Trippier is wing back. I’ll give him 20 minutes before he is blowing it out his arse.

 

This is a mental lineup. Howe is gambling big time.

Not really Big Joe out, has to compensate somehow.

I hope ridiculing rum and vino consumption around 5pm was only that it should have started a lot earlier!

Yes, I'm in, looked at your banter for a while but the site did not have access for newcomers to enter and/or respond to threads, even those containing, let's say, misconceptions about errm, life, and City.

Anyway, just wanted to say good fuckin luck tonight, send them back to legoland, ta think again...

 

Some of us can't get to the games anymore and aren't bairns anymore with wives in the near vicinity. Five o'clock will do.

[Holden McGroin 7315]

We are just going to sit back the whole game and let them try to find a way past us. My issue with this is they will force a lot of corners - which they are extremely dangerous from. 
 

If we concede 2 or 3 we’ll never be able to find our way back as our mentality is just to defend for the whole game.

 

Ballsy by Eddie but this could come back to haunt him. The only time I recall him starting 5 at the back was v Man City away in the cup, which ended badly.

Craig Hope is a cunt. That is all.

We won 2-0 at their ground with Willock playing. 
 

I wonder if he is playing another big CB for the expected aerial bombardment the Spanish Pulis plays.

I’m not sure my heart will take 90+ minutes of defending. 

[Gemmill 48723]

We've got a 2 nil lead and rapid lads who can be lethal on the break. Let's see what happens.

That's very fucking nice of you to say so... and may I say, the very best of luck with all your future fucking endeavours.

WTF is that team!!! Stinks of surrender (@Ewerk bookmark   )

 

Fucking hell, thought we were going to take the game to them not sit back and let them swarm forward. And Trippier FFS.

 

Was already nervous before this.

 

Gobsmacked!

Have you been drinking?

I'm not liking this personally. Change on this scale for this match is a big risk. 

 

[Gemmill 48723]

I'm still in the living room BTW. I'll let you all know when I'm on the bed. 

[Holden McGroin 7315]

If you’re playing wing backs you’d expect him to go Tino, who is rapid up and down the line.

 

Strap in boys. This is going to tense.

[ewerk 32488]

Where’s the Arsenal pundit? Did Merse get side tracked injecting himself with smack round at Alex’s gaff?

Hall playing midfield. No back 5.

Arteta WAMBOOZLED! 

[Gemmill 48723]

McGroin PANTSPLATTERED!

[Holden McGroin 7315]

Is that definite? 
 

So that’s Burn at LB and Hall in midfield. This is still a massive gamble.

That is interesting to see. Where is Gordon? 

[Rayvin 5789]

Not sure there's enough rum in Newcastle to calm my nerves on this...

That’s how they were lining up in the warm up. Hall has played CM for Chelsea. Howe will have tried it out during the week and obviously thinks it can work.

I assume it's a straight swap for Joelinton, think I remember that Hall can play Left centre mid too?

[ewerk 32488]

If we move ground can we make it part of the deal that we never hear Local Hero again?
