My guess: Jorgensen Cucu, Badiashile, Adarabioyo, Viega Fernandez, Dewsbury-Hall Sancho, Felix, Mudryk Nkunku
NJ gets a rest, Enzo on 2nd team again is good but weak midfield with him and Dew-Hall for this match, Veiga is ok and strong though. Dews-Hall at # 10 I suppose and Sancho must be deep in the dog house
Other than Viega and Nkunku a bit, and Cucu drifting inside not a lot of players in front 6 to be effective pressing
The midfield are not much better than the defence. Hopefully this display keeps Enzo out of the first team
We are going to get a stuffing here! The B team is AWFUL, well the defence is anyway! If we don't change things we are losing by 6
HT to say that we look 'shaky' at the back is probably the biggest understatement ever made! Going forward we don't look so bad but at the back honestly its AWFUL!
"Chelsea gives it away cheaply" - a shot every time that is said and see if any of it make past 60 minutes
Well its a slightly better 2nd half performance, though of course Newcastle are happy to just soak it up and wait for the break, my guess 3-0. I think Maresca has simply been out-coached by Howe.
And we are OUT. Good. We have lost 3 EFL finals since 2019. Just do not need the stress again. Citeh are also out. Lets win the FA Cup or that Euro thingy Cup instead. The B team will get less games now. Sad news for them.
We paid £30 million for KDH. IF we put him for sale in January we'd get 10 million quid if we were lucky. We have a very expensive B team. £32.7 million for Badiashile. £38.5 million for Disasi. [Chalobah and Marc Guéhi would have been better options]. Mudryck. Mr.Felix. Nkuknku. Enzo, . . .whats that quarter of a billion pounds sterling.
