Son off

Hope Sonny is ok....

Son coming off

Hopefully it's just to preserve energy for the upcoming games.

 

[thebenjamin]

Son injured?

 

[SlotBadger]

I’m glad it’s not a sub for Kane, but Son...

 

[easley91]

Best first half in a long while. Certainly since Leicester. Imagine Bale in place of Lucas (not a knock on him). That front three linking up is going to be dangerous.

 

[sparx100]

Hopefully just a precaution for Sonny. He has played a lot.

 

[ackie]

Bergwijn coming on

 

[tototoner]

Jesus I hope Son isn't injured

 

[Nicki78]

Son going off?? WTF? Hope that’s just to rest him

 

[therealGlenn]

Don’t want Kane and Son putting in 90 mins today.....need them to be fresh for Tuesday to beat chav scum

 

[felmani26]

Hope Son isn't badly injured then or it's purely tactical/rotational

 

[Dannyspur]

How long before Carroll is on and the long balls start raining in on our goal?

 

[yankspurs]

Son coming off. Uh oh

 

[Erm33]

Stevie replacing son

The only time Newcastle pressed us, they won the ball, kept it for 2-3 minutes, applied some pressure and made a couple of decent chances.

The rest of the time, their hyper-defensive formation has made it impossible to apply any of the pressure that causes problems for our double pivot of Winks and Hojbjerg. That makes the challenge unpicking their defence, which we've done very well, leaving Darlow as the only reason the game isn't already decided. Well, Darlow and the woodwork.

It's the high quality movement and ball control from Kane, Lo Celso, Son and Lucas and the slight sluggishness of the Newcastle defence that has enabled us to break their rigid lines.

Hearing that Bergwijn is coming on for Son. Injury?

 

[bubble07]

Wow for Son

 

[Mr Pink]

Son being saved or injured

 

[JayB]

Bet that was pre-arranged much like the Ndombele/Lo Celso swap last week

 

[Jamturk]

For Sonny

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Oh ffs
