I was asked a question earlier by a family member, which made me think.... "What's your favourite Newcastle XI, and managed by who?" 

 

A difficult one! But I went with a semi-credible formation (some creative license). 
 

                     Given

Solano   Schar     Coloccini     Burn       

 

           Cabaye       Speed

                      Bruno 

 HBA                                      Jonas

                     Shearer

 

Manager: Sir Bobby.

 

What's your starting XI? Really interested in hearing some of the answers..

Going for gut reaction heart over head 11:

                    Srníček 

 

               Schär   Albert  

Trippier                               Domi
                  Guimarães

      Solano                     Cabaye        
            Speed         Beardsley 

                     Ferdinand 

 

Manager: Kevin Keegan

 

No subs as I will no doubt come up with a different 11. 

edit: made up a formation and added Nobby

That was my problem :lol: I also realised we didn't have tons of loveable LBs. Couldn't bring myself to include Enrique.

This is tough.. I know it's unfashionable and wouldn't work in this day and age. But for simplicity I'm going 4-4-2. Feel like it's a mix of head and heart.

 

Given

 

Trippier

Schar

Colo

Jose Enrique 

 

Solano

Lee

Bruno

Ginola

 

Shearer

Isak

 

(Honourable mentions: Pav, Albert, Burn, Speed, Ferdinand, Cabeye)

I've just realized I've disliked Colccini for so long. Probably very unwarranted [emoji38] Just thought he was a shit captain at the time. I'm blaming Pardew.

Replace Debuchy with Coloccini and Srnicek with Pope and that’s a great XI 

 

subs: Beardsley, Ba, Ferdinand, Robert, Lee, Trippier, Botman

That’s not a workable midfield in reality.

Trippier
Schar
Coloccini
Burn

Joelinton
Cabaye
Bruno

Ben Arfa
Isak
Robert

Notable: Pope, Rondon, Ba, Bernard, Dabizas, Ketsbaia, Cisse

A lot of present inclusions but I find our current team to be particularly likeable and very easy to get behind.
