Team for Newcastle

...................Henderson
.....Bailly.........Maguire..........Shaw
AWB.................Fred..................Telles
............Bruno..............Pogba.
.........Greenwood.........Rashford....


De Gea is obviously not getting dropped, just wishful thinking on my part. I don't really trust any of our CB's tbh.

I also agree on Matic. I've always felt he never plays well for an entire season. Usually only has a good couple of months each season.

Wouldn't mind seeing that team. Mata might be a risk if Saint-Maximin gets going down that side. I'd personally be tempted to shore things up with the 352 for a while. Greenwood and Rashford down the middle.

The OP's team, I mean.

I would make sure we shore things up defensively. Bearing in mind Martial is out and Cavani is in quarantine I would go to a 3-5-2

Like it. I'd personally be leaving out Pogba at the moment. Bring him on for fitness in the event that we're two up in the later stages.

Why are you guys still picking Pogba? He's a hole in the midfield, Van de Beek is a much more rounded player with the mentality you need.

posted on 8/10/20

I wouldn't have Pogba anywhere near the team at the minute. Before we had no other options so he's very droppable right now

I dont know why people are picking Pogba, he has been atrocious since the restart.

Doesn't he have to quarantine or something?

The team I want

Henderson
Lindelof Maguire Shaw
AWB Fred Bruno Beeks Telles
Greenwood Rashford

The team we’ll get

DDG
AWB Lindelof Maguire Telles
McT Pogba
James Bruno Rashford
Greenwood

posted on 8/10/20

I'd play James at his preferred position on the LW and Rashy up top.

DDG
AWB Bailly Fridge Telles
McT/Matic
Pogba Bruno
Mason Rashy James

Pogba had a very good 20min spell for France last night, I think he is just working back up to full fitness, only reason I have included him.

--------------------DDG
-------Lindelof---Maguire---Shaw
Williams---Pogba------McT-------Telles
-------------------Bruno/VDB
------Greewnwood---Rashford

Think this might just be the game where we have to give Bruno a rest.

heard that too.

But players are getting tested before each game week. Surely if he has a negative test, quarantine is pointless? He has also already had corona over a month ago.

De Gea
AWB Bailly Maguire Shaw
Matic
Bruno Pogba
VDB
Greenwood Rashford

Should try the diamond

Since we seem to be playing/building through the middle I would like to see a back 3 with Fred and Mct in front. Then play all of vdb Bruno and Pogba in front of them play mata as 10 and greenwood up front.

Or play rashy with greenwood up front

We have the players on the bench to change it up if required

I just think we would control the MF and hold the ball longer in that set up

Maguire is everything that's wrong with our defence. He needs dropping.

Play anyone but Maguire. Same goes for Lindelof.

The scenes when we line up:

AWB Lindelof Maguire Shaw

——-Pogba Matic

Mason Bruno James

Why are people still posting that they’re hoping/ expecting to see a 4-3-3 lineup?

3-4-1-2 maybe. The diamond, possibly, at a stretch.

There’s just no way Ole is going to set us up 4-3-3/4-1-2-3. If he was ever interested in trying it, he’d have done it months and months ago.

Yeah mate.

But I'd be happy enough if say it was a back 3 of bailly or AWB with maguire and shaw or telles etc

Similarly mct with matic is cool too

Rashford in front of mata same or behind greenwood or in front of him

It's just so many options

A 3 of Bruno vdb and Pogba interchanging could potentially be really positive for our time on the ball and interlinking play in a free sort of role

Just a suggestion as we don't have wingers and play through the middle anyway.
