He'll get thrown in against Chelsea where he'll have about 6 touches of the ball and not be seen again in a Newcastle shirt, while Gayle & Joselu have done little over a dozen games and will get the nod the game after.

He's by no means great, he is a bit of a lumbering oaf who I don't have much faith in.  But fuck me, in his last two cameos, he has contributed more in 30 minutes or so than Joselu has in about 5-6 starts. 

 

I know we all keep saying it.  But surely he has to start on Saturday now?

Start at Chelsea, never see the ball and get called shit. Could have played against Burnley, Bournemouth or Watford. Poor him.

 

Mind you, if he does start he has to see Chelsea as game to prove Rafa wrong and give it everything.

He was decent tonight, but I've always felt he's a better option from the bench against tired defenders anyway.

 

Would definitely start him against Chelsea though, might as well.

Aye, same thing happened the last time in the PL. He's not going to play like he did tonight if he's starting the next game or he'll need an oxygen mask after half an hour

Much as Benitez has his strong points to he needs to stop saying the squad is shit and not good enough for this league and how he wanted to sign players but couldn’t, from a psychological perspective that is a powerful statement. 

 

If your boss says I wanted better people because you aren’t good enough but couldn’t get them, but it’s not my fault, you would be livid and pissed off and it would affect your performance

Hates getting in to the box as well as he did otherwise.

It was funny watching him laying the ballroom Aarons and then doing his upmost to not get into the box.  That's why he's a poor striker imo.

So fuck. He came on and contributed more than any of our other strikers have in 4 games, within 20 minutes.

At the moment that weakness isn't such a problem IMO, because we actually need someone to come to feet and link the play.

And who will be there to get onto the ball from a Ritchie or Aarons cross?  The whole situation with our strikers is that all have massive faults.  It was a decent cameo by humans he should start next game but I'd bet we still have the same issues we are having with our strikers going forward.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Obviously he can't spend all the game outside the box, it's about judgement.
