samptime29 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Why risk him against Oxford ffs. We should be playing both Longstaffs, Allan, Gibson etc I don't get how on one hand you can rightly slate Ashley's Newcastle for our dreadful cup record and not taking them seriously and then on the other hand you think we think we should be playing such a weakened team?

TBG Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 They're a League One side. A weakened side should be enough to beat them. Mental how much Ashley, Pardew & Bruce have lowered expectations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental how much Ashley, Pardew & Bruce have lowered expectations. We can't have it both ways. We (rightly) used to criticise when we'd play weakened teams in the cups. Now criticism is coming for playing our strongest players in a cup match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Eh? I'd think we should be playing a strong side in the cups 20 years ago too. You still have to respect teams from lower leagues they don't just roll over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play your strongest side by all means, just don't risk your best players if they are still recovering from injury. It's not that hard to fathom.

Now criticism is coming for playing our strongest players in a cup match. Strongest players who have frequently broken down. You have to find a balance to ensure we get no new injuries.

That's fair enough, we should never risk a player who isn't fully fit. But if they're fit, we need to play our strongest team in every round we play.

Because such a weakened side, managed correctly, should still be beating teams like Oxford. You can't seriously tell me that 4/5 fringe players in the side is a risk against fucking Oxford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
