I don't think we are the ones that will be doing the pressing. I think like most of our games this season, it will be Newcastle with most of the possession and us playing on the break.
I think it's set up to be solid at the back without Rice and hoping Lingard can create something again, if we are struggling to break them down we do have Benrhama to come on. it's great to have Oggy back but it could be one injury too many with both Cresswell and Masuaku added to Rice and Antonio.
The lads know this is a chance we haven't had for many years so we know they will go for it, they wont be looking for the draw.
I know he’s not been up to his old form but this smacks of a Lanzini game for me, he’s our best passer and most likely to find a through ball. Hope he gets some game time.
