Team news is everyone that matters is fit except Martial who's 'touch and go' so expect him to be on the bench. McTominay is suspended so there's some good news. Newcastle have a few injury concerns of their own. Expecting an open attacking game from both sides. Control the midfield and we win imo. Lose and the toons leap frog us in the table.
He'd be ok today, it's when we play decent opposition he hides. Anyway, he can't play and for that I'm grateful. Newcastle getting their excuses in early as they've got some injuries and ****e players apparently. I'd expect us to win this, will give you all a wave.
So much so they took him off. I thought your lot were decent first half but did **** all second half. Probably why you all celebrated a nil nil draw like you'd won. For a bunch of big lads, they don't half spend a lot of time rolling around on the pitch pretending to be injured.
Anyway, we missed Eriksen today. Fred is a headless chicken, he's never actually in control of the ball at any time. Lots of running around and giving the ball away. As did Dalot first half. My mate McTominay would have been a better bet than Fred! Big improvement second half but at some point the forwards need to actually take a shot once in a while. Try to ****ing score.
I have said this about Fred before, including the last match against Omonia the other night. His passing and general link up play is completely hit and miss...mostly miss.
I think you missed Ronaldo today, ask Rashford But seriously, we had major injuries as well. ASM or Isak on the pitch might have made the difference to our goals for column. We didn't come for just a draw.
