAR offside noncery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which gives them confidence to have a go at us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Has a player ever had a more unwarranted tag of being a ‘bogeyman’ against us, than Danny Welbeck? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyBlanco Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Probably the biggest banana skin of our remaining games. I’ll be windmilling my little dick around if we can nick 3 points here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welbeck is a decent-to-good PL striker at least. In years gone by you could make a YouTube video of "versus Newcastle" where the likes of Jason Roberts, Shane Long, Jon Walters and Morten Gamst Pedersen all looked like Pele and Eusebio's long lost illegitimate son.

That’s a bogeyman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Got a lot of time for Welbeck. For such a classy finisher it's mad how few goals he's got over the years, relative to appearances. This is his best season since 2013/14; fair play to him tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 These have conceded at least 2 goals in each of their last 6 Premier League games, including against a Leicester side that hadn't scored in 8 games prior, and haven't scored in the 2 games since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Yeah, conceding 2 at home to both Leicester and West Ham must have Lord Howe excited. Obviously some weaknesses there to exploit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
