Newcastle (A) 13/9 Build up & Match day thread.

[Wilf Wolf]

Not a Scoobie how they’re going to line up.

 

[Templeton Peck]

That's kind of awesome.

3-5-2 im guessing

Mosquera Agbadou Toti
Gomes Andre Krejci Gomes Bueno
Hwang Arokodare

 

[AndyWolves]

532 - very defensively.

Arokodare will be isolated and we'll probably concede quite early

Got to be 3-5-2. The formation of my playing life. Stodgeball.

Hwang Arokodare

Pushing Gomes further forward presumably?

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

When did we last win the game straight after an international break?
From memory, we always seem to be crap after them.

Agree we’re getting beat. VP has to get a pass on this one though. Ludicrously late acquisitions and potential sales, then the FFS international break mean he’s got to cobble something together shotgun. We’ve basically only allowed him to get started with whatever he wants to do from Monday.

 

[Del Woppio]

Obviously I've never seen the new lad, but that midfield three isn't screaming creativity

 

[Jinky]

Ok, that’s different.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed we’ve stumbled on something. Please can we see the tea celebration this afternoon!

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Started scrolling down through the team on FotMob and was pleasantly surprised…then I got to the GK.

I hadn't noticed that. Cheers for ruining my next 49 minutes

 

[Mel Evo]

Like I say, crazy prep for this game so I’m not reading much into it. That said, 4 of our key summer signings start on the bench, 2 of them seemingly straight drops.

Nuno switched to a 352 quite successfully. Ever the optimist!

 

[Del Woppio]

Nuno had Moutinho and Neves though

 

[sycophantia]

Well so far my forest away day experience has been good. Ground is decent, concourse good, staff helpful.
It doesn't seem as high as I was expecting, it's a good view.
Just the match to get through now

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Nuno had Moutinho and Neves though

And Raul and Jota! The two up top need pace to make it work. No idea how quick Arokodare is but I know Hwang isn’t.

We can’t live in their collective shadow forever.

 

[Carsy]

Boooo! Don’t be that guy!

Was Raul that quick?

 

[AndyWolves]

Was Raul that quick?

I've never seen arokodare play, but Raul is better than him
