Greavsy 2,412 Posted February 14, 2017 Normal day, with an evening football match to look forward too.AN will field the strongest/best team he can, as will Rafa.Looking forward to it same as any other match, with the same 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, and nothing for a defeat. Won''t start getting excited until work finishes, and the team is announced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted February 14, 2017 What I''d do:Ruddy, Pinto, Martin, Klose, Dijks, Tettey, Howson, Wildschut, Pritchard, Wes, JeromeWhat Neil will do:Ruddy, Pinto (or whitts dep on injury), Martin, Klose, Dijks, Mulumbu, Howson, Tettey, Pritchard, Wildschut, Jerome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted February 14, 2017 Has AN ever played Mulumbu and Tettey together? I couldn''t think of any game which he had.Personally I would play them both, which will give a more stable defence and allow the full backs to stay higher up the pitch. Newcastle don''t play with much width as Ritchie tends to drift inside, so going around them could be an effective strategy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The gut 0 Posted February 14, 2017 I see what you are saying Bethnal but I don''t think we should be playing our two least talented players together. I think that would be a real message of lack of intent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 1,948 Posted February 14, 2017 Whittaker starting against the best frontline in the division. This will end well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willmeister 35 Posted February 14, 2017 Really not sure on that team. Appreciate that injuries has forced our hand, but after Saturday Pritchard and Josh deserved to keep their places. Hope I''m proved wrong. OTBC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted February 14, 2017 Delighted Hoolahan''s in the starting 11, but I have major concerns about Whitts. Gayle''s on the bench too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari_2 0 Posted February 14, 2017 Ruddy, Whitts, Klose, Martin, Dijks, Howson, Tettey, Jacob, Wes, Wiltschut, JeromePortuguese men of war injured. Pritchard only allowed to play against shit defences. Josh dropped for no reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clint 221 Posted February 14, 2017 Yep, I''m really not sure what sort of message that sends to Josh and Pritchard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,545 Posted February 14, 2017 Could have been worse, Whitts could have been at left back instead of right 🙄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,491 Posted February 14, 2017 Pinto a big, big miss and I''ve never had confidence in Whittaker, even though he is a pro and gives his all. I could see Jacob for Josh and Jerome for Nelson, even can see Tettey back as he is Neil''s go to player. But Ivo missing creates a terrible hole in defence.

canarydan23 4,060 Posted February 14, 2017 I was optimistic until I saw the lineup. I''d love to know what goes through his brain when coming up with that eleven.Only one change in Newcastle''s lineup. Are they fitter than us or something?I''d love to be proven wrong and see these changes as being a stroke of managerial genius; sadly I think Newcastle are going to continue to be the side that humiliate Neil and his decisions.

Darth Canary1 91 Posted February 14, 2017 I can only assume pinto, mulumbu and oli are injured. Whittaker makes sense. I guess we find out how it pans out very shortly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
