Howe Makes One Bold Change In Our Predicted Team For Southampton



Newcastle’s recent lack of prowess in front of goal is a point of intrigue heading into Tuesday’s first-leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final at Southampton. The Magpies have created plenty of chances but just haven’t had their finishing boots on in recent weeks.

That could lead Eddie Howe to alter his team tomorrow. Conventional wisdom is Howe will go with his preferred eleven. However, tweaking the lineup could spark the desired result of more goals.

I suspect Howe will make a bold change by dropping Callum Wilson and handing a start to Alexander Isak. It would be harsh on Wilson but giving him a break may benefit the 30-year-old in the long run.

This is the team I am predicting Howe will select with just the one change at the top of the pitch. It would be Isak’s first league start since the 1-1 draw against Bournemouth in September.

    I would go as Neil has suggested…its safer for the away leg.

    Depending on the result of the first leg we can go more attila the hun on the second leg and trample all ower them.

    EGB…I would hazard a guess he’s the slowest player in the squad as he’s been murdered a few times by fast wingers…a just about every yellow card he’s got has been dragging back players who have done him.

    Lots of positive attributes but he cant offensively head the ball for toffee and he’s a cart horse.

    Steering a horse is a bit of learned skill….but thank goodness by the 80’s carriages were motorized.

    With the above lineup I would swap the Joes….Willock seemed to have a bit of freedom running up that left side and using a few moves of his own.

    Also bruno last season leicester. But its a rarity with willock. Just be like beckham and put ball in dangerous area. Too many cut back to right foot or pass back to someone else. Just put the ball in

    I may be wrong but you have to be careful with renewals, they should be free through official government sites but unofficial ones will sting you for a fee.

    Actually, it hardly matters what 11 or formation Eddie goes with though.

    So long as it’s out of our 13 best, we’re good to go.

    13 top players there.

    Just want to say RIP to the NE lady who recently passed away with Alzheimer’s, their sad story was on the news, only 69 and had lived a lively life until stricken with the illness.
    Her husband was a real rock right up to the end.

    Only striker in the Prem could score that goal. Shearers record is next.
    If we had Kane we would be top

    Fulham will hopefully get a draw although Spurs normally come on strong once behind so probably not .. its going to be a tough last 18 games .. I expected 8th as a good season but now I’m hoping for 4th .. heart over head

    Well….off to get ready to head down to Miami shortly. Will try to hook up with Yedlin and see if he wants to reminisce about old times…I’ll be sure to give him warm hellos from everyone. 😉

    Jail…He’s the only 30 year old I’d contemplate spending 100 million on because he can fast track us to wherever we’re going lije nobody else.

    Who cares if we get nowt for him when he’s 35…we’ll be serial CL’rs at that point.
