    We will get hammered beyond belief. It’s a prime insurance bet.

    Get in their faces and hunt them down, continue to press the ball like if you don't get it back, you have to spend the night with bubba. These games are free swings and should be treat as such. Just have a right go, we've seen already this season they can be unsettled by this approach. We are going to lose, but keep the feel good going by having a go. Don't let the negativity seep back in.

    Watched Chelsea vs Sheffield yesterday - and Sheffield were trying to get forwards trying to create problems and got their reward with an OG - unfortunately they couldn't hold out against Chelsea but on another day could have got something. The opposite of that this weekend was Tottenham vs West Brom - honestly it was like watching Newcastle over the last few months - just sitting back praying for 0-0 no real idea how to get the ball forwards bar Snodgrass and Maitland-Niles and Tottenham could have had 5/6. Yes they had a goal ruled out for offside but I think they only had one shot on target all game in comparison to Sheffield who matched Chelsea pretty much in terms of shots/on target.

    If we sit in and hope for a draw 100% we will be picked off and lose, if we try and get the ball forwards with ASM Miggy and Frasr we have some pace up top to hurt them.

    Guaranteed Tuchel is putting his team forward saying they're going to have 70%+ possession, and working a gameplan accordingly. We need to surprise them by doing it differently, rather than a usual Bruce "surprise" of turning up with 3 right backs, 2 false 10's and 1 false 9.

    Joelinton is the greatest false 9 in the history of the game. Most people have trouble believing he's a f*cking footballer, let alone Newcastle's number 9

    You’re confusing false 9 with fake 9. Bruce does this all the time.

    Agree - we might as well have a go in the next two. While sitting back and soaking up pressure might feel good for the defence - it knocks all the confidence out of the midfield and forwards. Players like Almiron and St Maximin thrive on going forward and are finding form so go for it.

    I would go with:

    Darlow/Dubravka - don't really care which
    Krafth
    Dummett
    Clark
    Lewis
    Hayden
    Almiron
    St Maximin
    Willock
    Gayle
    Joelinton

    I would swap Joelinton for a Longstaff and push Almiron more forward.

    Dubravka
    Fraser for Joelinton

    And I'd go with that

    Playing 2 players is a bit risque

    Darlow / Dubravka, just play one at centre back, then just before kick-off say we're playing rush goalie!!

    Works when playing as a kid in the park, so can't be that different in PL surely!!

    But adding the three missing players would take that from 30% to 33%

    Not much of a difference really.

    To me, get Almiron and ASM on it and that's our only hope regardless of the other 9.

    If we play Rush goalie then we don't need Dubs or Darlow either. 10 up top!

    I agree with that other than Joelinton, the lads literally offers nothing in my opinion
