Match Day Thread Newcastle Utd vs Everton

I like the fact you went with "I hope". I'd even drop Lejeune for Clark, but think your 4-3-3 is the right formation particularly with 2 defensive full backs.

That said I think we could have a prediction league purely based on Rafa's selection, though we'd all be tied on 0 points!! So in terms of what will actually turn up, I think we'll see Joselu again. Honest, I do, I think the stats will claim he had a decent game in partnership with Gayle (i.e. number of flick-ons to a team-mate). I also think Diame will be in for Hayden, though I can't even begin to explain why that would happen. My Rafa prediction;

Elliot; Yedlin, Lascelles, Lejeune, Clark; Ritchie, Diame, Merino, Atsu; Gayle, Joselu.

 

Yeah, I think we all know Rafa will go with something very similar to your line up there but with Clark/Lejuene replaced by Manquillo unfortunately. Although I'd not be surprised to see Ritchie dropped for this one, citing the fixture list as the reason but I genuinely think Saturday Rafa lost patience with him and we could see Murphy retain his starting spot.

 

Elliot; Yedlin, Lascelles, Lejeune, Clark; Murphy, Shelvey, Merino, Atsu; Gayle, Joselu.

 

Joselu starting is about as predictable as a Harvey Weinstein sexual allegation.

 

This tickled me.....almost as much as Harvey

 

Really really could do with a win to take the pressure off a bit.

 

Looks like we are going 3-5-2.

 

Or not. 4-5-1 which is ok for me. Wonder what the atmosphere will be like.

 

BBC have
Darlow, Manquillo, Ritchie,
Joselu bench and no Mitro in squad

 

Sorry no Clark but rest as you said

 

And Diame

 

Darlow, Yedlin, Lacelles, Lejuene, Manquillo, Merino, Diame, Richie, shelvey, Atsu and Gayle

 

Just don't get it. Sorry.

 

****ing Diame! Rafa promised I would be happy!!!

 

We literally must have no other full backs. And here we go again, playing a fcking lump of **** in the No. 10 role, purely because we don't have a fcking no. 10. Takeover or not, this **** from Rafa really, really pisses me off.

 

Unless he knows he is getting a good sucking from the new owner then he needs to rinse that smug grin off of his face!

I don't mind the full back situation as we have no other options due to not buying anyone or injuries but Diame??? ****ing Slo Mo?? Perez? Play an U23 (reserve U21 U19 or u17) just anyone but this useless ****wit.

Rafa - man the **** up and play our best players! Not our ****tiest.

 

Lennon vs Manquillo …….. HaWay Lads . Rafas lost it.

 

My 92 year old grandma vs Manquillo! Now that would be a battle and a half.

 

anyone got a stream for this game?

doesnt matter thought this started at 7:30 for some reason!

Good luck 2 nite. we had it last year. its Kack.
