The Champions of Europe vs Newcastle United - Sat 14 Sept 1230 BST

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

f*** international football

 

18 from

 

Adrian, Kelleher

 

TAA, VVD, Matip, Robbo, Lovren, Gomez

 

Fab, Gini, Hendo, Ox, Milner, Shaq, Lallana, Naby

 

Mane, Salah, Bobby, Divock, Brewster

 

Away at Napoli on Tuesday after this - hardest group game, on paper, so would be nice to take all 3 points & use the squad efficiently

[Hightown Phil]

Adrian, Trent, van Dijk, Matip, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri, Salah, Origi, Mane for me Clive. 

 

Firmino and Fabinho shouldn't be put back in off a turnaround this short when we've got Napoli and Chelsea in the next week. 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

You're going Shaq eh? Brave but this is the sort of game we should be looking at that.

 

Naby's fit again so would be nice to get him on for a solid 20-30

[Hightown Phil]

Yeah, think Ox might start in Napoli otherwise I'd have him in here. Also reckon we might see a mad defence in Naples (Gomez, van Dijk, Lovren, Milner). 

[D.Boon]

Naby's fit again

There still plenty of time

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Yeah, think Ox might start in Napoli otherwise I'd have him in here. Also reckon we might see a mad defence in Naples (Gomez, van Dijk, Lovren, Milner). 

 

not losing there is the order of the day.

 

reckon we'll see Alisson back for either RBS in Europe on 2nd Oct or Leicester on 5th - however there's another f***ing international break after that so maybe leave it till the Mancs on the 20 Oct?

[Hightown Phil]

Don't think it really matters what the result is in Naples to be honest. We've got Salzburg at home and back to back games with Genk as the next 3 games after that. If we aren't through by the time we play Salzburg we'll have done something very wrong. 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

want to be top of the group though

 

plus the extra prize money

 

2.7m Euro for a win and 900k Euro for a draw

[Billy Talbot]

Don't think it really matters what the result is in Naples to be honest. We've got Salzburg at home and back to back games with Genk as the next 3 games after that. If we aren't through by the time we play Salzburg we'll have done something very wrong. 

 

Yeah, I'd take a rerun of last years results vs Napoli tbh. I fancy us to get better results than them in the other 4 games.  

[Cam]

It's f***ing Newcastle. It's Steve f*ucking Bruce. So...

 

Adrian

VvD

Fabinho

Ox Lallana

Salah Firmino Origi Brewster Mane Shaqiri

[psl]

Has Steve Bruce still got a good record against us or was that never a thing and I've just made it up?

It's a thing

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

I wondered that myself

It's a thing

 

there's the answer

[New York Red]

Anyone around for a few pints and a curry on Friday night?

[Murphman]

Anyone around for a few pints and a curry on Friday night?

 

Can't do it mate, anybody who hasn't met NYR is missing out, I think Leo might be  able to get there, come on lads..

[Earl Hafler]

I'll have a curry

 

Ring me when you get close

[cymrococh]

Is it against 'us' or just Benitez and Hodgson?

[Ombudsam]

Adrian, Trent, van Dijk, Matip, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Shaqiri, Salah, Origi, Mane for me Clive.

How are you arranging that front 4?

[New York Red]

How are you arranging that front 4?

Shaq as a little fireplug behind the front three.

[Case]

If Hendo has played 2 full games for England (?) keep him for Tuesday and play Fab, Milner, Gini (or Lallana )

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

I'll have a curry

 

Ring me when you get close

Haha

[New York Red]

Hey, we need to have a talk about agents fees. I think you are getting a bit too large a slice of the pie.

Lallana or Oxlade ahead of Shaqiri

Milner for Henderson maybe

4-2-3-1

Milner for Henderson maybe

I will run on to the pitch and sacrifice myself if Milner and Wijnaldum play in a midfield two.
