KWP and Bednarek are on 4 yellows so have to tread carefully or they will miss the Newcastle match (perhaps KWP will be rested but Bedders basically has to play).!

Djenepo has already gone to the Afcon Cup so also out !

Tella now available.

Stephens and Lyanco out !

 

Maybe Perraud will get a spin out to protect KWP if he is on the tightrope.

Anthony Taylor’s on the whistle. And he can be a funny bugger in the middle - Martin Atkinson will be sat in the back of the Transit van in the north car park watching the TVs getting in Taylor’s ear

Just in case anyone's not seen the club message, there will be covid checks at new perimeter barriers today.  That will probably mean massive queues, so go early.

Newcastle have a lot of injuries and are claiming they are struggling to put a side together. 

No excuse, imo. We had shitloads of injuries last season without getting any matches called off. Just look at the team/squad fielded at Old Trafford, for example. Newcastle should be made to play their youth if needed, just as we had to.

It would be great to get back to back wins today :) im expecting that Ralph will make a few changes to keep things fresh with the quick turnaround in games. 2-1 to us - Stuart Armstrong and Broja to score COYR :)

So make him miss a game, to stop him missing another game? Isn't that self defeating? 🤔 Main reason not to play him would be if he was struggling to be fit for today's game given he played 2 days ago.

I always thought you forfeited the game if you couldn’t field a team? Seems to have gone out the window with covid

One of my favourite periods as a Saints fan with Shearer, Rod Wallace and Le Tiss causing havoc almost exactly 31 years ago to the day...

The 5 card threshold for suspensions ends on Saturday.

Much rather him play and be more potent against Newcastle, than him being nullified and possibly wound up by a bunch of players many of whom have known him for years and more likely to apply the dark arts to gain an advantage.

Actually it ends after after the 19th game which for Burnley will be towards the end of January.

So what? It is still making him miss a game to stop him missing a different game. It is self defeating.

They'll do all they can to call off the game against us. Different prospect in April when their new players are starting to have an impact.

Has to be played no squinnying out.

Wouldn't be surprised if the league allow them some leeway and give them the best chance to stay up as possible.

Much better for the Premier League to have them rather than Burnley or Watford next season.

Shane Long and Armstrong   Valery in defence. Our manager is a cretin

Valery will be right midfield. Either that or he's playing centreback and we've gone three at the back.

Initial look and I’m thinking wtf, where is Che Adams or have I missed something.

However before the hindsighters dig up this post later in the thread I’ll reserve judgement 

How drained does Tella have to be for instance to see Long start. I only hope this is to put him in the shop window for somewhere.

I very rareful criticise the lineup because I understand that you need different systems and personnel throughout the season, but that is just ridiculous. I can't see any justification for playing Valery rb, kwp lb, our other lb in midfield, Armstrong and bloody long as a starter. That seems mental.

It's one thing if we lose by fighting and giving it a good go against spurs but if we roll over and get hammered then really what is the point of a lineup like this? If this game goes how I think it may do then we might as well just play the youth team and go for the next one and yes I'm mightily pissed because I'm watching this game with my spurs supporting brother in law.

Looks like a 352 with Valery at RCB like we saw preseason. Kwp and Perraud at wing back, long and Arma up top.

Not holding out much hope for this one, feels like we sacked it off for the Newcastle game. Will reserve judgement on how clever that is until after that one.

Try kwp at rb. French geezer at lb and valery at rm.

Obviously an awful team but needs must. Broja's only just come back from injury and he took a couple of knocks on Sunday.

 

Hopefully it'll be 0-0 or maybe 0-1 and with 20 mins left we can bring on gamechangers.

Line up looks awful, assume same as Chelsea away in the cup with Valery as one of the back 5, Son and Kane will carve through that with ease. 

Long up front just makes me laugh. 

We'll really miss Romeu in the middle. 

Just hope we can hold out until HT and make some changes. 

0-3 prediction

Looks like 5 at the back with Valery and 2 attacking full backs. Expect Armstrong to be a 3rd central midfielder so we compete there. I’ve no issues with this until I see a forward 2 of Long and Armstrong. Absolutely no need to play 2 up front here if he thinks Broja needs a rest and Adams not ready - just play another attacking midfielder.

More likely to be 4222 with Walker-Peters and Perraud as fullbacks and Valery in midfield. Or Valery as a third centre back in a 352.

Wow, very surprising line up. Think you’re right TWar, 3-5-2. Looking to deal with Spurs and see what we can get, then all in for Newcastle.
