re the injury reports its all about the gambling market in the UK so they have to share
Agree with John on pau over lindelof it feels as though emery views him as a rcb option he only played lcb because both mings and pau were injured
lindelof in the first half when Newcastle are piling on the pressure. Then Pau second half when Newcastle a tired out
I think it could be that American sports teams have MRI scanners at their stadiums so they get answers immediately.
@claretbluepod was watching some of your older videos Dan. What happened to Patrick. He just disappeared from the podcast. Great content btw
What number will Abraham take?
Paul is 100% guaranteed
Iโm commenting because I see real potential here. Most creators think low response means bad content, but thatโs rarely true. Itโs usually about how the video is presented to YouTube behind the scenes. Once thatโs aligned, engagement improves naturally. I help with that process.
Pau plays. Newcastle's biggest threat isn't their physicality it's their press. Pau is the best option to resist that and exploit the gaps it leaves.
Concerning the NFL Broncos comment, the league published the likelihood of an injured player being in the squad each week. Likely, probable, doubtful, and out. It is used by the media, but primarily by people betting on the games.
Non midfielders playing in midfield always worries me. There's a difference between them starting in one position and moving into central areas on the ball, and offering for the ball with their back to goal while being pressed.
We have the option of playing Lindelof in midfield. Still not sure about Bogarde, he too often passes back or gives the ball away.
No disagree Linderhof been Brilliant much better defender, and we need a good defence to stand a chance to get any points, 0-0 i would be happy with, Whats the chance Onana gets injured again seriously if he does, Then we should think about selling in summer, Sky sports says he's on Arab club's list for summer.??
If we want to progress being in the Champions league is a must even if we don't win it. Winning a trophy is great but not at the expense of getting into the champions league every season.
Crystal Palace won silverware last season and have now sold all their best players.
Pau is integral to our system – when fit he should start
Iโm not really keen on Sancho, I think heโs a very average player and lacks pace for a wide player. However I just canโt watch Guessand in a Villa shirt anymore, itโs just painful.
Now you mention it, wouldn't a players medical status be private information and can only be reported by consent by the player?
Well done Dan i think you got John on team selection 1-0 to Dan. ๐๐๐
Regarding injuries in the USA, I'm guessing a break is a lot easier to spot, assessing soft tissue damage when there's lots of swelling not so much. And as you've pointed out probably not a good idea to let the world know we are desperate during the transfer window.
We will get something tomorrow
NFL clubs have full medical and x-ray facilities on site. Premier League clubs do not and make use of hospital/medical clinic facilities which takes longer
Paus a definite shoe in๐ no way he doesn't start
The problem with Sancho is that he doesnโt track back or try hard to get the ball back when he lose it.โ๏ธ
Cheers guys!
