Don't risk going out by trying to be clever....because we've won **** all since before the Titanic was discovered.
I agree, I think Miley has exceptional technical ability, but he's bullied out of the game by players with far more confidence, personality and strength. I saw him tracking back yesterday and he just was not effecting Ødergaard in the slightest, its like he wasn't even there.
My point is that it's a risk to play the whole team 3 days after they just played. It's not playing the second team so much as playing the freshest team.
So just to clarify, you want Eddie to play the best 11 we have available and go for it - even if some (like Willock & Isak) are just back from injury? And even if that risks further injury to put some players out of the upcoming league games? Just go for it in the cup, right? I just want to be clear up front, so that IF he does that, he's not then also blamed for causing player injuries. We can't have it both ways.
I actually agree with playing Willock & Isak in this one. But I can just see some jumping on Howe if he does and then they get injured. There is a double standards mentality with some. Chaos will be one of the first to blame Howe if we end up with players missing against Wolves because we tried in the cup.
Yes I do because the league is irrelevant this season to me now top 4 is gone... been saying this months. I want Newcastle to win a ****ing trophy for God's sake.
So do I mate. I just want to ensure that IF Eddie goes for it in the cup, he's not then lambasted if it results in players getting injured. Going for it means exactly that. It's taking a risk.
If we play a weak team and go out it's too late to think if only. We need to get through, get a good draw and we might have an outside chance of Wembley again. This imo is not the time to act like we've had and got a myriade of opportunity to win things. Wolves and 8th? Seriously who cares so get the clubs in the draw no ****ing about.
I'd like to see Barnes, Isak & Gordon up front. Not so much resting Miggy, more dropping him. Rest Miley if Willock is fit enough to start. Lad is young and has been played a lot. I'd like to see us start with: Karius Tripps Schar Botman Livramento Longstaff Bruno Willock Gordon Isak Barnes
