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 #43I dont think Coventry will be facing us in the semi’s as much as I would love them to be we have to be realistic and realise we will probably end our cup run this season at Manchester. I hope im wrong, we’ll see eh.

Comment #52Keys and Andy:
“If they want to get to the next level they need to sack Eddie and bring Mourinho in, end of the season.”
I really hope not. Mourinho is toxic, he’s all about me me AND he plays boring football. He used to be good, backing his players, but when things went sour he’d toss them under the bus.
Eddie can’t be blamed if the transfers don’t keep coming in. I’m not blaming PIF either but we need at least four top top players to compete. And that’s without getting rid of the likes of Bruno.
If we can’t do that then even Pep can’t take us to the next level.

Comment #63I don’t think any player today enjoys wearing their shirt and playing in this game, than Murphy.
The guy just lives for playing for Newcastle.
Murphy standing in the tunnel looking like he’s on cocaine and about to enter a thumping club. Completely plugged in and amped.
