Bad miss from Struijk but doing ok so far

[malcolmw]

Bornauw has played twice within 3 days and likely his legs will be a bit heavy. Likely he will play against Derby

Bornaauw and Stach were running on fumes for most of the 2nd half on Sunday.

Im not surprised that they're left out. I do think they'll play the cup game.

I'm surprised Joe is fit. He's a tough bugger isnt he.

I also wondered about Gruev vs Tanaka, but Ao is proving to be a real difference maker when he comes off the bench. He's also more versatile imo than Gruev, so can slot in where needed at the moment.

From the line up, I wonder if strategy will be same as for Liverpool?

[BlackHillsPaul]

Should have scored just then Struijk....

[White Riot]

Awful headed attempt by Struijk.

Free header and easier to score but misses the target.

[Irish Ian]

Syruijk sitter, missed he did

[Clitheroe White]

That pull back on Ampadu should have been a yellow. Very blatant from Barnes.

Newcastle looking a little rattled here.

[White Riot]

Our players don't seem to have the intuition to find space in the box.

The crosses have gone into the right places, but we had nobody there

Stach is playing

[Finnatic]

That was a yellow by Barnes

[White Riot]

Poor cross by Rodon.

[Cjay]

Got forward well so far tbf but poor when it comes to final pass/decisions

[Madron]

Look the better side so far

[The Subhuman]

Poor cross DCL

[Clitheroe White]

Poor cross by Rodon.

Not bad for our centre back to even try and be a winger though

[ElKapitan]

Great start..... But should be 0-1.... That's the third free/open goal header this season Struijk hasn't got anywhere near on target .....

Keep on going and let's make something stick.

[Finnatic]

DCL to Stach was the better choice

[White Riot]

And DCL puts a cross to nobody that was even worse than Rodon's.

No composure.

[SG90]

Not sure what Cher is crying about, it was a blatant foul

[The Subhuman]

Rips it out with his hand ..no goal

[BlackHillsPaul]

No penalty. The attacker clearly hit the ball out of the keepers hands.
