Judging by the front of their shirts NooCASTLE seem to be playing ten no. 4s

Haha, yes, I was about to ask, what happened to their no. 4, was it a concussion, and saw it was in fact their no. 5.

[JUAN PABLO]

Get him off free kicks

[Steve67]

Shit free kick. Get it right.

[Villan82]

What a shit free kick

[Legion]

Laughably poor.

I think Watkins is very lucky to start , so last chance saloon , so probably score today . I don't think we have much choice not playing Dougie as Chambers comes in at the back instead of DM .   Need more from SJM today ,he should relish this game . Great to see Leon on bench .

On the subject of 'The Last Chance Saloon' Luiz must be it's most regular customer. He has been a big let down for me in his time at the club and I think he is too reckless. Apparently he has a sixty six million quid release clause and any team who wants to trigger that must need their heads examining.

[Steve67]

SJM not so super there.  Don't give it away so easily please!!

[Risso]

McGinn needs to up his game. Dreadful ball, as usual.

[TonyD]

This set up really doesn’t bring McGinn into the game. 

[Steve67]

Fuck Luiz off.  He is shit on set pieces.

[Villan82]

shit corner.

[Risso]

Another Luiz set piece masterclass.
