[Football] Who from tonight should start against NEWCASTLE

Super Steve Earle said:

Propper in for Alzate please otherwise I can see our midfield being overrun. I'd prefer Stephens but doesn't look like he'll be fit.
Ali J for Llallana if Adam not fit. Veltman for White on same basis.

I’ve said it enough times, but I’ve never fully believed that Jahanbakhsh has got quite enough talent for the Premier League, however, I do really want to see him succeed and I can’t help thinking about that stat of 4 goals from 32 chances created since football resumed. I simply cannot accept that if Ali had 32 chances at goal he’d score less than 10, the power and technique with which he strikes the ball is superb, if he played the second striker role I think he’d be a success.

Propper for Alzate? The only reason that would be viable is if going for better hairdo.

Alzate was good (except one hospital pass) Propper made one hospital pasd last night, straight across midfield to Pompey player, luckily he didn't control it and it bobbled off his leg.

He did nothing last night to warrant an inclusion I er Alzate...... Whom played well at At James park previously.

What is this stat, you refer to?

We've scored TWELVE goals since football resumed, after the lockdown.

8 if you're only counting Premier League games.

7 if you mean from the restart until the end of last season.

I’ll see if I can find the link to it, I might have misunderstood part of it but whatever the context was it resulted in 15% conversion rate of chances created. Hold the line please, caller.

‘Big chances’ created, I’m guessing that excludes goals like Bissouma’s long ranger at Burnley

I know you are quoting someone else, but if Ale Mac and Gyökeres goals were not from big chances created, maybe Bernardo's too, then i'm not sure what constitutes a big chance.

Assuming that tweet is today and not from Tuesday.

Is it PotG? said:

Great goal, but he was playing against Portsmouth, not Newcastle.

You’re right. He also scored a great goal against a team called Chelsea who is also not equivalent to Newcastle

Hugo Rune said:

In terms of picking which player you’d want to be on the end of big chances to score, you’d put him ahead of most of the squad including Groß, Mac Allister, March, Alzate, Pröpper & Stephens.

Is it PotG? said:

Ok. Scoring a great goal against a big club makes him a great player. You are correct.

If Propper replaces Alzate on Sunday I can only assume he's Potters pet .

Why did Stephens walk off the pitch last night and leave us with 10 men?. Has he been watching Lallana and gone one better.

PersianNYer15 said:

Yup - and what makes it even more great is being able to do that when you’re sitting on the bench most of the time. Easier to pull off a nice goal when your taking tons of attempts, not when you can’t get more then 6-7 mins of garbage time at the end of a 3-0 game.

You continue to operate on the belief the only way AJ can make the team is at the expense of Maupay or Trossard.
