Pizy 18,928 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 He didn’t mention Ruben, right? So you assume he’s good to go tomorrow. TT seemed pleased with Saul the other day so maybe he’ll be up to speed enough to finally start if Kante isn’t ready to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he said "everyone else is available" at the beginning, only to then suddenly reveal that Kovacic got a hamstring injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...It sucks because Kovavcic has been our best CM so far this season. But that's why we signed squad players. In anticipation of shit like this. Hate the fact that he's out for a while..it can disrupt a players rhythm., but then again the same thing happened at the tail end of last season and he return in decent form ahead of the CL final. For once, I'm not complaining about the international break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 It is very encouraging listening to Tuchel talk about the keys to competing for championships and games in general. He focuses on these aspects which means our players have a guide to be successful. You hear too many managers and coaches talk about having the right mentality and wanting it more than your opponent. That really does not help players to raise their performances at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kante 1,643 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I hate this fixture with a passion as we always seem to have a nightmare up there. For me, it has to be full strength.

Pizy 18,928 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I like the XI. But without Mase let’s hope our pressing and work rate don’t suffer. As bad a Newcastle are as a whole they still have a couple of scary players in Saint-Maximin & Callum Wilson who can kill you on any given day. We need to dominate early here so we don’t give them hope that they can get a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
