Burn, Livramento, And Longstaff Start Against Southampton At St. James’ Park



Here is Eddie Howe’s first team selection of the new campaign as the Magpies host Southampton at St. James’ Park. As expected, he didn’t spring any surprises except that Bruno Guimaraes captains the team as he did once in preseason.

It’s a strong bench with plenty of attacking options in Joe Willock, Harvey Barnes, Miguel Almiron, and William Osula. Martin Dubravka remains the number two for the time being.

This is the team Russell Martin has named for the Saints with local man Adam Armstrong getting the call.

Newcastle’s aim is to start the season with all three points against a team that bounced straight back up after relegation. It could be difficult as it’s early days and there may be kinks to iron out. Hopefully, the lads will be up for the challenge.

Howay The Lads!

    Quite happy with that lineup arguably the best that we have available in terms of fitness and form

    Tino has the Jersey now Trippier should have to earn it back after his woeful form last season defensively

    Interesting that Dubs is no2 maybe we are keeping him

    I wonder who will be the first to have a moan or whine on here if something negative happens in our game, if we haven`t scored in the first 20 minutes they will be out with their knives as usual, arses dropping out and all that shite.
    I`ll give the blog a miss during the game and catch up later.

    Iv`e got an issue with my Fire stick atm, couldn`t get the game on last night and LIVE TV didn`t resume until this morning, has anyone else had issues?

    Looks very unlikely i will be able to watch the game today, Im a tad pissed off.

    Tino against his old club. Another one of the ex Chelsea academy players who had a sell-on clause when he was sold to Southampton which made our purchase of him more complicated and inflated the price. Great player though.

    At this rate, there’s going to a full team of ex-Chelsea players who are better than the ones recruited by Chelsea and on much lower wages.

    Shocked tlTino is starting over Tripps. Not saying it’s necessarily the wrong call, just surprised Howe did it, unless he’s not up to fitness?

    Either way I’m like a kid at Christmas waiting for this today. HWTFLLLLLLL

    Same old same old nothing has been addressed from last season. No pattern of play cant do 5 passes in a row but some think we are getting top 4.
