NUFC vs visiting team

[Zippity]

Newcastle XI: Ramsdale, Hall, Burn, Botman, Trippier, Joelinton, Ramsey, Barnes, Gordon, Elanga, Woltemade.

Subs: Pope, Thiaw, A Murphy, Livramento, Willock, J Murphy, Neave, Osula, Wissa.

Without Bruno, there's plenty of work-ethic but zero creativity so I can see why Woltermade is in; Xhaka will be all over him, though. Disappointed Tino isn't starting but I think taking Thiaw out is probably wise.

Shame we don't have a striker to take advantage of Ballard being out but maybe Gordon is that man.

Burn and Trippier starting again is a nightmare after wednesday but of course no surprise why not start the back 4 who were great at Chelsea ? Poor Woltemade lumped in midfield yet again and Gordon up front again no surprise but a total joke.

I really don't get it with Woltemade. He must be pretty pissed off surely??

[Zippity]

I would have thought this game was made for Willock's energy but, like I say, zero creativity. Not that Big Nick is specifically a creative player but he's got a nice lay-off and searching pass in him.

I fancy that clumpy, gurning cunt O'Nien for a red today.

Youd leave Burn on the bench for this game?!!

Yes and for the rest of the season Thiaw and Botman are our best central defence partnership as shown at Chelsea.

[Zippity]

Ahh, Elanga, man.

Great run but, having got there, should have got it on target.

[Zippity]

SMBs timewasting already.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssss

Superb control and calmness under pressure.

[Zippity]

Not sure what that does to our shape, Dan Burn by the corner flag on the right wing?

[OwdBillCook]

Great start!
WTF do I know?!?

Jeez, this site has gone slow again.....

[Zippity]

Mackems on top at the mo.

Yeah, site is shite currently.

[Zippity]

Far too much running and passing backwards from us for my liking.

Were not playing that well. Need to move up a gear second half.
