Newcastle (A) Premier League - 30/12/2020 - 20:00

[3 Stacks]

They've flimflammed the leaker. 

[Allan]

Newcastle XI: Darlow, Yedlin, Schar, Fernandez, Clark, Ritchie, Hayden, M. Longstaff, Murphy, Joelinton, Wilson

[an tha]

Not sure about Milner, Henderson and Jones as a midfield 3.

3 honest English lads. They'll get the refereeing decisions. 

[Grinch]

A mediocre Newcastle side with an injury list longer than ours.  No fucking excuses tonight. 

[niallers]

Maybe playing Henderson at the back and starting the ox may have served but I suppose klopp knows best

Yes Klopp doesn’t like to bring players back too soon. Gone are the days when we were so desperate for Sturridge to come in we rushed him back too many times before he was ready. (I’m talking pre Klopp)

Always liked Sturridge. Could have been a great were it not for injuries.

[John102]

May the power of Amazon Prime run through the players tonight.

Is our number 1 cheerleader Ally McCoist doing co-commentary this evening?

 

Hope so, he spends the 90 minutes counting nutmegs!

[Scooby Dudek]

Feeling calm and confident for this, I think after the last game we will be right at it.

Who knows could be last game for a while especially after Tony Hancock said football won't be suspended 

[dockers_strike]

Hmmmm. Bit surprised to see Curtis in midfield tonight and no Gini. Maybe an indication which was the wind is blowing with his contract stand off?

 

That's quite an attacking bench we have in reserve. Hope Jurgen uses it and is not forced to use it because we're chasing the game. Hendo, win the toss and make Newcastle run uphill in the 2nd half.

Good point, I think we’ll win because of Amazon Prime.

Indeed.

Who's this Thiago fella on the bench?

A good point well made, shame about those dirty diving foreign types ahead of them mind.

[diamondjoe]

Had a dream last night we'd win 2-0 and Curtis and xabi Alonso scored.

Regarding Gini, it could be that Jurgen wants to give him a good rest for Southampton. Don't think he's missed one game this season.

A new signing?

[Jordy Brouwer]

Gini has been run into the ground I wouldn't necessarily read too much into it.

To paraphrase Withnail and I "I demand your finest goals and I demand them now".

They’ll fancy their chances in the air I reckon. Henderson isn’t very good in the air, and Phillips is decent so I’m with Klopp on this one.

Yep. He also looked lacklustre vs West Brom and I certainly don't blame him for it. He has done unbelievably well this season to be available for almost every game, including games for the Dutch too.

[Code]

I was sure Bruce would play Carroll because of our CB situation.

Yes, could be.
