Carlos in for Cash. Bailey in for Onana. Watkins in for Duran. Ramsey on the bench.

So much for persevering with the Kamara/Onana partnership.

Ah, Carlos and Pau protected by a midfield two with Tielemans in it. Against a good pressing team.

Just kill me now.

Kamara/Onana crucial to our improvement so I'm baffled but not as baffled as how Carlos gets in ahead of Mings.

Think the writing is on the wall for Tyrone.

Guess they've decided that neither Mings nor Torres can play on the right of the two.

If I say that XI is shit it will hopefully improve our chances. It's shit. Great that JJ is back.

I'll happily accept two fewer goals than last time. That should still be just enough to win.

Why Mings isn’t getting a look in ahead of chaos Carlos, I don’t know.

It's looking that way sadly. Carlos was always going to come back in with Cash out. Torres should have been dropped. Midfield setup looks a mess with Onana dropped despite being our best player at Newcastle.

Huge night for likes of Bailey and Watkins. Think McGinn will be at 10 with Rogers left.
