Happy Birthday Rocky Maivia (CC) 0-2

That’s how Trump writes on social :slight_smile:

On the flipside he also needs match minutes. So maybe bring him on for the last half hour?

Is there no academy prospects that play RW?

I would not incl Cala and would be careful with Saka minutes.

A start for Dowman maybe

Yeah, Dowman will likely get a start. Can’t see Saka being risked today.

Hoping for a more relaxing watch tonight.

Bad start though, had to rescue my home top from the washing basket. EDIT, we’re in Blue tonight.

Watch Saka start this unecessarily

Setford

White Mosquera Gabriel MLS

Nwaneri - Norgaard - Merino

Dowman - Kepa - Martinelli

Saka starts

Saka could do with 45 to get match fit. I’d start him and yank him at half time.

Controversial I know.

You monster.

Is that Martinelli up top? :eyes:

So Dowman was good enough to throw on against Liverpool but not to start against port vale? Mikel is weird.

What can I say?

My lobbying is powerful.

As I mentioned above, I think Saka needs match fitness before Newcastle. He’ll get 45-60 mins tonight. Dowman’s been playing with the U21s and is match fit.

Yeah I expect Saka to go off early in the second half.

Sofascore have them lined up like this :pensive_face:

Merino in his best position :slight_smile:

Expecting a hat-trick from Mikel Merino tonight

Cruel of us to give Port Vale both barrels by putting Merino up front.

Could’ve brought on Saka for the last 25 minutes to give him match fitness. Nah, Mikel is just afraid we might suffer an upset is all. Should’ve started Dowman imo. Apart from that, lineup pretty much as expected.
