      Playing against a bunch of tall trees who have by far the stingiest defence in the league, conceding 13 goals in 22 matches. They've only lost once, but have 11 draws, also tops in the league.

      So a tough challenge, but can we build on Monday's success?

      Save my comments on PIF for another thread.

      Got to get the win to compete seriously for a top 4 place. Our pace up top could be the telling factor.
      They'll be coming at us so we need to have Mo & the road runner ready..

      One of the best memories of this season was beating this lot after their shithousery at Anfield. They are the only team I remember being booed off at Anfield, which is normally a place where teams can be shown some respect. They deserved none.
      Eddie Howe then denied all knowledge of his tactics.

      If we can win again we may well be back in it, somehow.

      There have been some high scoring games in the past, against Newcastle. Do not mind providing we come out on top. It is vital to start some sort of momentum, with so many important games coming up in the weeks ahead.

                                                                     Alisson
                                                        Trent  Matip Virgil  Robbo
                                                            Hendo       Fabinho
                                                                   Bacjetic
                                                          Salah   Gakpo  Nunez

                     Bench; Kelleher, Kostas,Gomez,Milner,Elliot,Jones Jota ,Bobby, Jones, Doak

      They say, you should never change a winning side, but in Virgil’s case we have to make a exception, I was surprised he wasn’t given 15/20 mins V Blueshite but then, Jürgen may have considered one of those dirty bas**rds doing some ABH and decided, nah too expensive a risk,

      Thought we showed glimpses of our old selves Monday but also bits n bobs of why were languishing half up the pipe, it was a much needed win of course but it will mean F**k all if we don’t back it up V ‘Toon’ who will provide a much sterner test than that shitty outfit did, dunno about you guys but felt as tho we finally turned that corner, it was certainly a more controlled performance, we pressed well for sustained periods, our tempo was better, passing was crisper, and the massive boost from the bench knowing Virgil, Jota & Bobby were imminent was a real shot in the arm,


      If we can play like we can again V Newcastle, and get the win, what a opportunity we’ll have of reaching the CL spots, it is a big IF, if we’re all honest but they haven’t had too much to worry about this season so far and we need to change that, put pressure on them, especially at the back and see how the cope with Darwin hunting them down at every opportunity,



      This has goals in it for sure, another 7 goal thriller, doubtful but you never know, I’d settle for a sloppy last seconds rebound off  Trippier’s arse bone if it meant three points and a win !!!

      I’ve got a good feeling about this game.
      I’ve unashamedly gone for 1-3
      This  is the start of barcodes seasonal decline. Get ready to see Howe spend £500 mill in the summer to correct it 😂

      Their defensive record is strangely ridiculous, their attack average. Don't quite know how they've done it tbh as their squad looks nothing special on paper. I imagine there'll lots of fouls and shithouse tactics so hopefully we can use our nous to overcome it. I would play the same team except with Virgil in.

      Odds are against us, but that's what will make it such a big win. Eager to see what kind of impact Virgil can have in his first game back.

      This is the real test really to see if there's a small chance at a top four battle or not. Everton game didn't tell us much in that regard.

      Will be a goal either way with them having an excellent defence but a blunt attack of late.

      I'm just wondering if we switch our MF up this game. Unlike shitshow Everton, Castle have speed up top. Maybe this isn't the best game for Fab to park his ass in front of the back line. Maybe Kieta or Elliott come in?

      Time for Núñez to start banging them in. He’s about 3 foot taller than trippier, should just be hanging out at the back post.
