I'd agree but in case I'm mistaken Howe has tended to play Anderson on the left of the 3 CMs? I think it's Tonali vs Longstaff and Joelinton vs Willock vs Anderson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 It's hard to see him not starting Anderson after this pre-season, but there's no way he's not starting Joelinton so I've no idea what he's going to do. I'd imagine he'll go Bruno, Joelinton and Anderson just about if Longstaff is slightly off the pace fitness wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Love the fact we now have Bruno, Joelinton, Tonali, Anderson, Longstaff, Willock and the kid Miley to choose from. Our middle of the park is so so strong now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Magpie Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 No idea why I am dreaming of a game 2.5 weeks before it happens (the dream was last week) but we won 1-0 in that event. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 2 hours ago, STM said: What I think the team will be: Pope Trippier Schar Botman Burn Bruno Tonali Joelinton Miggy Gordon Isak I think Anderson will be extremely unlucky not to start but Howes weight of trust in Joelinton will win over. Had Longstaff not been injured during pre season, I think he would have started ahead of Tonali. Gordon HAS to start, he's full of confidence and Barnes will have to wait his turn like everyone else. The BIG difference, will be our bench. Chalk and cheese to previous Newcastle squads: Dubravka Lascelles Willock Anderson Longstaff Barnes Wilson Miley Targett Murphy To choose from. Lovely options. I wonder when was the last time a PL club had an entirely English bench of outfield players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game against them last season looking back is infuriating; given the chances we missed with 10 men and the way they capitulated against Real Madrid at Anfield only a few days later there's every chance we get back into that game 11v11. Almiron, ASM, Wilson all missed good chances and we hit the bar twice I believe? Certainly at least once, Burn header from a corner. *With the exception of Leeds Edited August 2, 2023 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the one I want to beat the most this season, even if that is a bit petty. Hate them honestly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Really excited by Tielemans, he was excellent last night, played two truly magnificent balls for two of our goals. Looks like he's fitted in really quickly. Considering Kamara was excellent for us last year, it's a tough call one of those two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
