[FAC3R] Newcastle United vs. Bournemouth: 10/1/26 @ 15:00 (No UK TV)


Recommended Posts

We should be rotating heavily for this but have a bad feeling we won't, Man City game has to be the priority followed by the PSV game the week after. Even the Wolves game is bigger than this and we don't have the squad to compete on four fronts in the space of 10 days.

Were it not for the way we'd won it the other night, I'd probably be going into this feeling apprehensive. Fixture congestion, rotated side, bogey team... but got to have confidence thanks to the vibes atm. 

 

Obviously keen to progress but Man City is the bigger game and if we phone it in a bit at the weekend in favour of a massive performance in midweek, I probably won't shed too many tears.

It'd be ideal to rest Thiaw for this one, but I don't think we can. I think it'll be something like

 

Ramsdale

 

Trippier 

Thiaw

Botman

Tino

 

Ramsey 

Miley/Bruno

Willock 

 

Murphy 

Wissa 

Barnes

The injury situation (an underrated burden on our season imo) makes it so difficult to rotate. The academy players obviously aren't ready to start or we'd have seen them by now, but hopefully they can get some minutes off the bench. 

 

You'd want to give anyone a rest really but it's impossible to rest a CB and it's impossible to rest any of the established attacking players. The only options are at keeper, full-back and CM.

 

Surely Bruno has to be sat down for this one? Miley too tbh, he's so vital atm. Crucial to give Hall a rest too. 

 

                      Ramsdale

 

Trippier - Thiaw - Botman - A.Murphy

 

         Ramsey - Tonali - Willock 

 

    J.Murphy - Woltemade - Barnes

Aye, I’d love to win this and go on a run, but something has to give for us this season. We don’t have the squad to compete on four fronts.

Would imagine Ramsdale, Trippier, Livramento, A.Murphy, Ramsey and Willock come into the side as a minimum and we see Shahar, Neave, Alabi, maybe Seung-soo etc populate some of the bench spots.

Would keep Thiaw, Wally and Tonali in the side. All need some confidence for different reasons.

 

Trippier as captain and Alex Murphy at LB..Tino on the bench if needed.

 

Midfield of Tonali, Willock and Ramsey

 

If Murphy is fit he should play RW, Wally CF and Barnes on the LW

I can't quite put my finger on why Bournemouth irritate the living hell out of me. Just know that they irritate the living hell out of me and I hope they get relegated.

I know why they irritate me. It's because we don't seem to be able to win a game against them for toffee, they usually turn into Brazil 1970 when we face them but if you ever need them to do you a favour when playing a rival side they inevitably look like a crock of shit.

Because they’re a passionless boring Southern no mark of a club who have won the lottery of geography and rich owners.

Cause we always seem to fucking lose to them? Also I don't like the TV camera angle in their ground.
