[Albion] Danny Welbeck.

[Durlston]

I'm extremely relieved that Danny is ok. I was fearing a long lay-off by the initial news so hope he's back for Liverpool.

Great example of a top professional footballer.

Minteh is the fastest player on the training pitch, at 35.4 km an hour. Over a short distance, he's electric.

Yep. Exactly what you need from a winger. He has the ability to go inside or outside of opposing full backs, that terrifies them!

Chatting to several Newcastle fans on the train before the match and they were all absolutely gutted to have lost Minteh. They realise he's raw and inconsistent, but they all kept pointing out that he's only 20.

And if he's the central striker, he can go between them. Not only will he terrify them, he will beat them in a straight line foot race. Few defenders can match him. Maybe Van der Ven.

If you think we need width against Wolves, then we already have two very good wingers in Mitoma and Adingra, who will stretch the Wolves back line.

Imagine a front four of Mitoma, Minteh and Adingra with Rutter just behind....

Wolves showed enough at times v City to suggest they're not going to be easy to beat. They clearly have pace on the counter and showed a lot of resilience until the 5th minute of stoppage time.

Yeah I’m not expecting a comfortable game. Their position in the table is a bit misleading, had some very tough fixtures.

You're right. Wolves very nearly succeeded in keeping City to 1-1, despite having 4 touches in the opp box to City's 85.

The implication of your post is that we can't afford the luxury of a 4-2-3-1, unless Fab orchestrates one of his fluid tactical displays, that tbh, I don't pretend to understand.

We can't get complacent, or we'll concede a breakaway goal and they'll sit back and soak it up.

And nobody truly understands Fabian's tactics, not even Fabian.

If Danny's not fit for the weekend we have Fergie and Enciso both of which have that as their preferred role, albeit very different to one another and Danny. I've noticed this season that Enciso only ever comes on in that striker role since we've been well stocked on wingers and no 10s.

 

[Yes Chef]

I was out drinking with one of the Newcastle paramedics after the game, and he explained that they were cautious with Danny as he initially complained of not being able to feel his legs, after the impact.

They took him to the hospital adjacent the ground, but discharged him after half an hour as he recovered pretty quickly and no serious issues were found


He'll be back before you know it

We could legitimately have Danny Welbeck on steroids

Totally outplayed us in the cup too

Really?! Did you just start watching at half time?

No they didn’t we were 2-0 and all over them until they go5 one back just before half time

So, you’re suggesting we play a player in a position he’s never played in before? In the Premier League?

Why not? Play in-form players outside their comfort zones. If you don't try it, you'll never find out if it would have worked, will you?
By all means have a plan B at the ready if it goes pear-shaped.

I'm sure Potter and De Zerbi played players out of position at various times.

If this lot score first we are going to see 10 men behind the ball for the rest of the game , i think i drove my wife mad saying that repeatedly on Sunday . City seemed to want to walk it in , they`ve got so many players capable of shots from just about anywhere - but they didn`t , i hope Fab tells our lads to put their shooting boots on ,with that many bodies in the box anything can happen .

We will need Enciso`s shooting prowess on Saturday .

Surely, with landing and the risk of turbulence he’d stay in hospital up north if there was a fracture or nerve issue.

I work in medical assistance on travel insurance and people with back fractures are okay to travel as long as it's not an unstable fracture. Depending on the severity they may require an air ambulance though.
