True.

Because of injuries/sickness/being shitness doesn't especially mean they're AWOL

don't even blame @chicoazul for not bothering with a preview for this game.

doubt i'll watch this one. turned the last two off after 60 mins and 38 mins respectively - we're so so bad. use to watch the 20 min highlights after nearly every match last season - crap this year though

Mirallas and Stones not in the squad.

so its Distin and Alcaraz at the back? Naismith suspended so Mcgeady will play? when you can buy money you should, cover some of those Christmas credit card bills, Newcastle to win.

With the injuries I assume the team will be

Joel

Coleman
Alcaraz
Distin
Baines

McCarthy
Barry

McGeady
Eto'o
Barkley

Lukaku

I'm not fully in disagreement with that assessment, but with Barry and Alcaraz at CB we would be 3 down inside 25 minutes to three hoof-and-chase goals, because both of them lack pace and turn slower than milk. CB's first job is to defend, and in the modern game you simply can't defend effectively if both your CBs are slow.

How about Browning and one of your two, as a compromise? Or Alcaraz and Distin?

Just gonna vault myself here - called it a game in advance as a bad idea and was proved right against Hull.

I think I called correctly how we were going back in September! It just hasn't been a good season so far. Teams are seeing us as an easy touch and we should NEVER be that.
