Apparently 3-5-2?


Subs: Betts, KMac, MLM, StefJo , Ayite, AK, Vietto

[Hoppus]

Ream and Odoi again.. 🙈

[ScalleysDad]

Back five? Seri, Cairney and Schurlle together in the midfield? Mitro had better be on fire.

yeah...Fosu Mensah is leaving in January so hopefully they've marked which loan player they want to replace him with.   Hopefully a fast, defensive mid with size.


Schurrle is a better finisher than AK47...but I'm not expecting much defending from him.


At least Burnley lost to Arsenal.     


Oh well...let's see if the Tinker man can get us at least a point today.

Ream and Odoi again.. 🙈

And Seri & Schurrle

[bahay18]

certainly got enough defenders . not a lot of pace without sess and  AK

[AnOldBrownie]

Ream and Odoi again.. 🙈

Looking at that bench...we don't have anyone else.


Same can be said about Schurrle and Seri.   We don't have better players to take their spots.  Unfortunately.   Unless you're going to experiment.   

I can't believe I'm going to say this...but I'd rather they play Seri than Stefjo.   

That January transfer window can't come soon enough.

Nothing in there to give us hope, Kamara dropped, Cairney and Seri still together, we lack pace and muscle.

officially 3-4-2-1

interesting, this could actually work out fine  082.gif

Whatever formation we play, (flexing between 3-5-2 or 5-3-2) a lot of responsibility on Christie and Bryan there.  Pretty attacking bench.  Fingers crossed.

Kamara will be on after an hour in a desperate attempt to reduce a 3-0 deficit.

A Christmas Miracle is needed !

Yes looks a bit different and could be designed with a clean sheet in mind. Lets review the situation after the first ten minutes and give it more thought if we are not a goal down by then.

3-0   Newcastle

It might but the players have to concentrate and stick to it. There is a lot on Mawson in this formation and Chambers is going to have to stay calm as defensively he could be left high and dry. Will this midfield click?

[grandad]

I just hope that Bryan & Christie don´t get stranded high up leaving Odoi & Ream exposed to a counter.Seen it before.

Ream and Odoi again.. 🙈

And Seri & Schurrle

Absolute joke selection again, bring back Joka all is (almost) forgiven, what is CR on??

[davew]

3-0   Newcastle

That will be the 1/2 time score, going for 5-1 at full time! There is Bob Hope and no hope, I know which 1 I think will apply today!

Yeah Newcastle will love it!! Feeling annoyed any we haven't even kicked off yet, let alone let in 2 goals in the 1st 20 minutes, can't wait to watch the match!
