Eddie Howe has just announced the Newcastle team to take on Manchester City at the Etihad tonight in the FA Cup: it’s a very tough game for Newcastle.
Here’s the Newcastle team that’s just been announced.
HOWAY NEWCASTLE! ?#MCINEW // #NUFC pic.twitter.com/6BxOZ1LGbJ

It look like we are playing 5 at the back with 3 center-backs in the line-up – Schar, Botman And Lascelles.
Only one in three readers think we can win this game.

Comment #7Rugby. Scotland win, England win and England win the Championship. Unlikely but could happen.

Comment #8Rob
Once you have put the team up as long as I have you can brag, until then!
Any way I find links do not always work for everyone and like me they like to see it plain and in sight.
So carry on in your way and I’ll do likewise! 🙄

Comment #93 at the back?
Who of Lascelles, Botman, Schar or Burn plays elsewhere?

Comment #10Lascelles likes to play RCB or in the middle, Burn middle, LCB or LB..
Is Eddie going to play a Schar or Botman as sweeper?

Comment #11So we’re going to play without any fullbacks?
Very strange.. back 5? with murphy and burn wingback?
2 up top?

Comment #13Would be a great day in the history of sport for England to beat France, ya Jockinese to beat the Micks and the Toon to beat City.
All unlikely of course but you never know.

Comment #15Burn at left wing back is a worry. Just not his position. Couldn’t Targett play.

Why not Krafth and Targett at least they are proper full backs?

Comment #20Hope we do not get marooned half way up the pitch so City’s speed merchants can burn off our defenders to get into goal scoring positions. Need to clatter Foden. (He’s an ugly fu**er as well).

I see a few bickering who put the team news up first and I just sit here with a wry smile 😉
Hoping for a hard fought performance from the lads. We always seem up for it against City so let’s hope that’s the same craic for today

Comment #22Burn can get forward fairly effectively, it’s the getting back bit where he struggles!

Comment #26Wish Murphy could finish consistently he usually mishits or scuffs his shots. Excellent athlete but normally a very poor finisher. An accurate rocket shot once every 6 months is not enough.

Comment #27Essex
Agree, I’d have had Krafth and Targett as wing backs but let’s see how it pans out. Perhaps Schar will push into midfield.

Comment #28Essex all youre doing pretyping it then coppying and pasting..stop acting like you’re typing all that up the minute you see the team lol.

Murphy strikes a ball as well as anyone we have. Shots, crosses, excellent. Decision making is his relative weakness and self belief.

Comment #33Maybe Targett and Krafth aren’t fit enough to start a match, without the risk of causing injury.
