Suggested Team and Formation For: Newcastle (a)

mardi 17 octobre 2023

Hopefully we get a few returning players from injury. Especially in midfield.

It sounded like Doucoure was touch and go in his last game, he didn’t play for Mali in the break despite being selected for the squad, but hopefully that’s just precautionary. So hopefully he is back for us.

Henderson, Eze and Olise are definitely out. Ward is most likely still out if it was a groin strain.

Then it’s whether we have the likes of Schlupp, Lerma, Franca, Jairo and Ahamada make it back.

If we can reduce our injury list from 10 to 4, then the international break will have been a blessing for us.

I don’t think Roy’s ever selecting this side but injuries permitting I’d go:

Johnstone
Richards - Andersen - Guehi - Mitchell
Doucoure - Lerma - Hughes
Ayew - Mateta - Edouard

Matthews, Clyne, Holding, Tomkins, Riedewald, Schlupp, Ahamada, Rak-Sakyi, Franca

I don’t think Richards is going to be selected by Roy at right back, but I was disappointed with Clyne’s showing against Forest when you stack it up to what Ward normally offers us. I think Richards can probably offer us more of what Ward usually brings. I think a solid midfield 3 will be needed against Newcastle who are so strong in midfield when they have runners going forward. There’s a bit of creativity on the bench to bring on if and when it’s needed.
