Chance to go three points clear at the top, pretty much everyone else is inconsistent so a win tomorrow would consolidate top position.
The squad welcome back Macallister and Jota which is great timing, we lose Salah and Endo after the match tomorrow so getting those two back keeps up the squad depth.
Squad is looking strong and injuries gradually coming back, we should be able to attack Newcastle right from the first whistle as we have had five days rest.
My team for the game:
.................Allison........
.....Konate..VVD..Gomez
..........TAA.......Endo.....
..........Szlob....Curtis
Salah.......Gakpo......Nunez
Bench: Quansah..Bradley..Kelleher..Macca..Elliott..
..Gravenberch..Jota..Diaz..
Injuries: Kostas..Matip..Robertson..Thiago..Bajcetic..Doak
(Robertson and Thiago are closest to a return..Jan/Feb time expected)
Prediction: 3-0

if we pull trent narrow as normal newcastle have a big chance.
this failed attempt at inverted full back system.must end
the only way this system works is if wide players stay very wide and ours don't so we play in 2/3rds of the park if we are lucky.
the west ham league cup game was like a breath of fresh air to watch. genuine width and options to pass to.

Inverted has failed when we are top of the league? Also in all the cups?

Same applies to this though Kash. So inverted has already succeeded because we are top and in all cups? We didn't even make too 4 last season with inverted.
But still, I get where you're coming from. I think the changes in midfield have made a huge difference between last season and this season.
I reckon we are still good enough to beat any team while playing the inverted system. It's not the end of the world, but I think there's a decent chance we could be better without inverted IMO.

Im pretty sure we didn't play Trent inverted until around half way through last season when our form was awful. Its been really successful imo

This for me is the most nailed on result of this round of fixtures, even more so than City vs Sheff U.
Newcastle are broken, they have a depleted squad, faaaack all FFP room to spend this window a manager that has been found out and are coming off the back of a deserved beating at home to Forest and just generally bad form.
Liverpool to win by at least 2 is what I will be sticking a fiver on
