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.

Shocking that Longy keeps place

Comment #136For a while there we really were on the cusp of joining the senior clubs proper, but we really have fallen away. Lots of reasons for that, but if we really are now at the limit of PSR and with little scope to strengthen, its gonna take a while to get back into the top four mix. Who knows what we do actually have to spend, but this squad probably does need atleast a 100 million quid injection of quality to go to places like City and make a real contest of it. T Robust hey just have so many technical and

Comment #146Optimistic, we have a lot of really good players, but if we don’t get a two or three more of quality it’s hard to see us recapturing our old mojo. Need quality additions at striker, and a left back for sure.

Comment #149The Burn experiment at left back has to be finished we need to start planning for next season
Give Hall a proper run of 4 or 5 games let him make mistakes I mean we concede a goal via Burn nearly every game anyway so how much worse can he be
Same with Longstaff he’s injured let Miley White and Anderson rotate the position to the end of the season

Comment #152We’ve had no structure all over the place. If we play hybrid too much for player to think about. Just play them in their position and let them play to their strengths

Comment #154It does seem odd to start Burn at lwb and Lobby, who really needs a break, with Hall, Miley and Anderson on the bench. I’m not inclined to criticize Eddie, but Ill be interested to hear how he defends this starting 11.
