We should be going there to hit them early adding fuel to the fire. As much as it pains me I think we could see a return to 352 this weekend; McGregor Chester Dawson Davies Elmo Thudd Livermore Diame Robertson Jelly Hernandez
Defo go all out attack,I'd rest Robertson, seemed to struggle tracking back as a 442....I'd also give Davies a rest for one or two games, he's off form and any more bad games could dent his confidence for the rest of the season. I'm going Mcgregor Elmo Dawson Chester Rosie Huddlestone (holding) Ince (RCM) Ramirez (LCM Diame (CAM Jelavic Hernandez
Same as monday IMO with Ince on the bench in place of Ben Arfa who cannot play against his parent club.
Mcgregor Elmo Dawson Davies Robertson Huddlestone Livermore Diame Ramirez Jelavic Hernandez I'd rather see McGregor Rosenior Chester Dawson Robertson Elmo Huddlestone Diame Brady Jelavic Hernandez
I have a feeling he might go with this one, 352 as we were a bit open on Monday night, though he might rest Robertson and bring Rossy in at left back just to tighten things up a bit.
He's ineligible to face his parent club. He'll be sat in the stands. I'd expect the team will be the same as the one on Monday night, nobody has given SB any reason to change it round.
I expect to see that lineup. Sounds like Ramirez is still considered short of fitness to start, from Bruce's press conference. Him and Brady to come on second half if we need a spark, though.
I agree, might show he will keep the same shape as Monday, but rest Robertson and play Rossy at left back, as defensively Robertson has still a lot to learn.
If A-Bob can play, he will play. There's no chance he'll be dropped unless he isn't fit. I think he might play Rosie at RB and push Elmo forward.
I just feel away from home SB will look to be tighter the defence and A Bob on Monday evening was getting out of position at times. If you push Elmo forward, which with Rossy behind him I agree gets the best out of Elmo, and then play the diamond formation you probably have to drop Quinn and then play Livermore left side, which I guess could work.
McGregor Chester Dawson Davies Elmo Gaston Livermore Diame Robertson Brady Hernandez (I'd like to see that, obv won't be).
Well this I think is the reason 3-5-2 away from home in the Premier League. Newcastle have some quality in the wide areas, such as Cissokho and Aarons (who isn't fit thank goodness) and they'll punish us if we leave them too much space. I'd go with a 4-3-3 and have Hernandez and Elmo either side of Jelavic, with a midfield 3. So: ---------------------Mags----------- Rosenior -----Dawson------ Davies -----------A-Bob ---------Livermore---- Huddlestone---- Diame Elmo -------------Jelavic ----------Hernandez Subs: Harper, Chester, Quinn, Meyler, Aluko, Brady, Ramirez
Oh god were not still on the Rosy should be playing stuff still? Brucey has consistently picked Elmo over him. FACT. Robbo is going to be brilliant, he's just had a blip-you dont drop a young kid for a poor 45 minutes. Smashing lad that Rosy is he aint going to get picked regularly.
