    Lyon is as cold if not colder than Newcastle at this time of the year so weather can be ruled out but I'll give you the other one though I'm a believer of putting your best players out as much as possible,we'll see.

    Managers are managing a dressing room aswel and fans ignore the implications of dropping players that are in form

    Essentially there's alot to factor in to any decision Howe makes that we as fans don't know about or care to consider.

    I hope he starts, but if he doesn't there's some valid reasons behind not starting him

    Hmmm yes I assumed it was hotter, but It's 3 degrees hotter which is enough for me to get the deck chair and sunscreen out

    My main point is the main point I made I just added in the fact there's a breeze coming down from the Arctic ocean.. They rename it the north Sea on its way down, but it doesn't kid me any

    I'm happy to see his debut live against Villa as long as we still win tomorrow :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Howe only said that Dan Burn has a very slight niggle with his toe and indicated that all 5 new boys 'could' be involved vs Everton. He just said they need to all be assessed first to ensure they are ready and that the likes Guimaraes "may need time to adapt to the pace of the Premier League" - but you do that ON the pitch, not off it. Let's see the team sheet tomorrow night.

    I just watched his presser, he said all the new players are fit and ready to play apart from Burn.

    Can’t believe Burn is injured already <laugh>

    Ah well. I’d still start the other 4 but it would be highly unusual to see that. Personally think Bruno is so much better, I think he has to play. I get he’s probably in the red zone and hasn’t played here before etc, but he is so much better that I don’t think it matters.

    Trippier and Wood are shoe ins. I’d start Bruno. Maybe he will feel bad if he drops Dummett who has actually played quite well. Can’t believe Burns has helped him dodge the Lascelles decision. Couldn’t write it. I’ll support whoever is on the pitch though - we need these points. It’ll be massive for the feel good factor to win tomorrow.

    Yes just watched it myself and what he said I interpreted differently to what was written.

    Can't we just throw in a forfeit

    We don't really know what the sides going to be like now. It could potentially even be worse.. You just never know.

    Yes of course.. We wouldn't be the 1st club to spend money and it not work.

    I personally think the squad and side is stronger, but will it work? We can't be sure until they've played a few games

    Maybe this -


    ------------------Wood-------------------
    ASM--------------------------------Fraser
    ------Joelinton--Bruno--Shelvey------
    Targett----Burn/Lasc--Schar---Trippier
    ------------------Dubz----------------------------

    Sigh, wanted our line up to be stronger after the window.

    If you were to add Wilson to that I'd be a lot more confident.
