Barnes, Kelly, And Longstaff Start Against Spurs At St. James’ Park



Newcastle are back at St. James’ Park today with a potentially revealing test against Tottenham. Eddie Howe has named the following eleven for the clash which has four changes from the midweek Carabao Cup win at Forest.

This is a strong team with Howe once again naming a front three of Alexander Isak, Harvey Barnes, and Anthony Gordon. Getting the trio clicking in front of net is vital after not strengthening the attack in the summer transfer window.

This is the team Ange Postecoglu has named. It’s a rare start for former Juventus and Genoa defender Radu Dragusin in the place of the injured Micky van de Ven.

A win and all could be well again on Tyneside. The Magpies are undefeated and three points takes them into the top five ahead of the first international break of this season.

Howay The Lads!

    Better tactical appreciation by Spurs. You are now seeing a manager who has no plan B in action

    Does Isak have an injury?

    Why does he bottle every 50/50 challenge even he’s a clear favourite ?

    Hasn’t won a header all game but never does

    You’d have to fancy Tonali to catch Spurs high line out — get Isak away at some point.

    The last thing we need now is the speed of Werner running in behind

    Oh ffs. Johnson and Werner on the flanks. This is going to get messy.

    Great opportunity to counter, I suppose.

    I find that usually as soon as poster on here calls a player dogshit or similar , that said will player will usually step up and prove why they are not

    Class by Murphy

    You would think these posters might have had some sort of self realization by now eh rob
