It worked today... 1st goal from one

Redmond and Broja did a lot of high intensity sprints 2 days ago. Tella on bench after missing due to Covid.

He is on the bench after having Covid... just like Hasenhüttl said he would be in the pre match press conference.

More likely to be 4222 with Walker-Peters and Perraud as fullbacks and Valery in midfield. Or Valery as a third centre back in a 352.

So what? It is still making him miss a game to stop him missing a different game. It is self defeating.

So make him miss a game, to stop him missing another game? Isn't that self defeating? 🤔 Main reason not to play him would be if he was struggling to be fit for today's game given he played 2 days ago.

Hayden was suspended vs Man Utd, he is not suspended vs Everton or Saints so that only leaves them one down. Plus covid cases Newcastle have may be out of isolation before Sunday.

It isn't a spat. It is a question asking you to explain what you meant. Hardly unreasonable!

You didn’t answer the question... I asked why is it ridiculous?

Why is it ridiculous? Did you think it was ridiculous throughout 2020? Sure we haven't done great during 2021, but I think that shows it isn't the formation that was the problem.

Isaac Hayden was suspended and missed last night's game, but he can now play for them vs Everton and Saints. Plus covid cases they had for last night's game may well be back for the Saints game as it is still a few days away on Sunday.

I don't think that relevant to the rules, as there was no attempt to go for the ball.

He did not cost £15m. It was £10m rising to £13.5m and given he didn't play much the extra payments probably would not have been met. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44771592

Our best striker...

Where should this squad be in the league given our wage and transfer budget?

Broja signed a 5 year deal shortly before we signed him. So little incentive for Chelsea to sell him, like they did with Livramento who only had a year left and refused to extend his deal.

One game from halfway through the season and Ralph Hasenhüttl has a poorly funded Saints only 2 points away from 9th place Leicester City. Given the financial resources he has available without a takeover he is doing pretty well. 😇

Nope, it due to Covid...

Every single Premier League game is live on TV in non UK regions, this one is not on live in the UK. Streams are available for every single match from all the usual places.

I'd prefer him not to be needed to make any saves at all in a comfortable victory. A stellar performance from our keeper suggests something is going wrong in the game for us. 😉
