I don’t really watch Newcastle (why would anyone?!) but I seem to remember that Saint Maximin played mostly on the left in the game at VP last year. I which case he’d be up against Cash if he plays there tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Targett went off injured last game which was only 3 days ago, do we know if he's fit? Playing Taylor could cost us the match, in previous games in which we've dominated the ball (because we will today) and had Taylor in the team has led to numerous breakdowns of attacks. I hope Nakamba doesnt come in for the suspended McGinn either, there is no need to play 2 x DMs against these lot. Play Grealish alongside Ramsey as 2 number 8s. Drop Barkley to the bench as hes been out for 2 months and looked completely off the pace, can he even manage 2 games in 3 days? Bring him on after 70 if we havent scored yet.

I would rather have Mings switched to LB and have Hause in, rather than have Taylor within 50 miles of the dressing room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 As far as I know, Smith said that Targett was just tired rather than injured. I’d expect he’ll play again tonight to try and get his fitness up. Hope so anyway as Taylor frightens me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I'd have Anwar starting with Barkley on the bench. I'm sorry but Barkley looked nowhere near fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think DS said it wasn't an injury, just fatigued and couldn't manage 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeps Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 One I expect us to win which worries me. I would be fuming if Newcastle ended their run against us, but it would not surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Bruce is in trouble. 1) He always pulls off a kebab shaped win, dropped on the floor but thank god, it was only touching the pavement for seconds. So he gets his lucky win and can boast about the kebab. 2) He hates our fans because he had to make that pathetic story about never being accepted. So he can use a win to shove it up our support again. He's as bitter as the aftershave he uses. Kebab Number 1 (btw) So yeah, I am worried. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieVillain Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Really looking forward to game and very confident about the win which being a Villa fan never sits easy with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Very confident about this one. I think the way Smith has his sides play is something Bruce massively struggles with and no Saint Maximin hugely negates their counter threat. Of course there’s always the chance he’ll shithouse a result but well control the game and create more chances, we just need to take them. - Looks like the rumours are Saint Maximin will be making the bench today Edited January 23, 2021 by penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Their fans convinced they’re going to get hammered, our fans convinced it’s 3 pts in the bag. Saint Maximin due to return. I’m nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Strangely, Andy Carroll is the only player I’m worried about. He puts in a shift, is technically good and has the ability to grab something from nothing. As long as our centre backs handle him, we win.

osmark86 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 This really should be a win for us as Newcastle are dire under Bruce. Could be frustrating if we don't take our chances. I fully expect them to sit back from the moment the whistle blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see us winning the game but VAR rules that it was in fact Man Utd that won and the points go to them instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
