      Pre-Match: Newcastle v Liverpool EPL (Wed 30th Dec 2020 8:00pm)
      Dec 28, 2020 07:50:30 am
      Starting the pre match thread for Wednesday because I am totally over the West Brom match.

      I would hope the 11 who started would all want to start again (Matip will be out for several weeks). Jürgen may want to rotate with another match next Monday, but I wouldn't be surprised at only Matip coming out of the team.

      Now, will Henderson drop to the back line, or will we see Rhys Williams or Nat Phillips step into the team?

      Will be interesting. January looks like a difficult month so we could do with gaining some momentum.

      Alison
      TAA
      Robertson
      Phillips
      Fabinho

      Gini
      Henderson
      Ox

      Salah
      Bobby
      Mane

      We have 5 days before Southampton so players shouldn’t need too much in the way of resting. After Southampton we have the FA cup where everyone can get a rest except for folk who need minutes like Thiago and keita and origi etc.

      Interesting that the next two games we play after everyone else. Hopefully that might give them all a kick up the arse as they see teams moving closer.

      Newcastle have been a bit hot and cold this season but mostly cold.

      Of all these three games this is surely the certain three pointer. Centre back roulette again though: Williams, Phillips or Henderson?

      Almost wondering if Phillips is about to leave. I know it seems counterintuitive given our injuries but he was apparently about to be sold to a Championship side and it fell through. Seems like he's behind Williams now and we've even seen Henderson play there ahead of him. I say this only if we are bringing a front line player in

      Hoping for a good response. Do you think yesterday was more physical or mental for us?

      Cant see the team changing much, Williams will probably start at CB, possibly the ox to get a start ahead of jones.

      Few more options from the bench now, with guys like shaq on the bench.

      Good question. I think the injuries and non stop fixtures have resulted in us looking tired. It must be taking its toll mentally.

      Looking forward to this game and putting Brom's sh*t show behind us. Jones rides the bench and Ox comes in. The rest of the lineup makes itself.

      Again, as I said pre WBA game, any win will suffice. We have seen 2 more rivals drop points today and 2 more have a game postponed. Win this sets us up nicely.

      Get over this then the saints set up the utd game then as a massive 6 pointer

      Scrappy 1 nil will do here

      Leicester and Chelsea both drop points, again.

      So another chance to separate from these two. Let's do it this time.

      Love the optimism, but there's probably a higher chance of me playing in this game than Thiago. I'd be impressed if he's a go against United but certainly not holding my breath on it.

      Not sure if its too early for a topic on the title battle but this shows again the mad season it is. And highlights the madness of the carry on from some here on Sunday night.

      For me the winning of this title will come down to results of games between the top 7, the current top 8 minus Villa who I think will fall off.

      So far in the games played between the top 7 the rable reads

      Liverpool 11/15
      Everton 10/15
      Spurs 7/18
      Leicester 7/15
      united 6/15
      City 2/12
      Chelsea 2/12

      The games left v each other

      Liverpool v united H, Spurs A, City H, Leicester A, Everton H, Chelsea H, united A

      Everton v Leicester H, united A, Liverpool A, Chelsea A, Spurs H, City A

      City v Chelsea A, lpool A, spurs H, united H, leicester A, Chelsea H, Everton H

      Utd v Liverpool.A, Everton H, Chelsea A, City A, Spurs A, Liverpool H Leicester H

      Leicester v Chelsea H, Everton A, Liverpol H, City H, united A, Chelsea A, Spurs H

      Spurs v Liverpool H, Chelsea H, City A,united H, Everton A, Leicester A

      Chelsea v city H, Leicester A, Spurs A, united H, Everton H, Liverpool A,, City A, Leicester H

      Everton v city to be rescheduled

      Going for a 2  0 win away at Newcastle. Sticking my neck out by predicting Curtis Jones scoring one of the goals !

      Forget what Newcastle are and what we are. This will be a much changed side and the value is probably with Newcastle because their back up defenders will be senior pros.

      Another game in 3 day. I'm expecting changes at the back, middle and front but the back line can't handle it.

      No more 1-0s please. 7-0 is better for my heart and mood.
