Match Day Thread Toon v Crying Bindippers

But you haven't answered the question. What would your starting 11 plus subs have been? Who would you have rested and who would you have risked.

 

What we would do is irrelevan.. these are side arguments raised to avoid accepting a factual statement I made that was refuted .

Im happy to answer that the minute you answer the question i asked that started this debate.

If howe picked dubs was it possible that newcastle would be without dubs and Pope due to a red card..yes or no ?

 

Dodging a question it seems. Wonder why? Insists others answer his questions but fails to answer Fat Boy’s question. Interesting.

 

Now I know you're joking which I find amusing.

I'll answer any separate questions surrounding ifs buts and maybes the minute people acknowledge the following

Hindsight was not required to know that a red card could leave us without Pope and Dubravka

 

So, who else would you have rested then?

Botman? Tripps? Joelinton? Any others?

Easy in hindsight when you know who got the red card.

Name your starting 11 plus 9 subs vs Liverpool, or stop pretending like you know everything.

 

Munse is getting a 1 week forum ban. But it's OK he'll be back after the final.

 

Which we will win. But if we don’t can I say it here now that we won’t.

 

Screenshotted.

 

So what you're saying is.......We know Chaos could be a pain in the arse this week, so rather than have him tell us all Eddie Howe has done as good as Steve Bruce come Sunday night, we could save ourselves the hassle by banning him now?

As opposed to not applying a ban and then saying "why the **** didn't we ban him?" come Sunday night.

 

Exactly this.

 

That is a fact I hope

 

If Dubs could have played there's no real problem, but playing Pope knowing if gets a red we drop down to Karius who hasn't played for 2 years was a risk, it just was.

I don't think any NUFC fan would have minded Dubs playing v Liverpool and would have understood why.

Yes it's unlikely that a keeper gets sent off but it happened and we've probably ****ed any chance we had of lifting the cup.

Even if he doesn't make any glaring errors, he just isn't anywhere near as good as Pope, won't command his box etc.

 

Excellent summary let's move on

 

I bet Howe is kicking himself tbh.

 

He'll believe in karius he's been excellent since arriving and a very important player

 

He even held Darlow back from going on loan til after the Southampton game so he didn't have to put Karius on the bench.

That's how much he believes in him.
