Newcastle will play Spurs this afternoon at St. James’ Park and Rafa Benitez has just announced the Newcastle starting line-up.
And of the seven new signings only loan players last season – Martin Dubravka and Kenedy – start this game with four on the bench – Ki Sung-yueng, Fabian Schar, Yoshinori Muto, Salomon Rondon and Federico Fernandez not in the squad.
Jacob Murphy is also not in the squad.

Comment #95Diame very sloppy there – hopefully an isolated mistake. Was impeccable with and without the ball second half of last season.
Ah well, Dummett loses his man and w’re 1-0 down.
That must’ve been very marginal.
Stemmed from Diame’s mistake though, easy possession became under pressure for a few mins because of it.

Also Dummett switched off for the goal and lost Vertonghen.

Comment #105Not apologising for his general porformances since he joined us. He’s been terrible 90% of the time.
That was a really well taken goal though and worthy of praise.

Comment #113It would have to be Alli. Despise that guy. Yedlin will always get done with those crosses to the back post.
