LIKELY TEAM AT NEWCASTLE

[Tubey]

thats a new formation.

1-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

I'm ahead of the curve FFS

 

[Jamo Martinez]

But I'd prefer this:

I never want to see Osman wasted out wide.

......felli will play the Gibbo defensive midfield role imo. The concern I have is that he sometimes takes a game or two to get up to speed. I'm afraid I haven't been impressed by Hitz and feel we are at rock bottom when I see him in the starting 11. Peanuts hobbling off is a worry, I just hope they can patch him up.

Is Pienaar injured or what?

....earlier reference in this thread indicates he might be but suspect thats because he hobbled off against Chelsea.

Ah ok.

Well I'd usually go on what Bally said in his opening post as its usually very accurate so let's hope he's ok.

Anichebe did well up against Chelsea's left back, pressurising and bullying him. Newcastle's full backs might be getting the same treatment. He deserves to stay in the team.

This team has been all over twitter for over 24 hours. That guy on twitter seems to know his stuff. This is same team he broke yesterday. Does Alan Ball take this from there?

 

[Teesside Toffee]

Victor is best used down the middle alongside Jelavic. Id rather see him in a more central position and keep Naismith out wide.

Naismith has been brutal lately and dont remember him touching the ball against Chelsea, but we have to persist with him at the moment.

Neville just said on twitter he is being rested again. He was talking to his brother so could have been a joke, dunno.

 

[jaybeerex]

I Didn't think he'd be back TBH, same back 4 as chelsea.

Looks like a joke. But hard to tell with him.

 

[GwladysBlue]

How can Coleman go from 'having a chance' against Chelsea to not playing in this game? Finch Farm must be like Narnia!

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Will be more than happy with that XI, we'll batter them with that.

 

[Bullet_Rain]

It's that lads.

I would sign for this. Nev out, Heitinga in.

And somehow, Hitzlsperger doesn't make me tick. I'd put Naismith in there, but maybe too much of a holding role for him?
