    I honestly hate betting against us, but when I saw City’s odds I couldn’t resist. I’d rather the toon have win anyday but at least I made a bit!

    @Darren Peacock’s Ponytail

    Blueprint is there ..... don't know if other clubs can achieve it though of course.

    Just a little learner for you.

    I wonder if Howe will change the side for this game? Joelinton out more then likely and no willock.... injury problems mounting up already!

    Pretty sure Longstaff will come in but I'd prefer Anderson ... thought he played well vs City when he came on.

    I'd still play Guimareas ....City played like 5 in midfield basically against our 3.

    I'm not a betting man but would you both not have still scored if you placed your bets on both ??

    Anderson ahead of longstaff hopefully because he's a far superior player.

    I agree he is but he’s not a work horse like Joelinton/Longstaff

    I'd actually consider playing Gordon through the middle with Barnes left because midfield is far too slow .. we really miss willock ......I think this is why big clubs didn't fancy Guimareas because he's got the legs of Shelvey at 25.

    Call me naive and slow to notice form but I have faith that Bruno will soon turn his last performance around.

    He still covered more ground than anymore in the city game.. stat was shown on TV.

    He gets caught looking for passes too much and sometimes just needs to play the easy most obvious one.

    There's no way I'd drop him he's one of our best players by a mile. Newcastle didn't win a single game he didn't play in last season.

    Tonali and Bruno can graft. I'd start Anderson. I couldn't cope with decent chances dropping to Longstaff and him fluffing his lines.

    Bruno doesn’t graft. Tonali does but he’s meant to be the box to box

    So we replaced Longstaff with Tonali, therefore, if Big Joe gets injured, it wouldn't be acceptable to replace him with Anderson or Willock?
