Wasn't aware what league Bradford City are in these days, they're top of league one apparently. We've gone out to much worse But anyway enough football talk, **** off everyone.
Bradford will have a big following on Wednesday. There is absolutely no way we start Bruno or Joelinton in this game. Suspect the team will be: Ramsdale Kraft Thiaw Botman Hall Willock Tonali Miley Barnes Murphy Gordon
Think it will be a similar formation to Bournemouth - 3 at the back again, resting as many as possible for the weekend - but with Bruno missing his first game in 60 odd games think he will start. Rambo Thiaw-Lascelles-Botman Krafth-Miley-Bruno-Hall Elanga-Gordon-Willock
Don’t get me wrong - I don’t disagree with you, think Howe had the chance to go 4-2-3-1 but instead went more defensive and went 3-4-3 which imho was a mistake. As you say no intensity or aggression, very dull watch at the weekend and congratulations on only falling asleep the thrice! Think he’s going to rest as many for Arsenal at the weekend as possible and that the formation “suits” the players coming in - defensively solid - and allows him to rest as many starting XI as possible while getting mins into the fringe players.
Referee: Thomas Kirk --- 1st time reffing Newcastle don't aske me who as I haven't a clue he has only started reffing in the championship last year 2 year ago he was reffing league 2 without VAR to bail him out I'm expecting some very weird decisions Assistant Referees: Mark Scholes and Andrew Fox Fourth Official: Anthony Backhouse
If Howe starts with Barnes and Trippier I'm expecting a lively start to the game on here tonight. If Bradford score first there will be wet sheets aplenty. I can't wait, don't let me down lads..
Hopefully everyone will be nice and wholesome to each other. Fancy another trophy? Saw a few fans celebrating goals last night.. Almost as if they want this cup afterall.
