Newcastle make nine changes from the side that drew with Sunderland on Sunday at the Stadium of Light.
Sammy Ameobi starts, as does Papiss Cisse and as expected Gael Bigirimana and Cheick Tiote are paired together in central midfield.
And it looks like Newcastle will play a 4-3-3 formation tonight, with Vurnon Anita making up the numbers in midfield, and Cisse, Ameobi and Obertan the three up front.
Steve Harper returns in goal, but Davide Santon is at right back when we though James Tavernier may get a game.
Shane Ferguson starts but it looks like he’s at left back tonight, and as expected James Perch and Steven Taylor are the two center halfs.
he subs bench too.
The bench is full of experience with Tim Krul, Fab Coloccini, Ben Arfa, Shola Ameobi and Demba Ba, and 17 year-old Adam Campbell also gets on the subs bench tonight.
Teams:
Newcastle United (4-3-3): Steve Harper; Davide Santon, Steven Taylor, James Perch, Shane Ferguson; Gael Bigirimana, Cheick Tiote, Vurnon Anita; Gabriel Obertan, Papiss Cisse, Sammy Ameobi
Substitutes: Tim Krul, Fabricio Coloccini, Yohan Cabaye, Hatem Ben Arfa, Adam Campbell, Shola Ameobi, Demba Ba
Club Brugge (4-3-3): Bojan Jorgacevic; Tom Hogli, Carl Hoefkens (c), Jordi, Bart Buysse; Vadis Odjidja, Jonathan Blondel, Jesper Jorgensen; Lior Refaelov, Carlos Bacca, Maxime Lestienne
Substitutes: Vladan Kujovic, Jannes Vansteenkiste, Bjorn Engels, Victor Vazquez, Thibaut van Acker, Ivan Trickovski, Bjorn Vleminckx

Comment #43Looking forward to seeing what anita can do in cm. Hopefully he’ll be playing in that cm area between amf and dm. Either way we’ll need to rely on wing play alot so fergie and santon need to support sammy and squidward 🙂

Comment #51Has marvoux featured since he left the club early so couldn’t take his place on the bench that game shola got injured in the warm up?
Also any idea what abeid has done? He featured very heavily pre season and looked good.
My only guess is that pardew isn’t impressed with their attitudes.

Comment #52wtf? where is marve? is he injured again?he was absolutely superb prospect in every (except one-substitued at half time against everton imo) game he has played, he has serious injury behind him and need games…every time i see him in starting line up i´m as thrilled as i´m when ryan taylor steps up for free kick 🙂

Comment #54Personally would have played Tav instead of Santon, Santon has pretty much played all the games and for me is super important to our team, hope he comes through the game unscathed.
Super team and super setup, hope the lads can deliver and prove to Pardew that attacking full backs plus a bit of pace is the way to go, Really looking forward to the game, would be happy with this team in the PL to be fair, no Simmo, no Jonas, the two who have held us back for me over the last 6 months or so.
Campbell must be chuffed to be on the bench with all the big hitters. Pards must really rate the kid, good stuff.

There are some rumours of him being not happy with game time.
But AP values hard work, and if Marveux is not applying himself, u wont see him on the pitch.

i think hes playing santon to get another look at him on the right with fergie on the left as the man utd game wasnt the best game to make a judgement on

Agree on all three points 🙂
Bit dissapointed not to see Tav, he might be making mistakes, but he’s a defender stepping up at top level.
His mistakes are more noticable than those of a striker and a midfielder.

Comment #64I think our team is similar to evertons. Talented but also relies on hard work.
Therefore I would say a players attitude and work rate is as important as their technical skill.
Obviously need a certain level of both but there’s nothing I dislike more in football than a player who doesn’t play for the team.
That annoys people enough playing some friendly five a side, never mind a top level game.

that´s shame if true..hba,cisse, marve was my starting choice in 4-3-3 because both AW are more than capable to beat def, killer pass and counter…well have a fighting spirit is more important i have to say 🙂

Ye, we’ve seen what Marveux can do, but much like HBA coming back from injury, he needs to perform like that consistantly to deserve a spot.
I have faith that he’ll come through, but he’ll need to work hard to make it.
