Match Day Thread NUFC v leicester

It's a home tie, a few games in at the start of the season so players should be peak fitness/sharpness, so relatively full strength. Even if that means starting the likes of Muto with Joelinton on the bench or pushing Richie further forward and Willems at LWB.

 

Darlow

Krafth
Fernandez
Francilette
Willems

Ki
M Longstaff
Scott

Muto
Aarons
Gayle

That's how I would probably go. Though I'd be tempted to pick Colback over Ki as he will actually run and attempt to tackle people.

 

I would have another CB instead of Ki. Either Clark or Lejeune if he's still not ducked up

 

Yeah I don't mind sticking with a 3. I just thought it might be a good idea to have another strong to the bow by practising a 4 in a match situation.

 

I see that but this squad can only just manage the current one. Don't want to over complicate it especially if we are using the back up players. They need to practice the main tactic for when a purple player is injured/ suspended/ can't be arsed

 

Too much information.

 

anyone know how many will be attending tomorrow ?
just drove along Strawberry Place and seen a queue standing outside the ticket office

unless it was a busload of Japanese tourists stopping off to take a photo of SBR statue

 

So Muto's starting tomorrow then?

 

never thought of that - that would explain it

 

I like the Ritchie idea, if Willems is what people think he is then it's win win. I suspect Shelvey will play, so 2 decisive ball players in midfield might be interesting.
Albeit, Ritchie on the right is his strength, and I don't think that works with Krafth.
I'm also of the play your best team school here, but that's not the modern way.

 

Perez will get it up the arse from the fans and score

 

Any idea on tv/streams?

 

If you're oppressed long enough, you become used to poor conditions.
This thread spells it all out beautifully.

Mike Ashley has killed the joy of Cup competition, because we KNOW that the Manager is TOLD to prioritise the Premier League and, as usual, the Newcastle United squad isn't anywhere near good enough to compete.

Enjoy the game, people!

 

Are leicester taking the cup serious ?? Hope not or were out given our injuries and im sure tired legs.

 

Even if we got through we would never win. It'll be one of the top 6 regardless.

 

It's on

So could be a stream knocking about somewhere.

 

I think that's Iranian telly.
Dunno if this is the same thing...

How is it only on Iranians telly? The damn lincoln city game is on espn here in the states. What a crock.

 

Lincoln City = poss Cup upset.
More than likely we are on Iranian telly as its an all prem clash.

 

Seven changes
