Match Thread Newcastle United v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Gordon has to start surely, same with Nkounkou. Wouldn't surprise me if he put Sigurdsson on the left and brought Gomes back in, hopefully he doesn't.

Every week it seems people are talking about Bernard being useful...what are ye basing this on?....

He's better than Iceland and Iwobi?

 

[Chegsy]

Only we can start well and end up going into a game with our first choice right back, left back, left winger and right winger all out.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Newcastle are one of the worst teams in the league. Be gutted with anything less than a win

 

[Gerbs]

Bernard stinks, I desperately hope he isn’t in the starting 11

Maybe they are better than we thought.

Not happy about this one at all. I feel a disturbance in the Force.

obviously take twatter rumors with a pinch of salt.

Reckon it should be 5 - 3 - 1-1 today . Pickford / Nkoukou / Keane / Mina / Godfrey / Kenny / Allan / Doucoure / Gomes / Bernard / DCL

This seems like the big call for the game - is Carlo going to keep the same formation or change it up.

With the players available 3 centre backs might mean we have fewest square pegs in round holes, although might go with Gordon instead of Bernard in the team you suggest.

If he keeps 433 then big question is in the wide forward positions where its 2 from 3 Iwobi, Gordon or Bernard. You’d think after last week Iwobi wouldn’t be starting but you never know, Carlo seems to prefer him to Gordon or Bernard.

On balance would go 3 at the back today I think, tough game with the players out. If we sneak a win then would be a tremendous result.

What’s the team ice?

 

[zaitken]

Desperate to win this one, but feel that there are far too many key players either absent or suspended that a draw will be the best we can hope for today. Have every confidence in a Gordon/Nkounkou side, despite their lack of PL experience, but a Kenny/Bernard/Iwobi on the right hand side doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. Wouldn't be surprised if Siggy is shifted to the wing.

Really Carlo?
