JRM Posted 5 February, 2021 Share Posted 5 February, 2021 5 minutes ago, Appy said: Bruce saying we’re nearly back to full strength 😂 He's really pushing hard to get away from the story being losing to a 9-0 beaten injury ravaged team, painting the picture now that we have players back and it is in fact his side who have the injury crisis. I don't know enough about the players he's listed as out to know if they play regularly anyway, or what the replacements are like. Doubt they are scraping the barrel like we did at Old Trafford. What I do know is I've seen us suffer at the pace of Saint-Maximin, the long distance shots and shithousery or Shelvey and the brute force aerial presence of Carroll, Callum Wilson likes a goal against us as well, all of those players are available. We've got to be due a win up there, miss the days when we could always bank on a Le Tissier screamer every time we played the Geordies. Both sides on a poor run. Newcastle looked good away to Everton last weekend but haven't won at home for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he did, that's what I believed, I've since been told it was more about a falling out with the club. Him breaking protocols, going home to France at Christmas and allegedly not behaving himself generally. Not saying he didn't have it, but it apparently wasn't the reason for the long absence. He's looked pretty impressive the two times I have seen him recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might see this as a good opportunity to start him and see how he fairs. 1 because they’ve been in a terrible run of form and Bruce needs a win 2 because he’ll likely be up against Ramsey, who isn’t up to it.

I get the feeling that KWP is the least likely to feature. We have to play Romeu if available, but I would not risk Vest, when we have others who are not only available but also keen to put right what happened the other night. Hopefully he won't drop Mccarthy, though he could, I'm sure Forster would like to play up there. Destroyed Gunn when he got dropped after the Leicester debacle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Lascelles will be the big miss miss for them, he's the pillar of their defence, good in the air and gets the Bednarek style blocks in, also scores from corners. Lewis is the young ex-Norwich left back, good going forward but not consistent this season. Fernandez, not a key player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling that KWP is the least likely to feature. We have to play Romeu if available, but I would not risk Vest, Its an interesting conundrum. You're right that Romeu has only missed the one game, but before his return in the Villa game he was out for about 4 weeks (he last played before that on 29th December against West Ham). KWP, on the other hand, last played against Arsenal in the cup on Jan 23rd, so although he's missed 3 matches, he's only been out for 2 weeks. Of course, we have no way of assessing the extent of the injuries they suffered. I agree with you about Vestergaard. It wasn't even clear if he has returned to full training, so I'd be very surprised if he was risked, but who knows? (Ralph, I suppose!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddeer Posted 5 February, 2021 Share Posted 5 February, 2021 (edited) Dean is a disgrace. Just watched Ralph's pre-Newcastle video and they showed the clip at the end of the Man Utd match.

Alex Mc Ramsey Bednarek Vest Bertrand Djenepo Romeu JWP Minamino Ings Adams I wouldn't play Ramsey over Stephens personally, and certainly wouldn't put Djenepo on the same side as him again. Two lambs to the slaughter against United and I we can't repeat that. If Djenepo is on the right I'd want the experience of Stephens at RB. Nervousness is understandable but I'm feeling good about this. I think we'll see a huge reaction and get something from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
