Newcastle United - Nottingham Forest

Time to try Sangare and anderson link up?

Could be. Sangare does have really good passing range and should be our best midfielder at breaking up play (though we definitely haven’t seen the best of him yet). My only worry would be that he might struggle to keep up with Guimaraes and Tonali and might get caught in possession

Think we all agree that CHO comes in and we go back to a back four.

The only question is who partners Anderson in midfield.

1. Dominguez?
2. Yates?
3. Sangare?
4. Danilo?

Good options to be fair and a nice headache for Nuno.

I don’t think this is a game that either Danilo or Sangare should start to be honest.

Sangare doesn’t have the legs (yet) and Danilo doesn’t look sharp enough on the ball (yet).

It’s not that time of the season to take risks.

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

I agree.

It's Anderson and Dominguez for me.

[RyanR]

It’s a tricky one with Sangare. He’s been unfortunate with illness and injury and we don’t want to rush him back, but at some point he needs to start proving that he’s a £30m player. I do agree that this might not be the game for that though

Dominguez or Yates. There's also an argument that Dominguez starts out wide if CHO isn't fit to start but the general chatter is that he will be.

Newcastle are pretty physical and their midfield dicked us at home this season. This isn't the game for midfielders not fully match fit.

At Exeter he was playing almost as a quarter back and pinging passes around but didn’t have the legs to get around the pitch and won’t be afforded the same amount of time and space at the other St James Park.

Bruno and Tonali will eat him alive in his current state. He needs to get match fitness before the end of the season, there’s still a useful player there but he needs to prove it. I’m not sure Danilo is ready yet either in terms of his match sharpness. His passing and positioning against Fulham wasn’t his best. Has to be Dominguez and Anderson I think

They are missing their main midfield powerhouse.
Botman also out, so we can definitely get at them if we are brave
My view is that Nuno simply rates Danilo & Sangare more than he does Yates and Domingues

Yet we got to second in the league without Danilo and Sangare

Good point UN

Maybe by bringing Danni and Sangare back into the team, the balance has been inadvertently tipped slightly and we are now slightly unbalanced, as neither of these two boys are up to the speed and consistency the rest of the team are at?

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

It's got to be Anderson and Dominguez for me and we should stick with it for a few games.

Love Danilo but he shouldn't be shoehorned staright back into the starting eleven.

I agree that we should have faith in those who got us where we are.
