Toony Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 2 minutes ago, Dan said: Yeah got to admit I saw your line up today and my immediate thought was "relegation candidates". What do you think you need? I thought you'd have done more business than you have. Striker, full-backs, central midfielder and another centre-back. We will always be well organised under Rafa but I don't think we've got enough quality going the other way. Saying this, there's about 10 teams that could go down and nobody would be surprised.

To need 5 players after the season kicks off is absolutely horrendous on Newcastle's part. Should be 2 absolute maximum by now I think. Just reeks of poor organisation.

Honey Honey Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 2 hours ago, Toony said: Absolutely nothing going forward either, Atsu was good but Gayle won't do anything in this league. Shelvey runs the team and losing him will be massive. These next three games are ones we could be getting points from too, let's see if we can get any bodies in this next week or so. Gayle was pulling out today in my opinion. Playing frightened to get injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, no. Guillem Ballague says Joselu is joining for £5m We need an attacking centre mid on top of that and I would say are good to go til January.

Lucas Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Just seen the Jonjo Shelvey Red Card on MOTD2. What a thick cunt. As if he was ever going to get away with that. The ref was right infront of him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Jonjo Shelvey being captain and getting sent off... reminds me of a few years ago when Barton was captain and did the same thing vs Arsenal on their opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Apart from Barton being a big mouth imbecile... Both Shelvey and Barton have various things in common on the pitch. In saying this... I personally thought the sending off was harsh. There was some serious play-acting going in in the game. Like I said on Friday... La Liga has started a week early.

Problem is we don't have any money to replace Gayle in this financial model, we can only better Mitrovic really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 We will have a WORSE line up than the one that won at Huddersfield last season and they will have a better one than the one that lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Well it takes a lot for us not to win at Anfield but playing Luka at center back, still having Hennessey in goal, playing Townsend as a full back, and still having to rely on woe such and Chung-Yong Lee and Bakary Sako to replace Wilfried Zaha will probably do it. 3-0 Liverpool.

We've got Sturridge, Clyne, Lallana & Coutinho all missing and no doubt Klopp will rest a few with the CL qualifier a few days later in mind, so we are going into this seriously under strength. Wouldnt surprise me at all if you at least got a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 17, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted August 17, 2017 Wouldn't surprise me if we got something at City because they've always seemed to struggle against us but I'm not expecting anything unless we're absolutely amazing against Split tonight and finally look like a proper team.

True Blue Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 We usually bounce back from a bad performance/defeat, but we will find ourselves in deep water on Sunday. With injuries suspensions, Conte will struggle to create a starting 11. I think we will go with: Azpi -Christensen-Rudiger Moses-Luiz-Kante-Alonso Willian-Morata-Pedro(if fit) The backline is shaky, not in quality but they never played before together.

Happy Blue Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hope Pep plays a proper formation for this instead of the strange player selections he made last week, good to see Gundogan playing again and Mendy should be fit also Ederson Walker - Kompany - Stones - Danilo Sterling - Bernardo - De Bruyne - Silva - Sane Jesus BENCH:-Bravo, Mendy, Gundogan, Nasri, Roberts, Fernadinho, Aguero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted August 18, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted August 18, 2017 Can't see anything but a draw or loss for us at home on this one. Too much will be riding on the midweek game for Klopp to put a strong squad out. I'd even go so far as to say we might actually lose this game. Does anyone know why Robertson hasn't started yet?

Yes, Klopp says he's not adapted to the system yet, as embarrassing as that is. Apparently he's so far behind he's not even been deemed ready for a place in any of the match day squads.

Well you'd think that after 4 transfer windows Klopp and his recruitment team would have identified a LB that could have come and slotted straight in. Last season Moreno wasn't deemed good enough, so much so that a midfielder took the position yet here we are the season after with a new LB that can't even make the squad and Moreno re-instated. As I said, it's embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
