Yoshida will start with Fonte I would have thought. I'll be surprised if it's Caulker. Tadic will play on the flank, I can't see him starting central. Mane may to play central, where he is most effective. Davis left and Tadic right, which is how they set up first leg against Vitesse before making changes. The alternative Koeman may choose is Davis central slightly deeper and Tadic and Mane on the flanks.
I would take saints all day long but against Vitese all key players played allmost entire match. What is Anita doing in LB i dont know. Haidara was impressive when he was fit. Newcastle need one good midfielder alltough this is quite good attacking team but defence is weak. Ayoze, Goufran and Wijndalum are too attacking oriented. Goals on both sides but for winner this could go both way especially if Newcastle gain some momentum when tiredness kick in with Saints.
Why was Cedric subbed out?
@HellKitchen He was getting overrun by Obertan and Haidara and looked likely to be sent off
@HellKitchen Yellow card maybe
@HellKitchen overly cautious from saints with him on a yellow . They should have kept him on
where is de jong?
Mitrovic 1-0
You would be a fool if you thought Newcastle will lose here .
