OutByEaster? Posted December 19, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 19, 2015 I think most people would agree on dropping Gestede - I suspect then that with Gabby out of favour and Kozak seemingly not rated by the manager, we don't have anyone who can play up front on their own. From there you can get to this team pretty easily. I think the two up front would actually give us an opportunity to use Traore more. We could have gone with a 4-4-1 and Traore formation.

NSmith22 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Personally, I like this lineup. Everyone calls for Gestede to be dropped and as soon as he is they're onto b*tching about something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 We need to win games. That team looks like its been picked to try and scrape a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 2-0 newcastle best we can hope for is 0-0 as we are not scoring. gils probably not starting due to being lightweight i think this game may have been ideal for adama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Playing a diamond in midfield by the looks of it with 2 quick forwards, hopefully we are more solid and dont give up easy chances like we have recently. Still no Kozak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 That's a really poor lineup imo. Why have we put such a cautious team out? Come on Remi, that's disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a team shaped to stop Newcastle scoring ..... if it works ! No good scoring goals if the opposition score more. Priority is to stop them scoring - that gives us a chance of winning ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup that's how I saw it, hopefully we can keep it 0-0 then bring on Gil and Traore in the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most games teams look like they can score easily against us and we look like we struggle to create 2/3 decent chances.

abdomlahor Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Doesn't strike me as a cautious team as such. Veretout could be playing a bit more advanced with Sinclair up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 This team will never do anything until we start playing with a bit of width again. Having said that I hope this team selection ensures that I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I'd like to see Gil, Grealish or Traore in place of Sinclair but Gestede being dropped is all I was asking for so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
