CORY

CORY

Who's Cory    

Exact line-up, I had in mind.

Grab three points and move onto the next match.

If we play with the same passion, we will win.

3 points and we’re back in it

Big game this evening.

Sting line up and hopefully that midfield can build on Mondays performance.

Make or break or as poster Benito puts it..."defining game of the season"...

Big game this evening.

Concerned about a referee overlooking Newcastle defenders slamming our players to the turf.

But defend well and we can get a result here.

Scores in the 3pm are going in our favour so far anyway.

Big 3 points if we can get them this evening

13 goals conceded in 22 games.  Decent from the barcodes.  We're going to have to be tight at the back - have Gomez and van Dijk played together this season or is this another new partnership for 22/23?

Not sure of Fab in midfield all their potency is from the pace of their front 3 - we know what Fab’s mobility is like at the moment in the middle of the pitch.

No big surprise with the line up. VVD back as expected. Jota & Firmino on the bench so pressure on the front 3.

Got to come out hot and not looking like we need a feckin' jump start..

Lots of tight games today. Someone has to win big so changed my mind, 3-0 comfortable victory for the redmen    Virg to dominate these c*nts and Nunez to terrorise their defence

The Last of the Mohicans

Any decent streams up yet?

Good to see VVD back, with Jota, Bob etc on the bench.
Not surprised Hendo, Fab etc getting another run after last time out
They've drawn a lot of recent games, so chance here if we can play like last week.
Need the front lads to start like they left off.
This is a BIG game imho, if we could win could be a turning point in the season with RM coming up.

COYRRRRsssssssssssssssss s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just hope VVD comes back like the VVD of 2019/2020 and not the one who has turned up this season so far. He’s been so lacklustre he makes Gomez look like prime maldini.

Still think we have enough to beat them.

However, after we take an early lead Newcastle will sucker punch is with two late goals.

1-2

Ok, match not even started and I'm already feart 😅, time to break out the vino - at least big Virg is back COYR

Where is Carvalho?

1-2

Thought after we scored 1 against Everton the front lads played with much more confidence.
Think if we can get the first, we go on to win.

There, I've F***ing jinxed us 

Just score first please.

Need to take advantage of today’s results tonight & also build some momentum.
Come on redmen.

There, I've f**king jinxed us 

TBF gapko looked much better against everton. Hoping he can pick up where he left off
