Needless to say that Araujo needs to start this game.
We are gonna concede a lot from headers alone with Cubarsi being the tallest

Pretty sure Christensen statistically actually win more aerial duels than Araujo surprisingly enough

The only way to stop Woltemade would be to have someone small enough and light enough like Riqui Puig to sit on Araujo's shoulders.

If he could grab his hair and control him like Ratatouille, then that would be a double plus.

If Atletico almost made it against Liverpool, don't see why Barca shouldn't against Newcastle.

Atletico can match Pool physically but Barca can't do the same against Newcastle. If Barca, for instance, gave away even half the no. of corners that Atletico did, we'd get dunked a few times. Our entire backline is made up of wimps (as unfortunate as it is).

Need to play with speed and be very good in possession. Pass fast and move Newcastle around. If we play their game, we'll be in trouble.

If we start with Eric Garcia and Cubarsi, it'll be a good ol' beatdown...on us.

Christensen is a must. I would also take Araujo over Eric.

Araujo has to start. Newcastle are beasts physically. Eric will get bullied.

Kounde-Cuba-Araujo-Martin. I Would go with a Eric-Pedri midfield with Eric sitting deeper and for an extra defender when dealing with set pieces.

I dare say if Flick starts this game with Eric as a CB he ain't no hotshot of a coach at all, would be a few flaws too many for me...

Araujo gets bullied by grandpas as evidenced by last season. Don't trust him at all but it's what we got, I'd start him anyways and see if he gets his shit together starting tomorrow.

Well atleast Araujo is supposed to be strong and fast.

Eric is weak even on paper.

People might call me crazy, but I feel Rashy is our most important player for this game because he knows the English grounds best - GO RASHY :rash:
