Match Day Thread Newcastle United v Chelsea

It is. I’ve liked this formation, we beat Arsenal and Man U with it.

 

5 2 3?

 

Missing hall and Joelinton only arguablely.

 

2 goalies on the bench again, marvellous!

 

There's surely no reason to change unless a player has to come off. Changes aren't mandatory and I think the players can play a full 90 at this point

 

That is quite odd. Ambitious. Could work kind.

 

I'm not sure it's ideal to be playing a different system at this juncture. Chelsea are in form and familiar with theirs.

Fingers crossed it works and causes them unforseen issues.

 

Could be a master stroke. It will be 5-2-3 I think.

Cant expect to much possession.

 

Could be, but I'm a tad worried about the look of that right hand side. Murphy is suspect in that role and Barnes loses so much on that side.

We'll see.

 

Edit: it’s a ****ing ridiculous decision.

 

Kiss of death

 

It's a concern until its seen working today.

 

Looks like a back 3/5 but wouldn’t be surprised to see Gordon playing up alongside Isak today. Good thing is if we are struggling to pick what’s happening Chelsea won’t have a clue and it’s also flexible so we can start one way and switch quickly to something different.

 

I'm not buying into the notion this is a great thing. The only reason we're doing this is because Joelinton and willock are injured.


It's a solution... Hopefully

 

TNT assuming is Gordon in the Cam role

 

HOWAYYYYY

 

Nice finish

 

It was. Good goal. And Murphy assist.

Just what we needed.

 

Burn has had a great season, but Tonali is clear in lead for player of the season.
