Quote from: brontebilly on August 20, 2021, 07:39:53 PMIs the dreaded three at the back worth considering here given injuries? Like we saw in the championship, Tuanzebe is more than capable of creating an extra man in midfield with the ball. ------------Martinez----Konsa, Tuanzebe, MingsGuilbert, Luiz, Ramsey, Young--------McGinn, Ings, BuendiaGive McGinn and Buendia a bit more freedom to attack the likes of Clark one on one. Appreciate there is more chance of Sasa Curcic playing ahead of Guilbert under Smith...but Cash can't continue to be an automatic first pick if his poor form continues. Have a horrible feeling Smith will fudge it and put Konsa or Tuanzebe in there instead. We’re playing Steve Bruce’s Newcastle not PSG. That’s not to be complacent but we know that they’re likely to sit and try to hit us on the break so no need for us to be too negative.

Important we win this one. Coming out of games against Watford and Newcastle without a win would be a really bad start. It’s especially important we start getting positive results quickly otherwise belief in the post Grealish era will quickly evaporate.

Where you watching it? Where you going for breakfast?To be fair, it's quite a conundrum trying to put this team together, I find it quite interesting. For two years now our team has pretty much picked itself.As for the weather, it might be quite wet! Who do you think you are, a meteorologist?

My meteorological training took over 90 seconds to make that guess.
