A team victory, B team defeat…
It was a home & away split with Newcastle United. A home win in Premier League action with Enzo Maresca’s preferred starting XI, then a lackluster effort with the players trying to make a name to be selected losing at St. James park in Carabao Cup action. Cole Palmer, Nicholas Jackson & Pedro Neto led the way hitting on all cylinders on Sunday contributing to the two goals in victorious fashion. While, it was difficult to name anyone who really stood out on Wednesday. It was a forgetful match & they look to redeem themselves next week when they return to Conference League play at home vs FC Noah.
But 1st, the Blues head up to Manchester to face the Red Devils of Manchester United who are now without a manager having sacked Erik Ten Hag this week following the defeat against West Ham United. A late penalty led to a Jarrod Bowen penalty conversion giving the Hammers a 2-1 victory & Ten Hag without a job. Ruud van Nistelrooy takes over on an interim basis until Man United appoints their next manager. With the Red Devils in disarray, the boys have a great chance this weekend to stay within striking distance of the league leaders, Manchester City, Liverpool & Arsenal. Let’s get those three points!
Come down to the Londoner Addison this Sunday morning and kick it with the Shed End crew. We look forward to seeing you there!
Cheers,
Shed End Dallas
