Absolutely huge 1st half for #NUFC - & Eddie Howe's changes on his birthday have been influential. Miley, Elanga & Woltemade have all scored &/or assisted. Hall excellent, too.

Crucial getting a 2nd goal when Everton were on top. Have built & grown from it.

Refreshing.

Nick Pope’s performances are giving Eddie Howe a goalkeeper dilemma The England international has been at least partly at fault for goals in recent weeks. Should Aaron Ramsdale be given a chance?

⚫ Another costly mistake away from Pope 😩
⚪ Growing number of #NUFC fans want Ramsdale 📢
⚫ Nuclear option would be to change GK 🤯
⚪ Ramsdale signed as a No 2, not No 1, after Trafford near-miss 🧤
⚫ But errors can't continue ❌

Joelinton remains critical to Newcastle’s game plan – and highlights a need for evolution Modern football is a squad game - when will Eddie Howe use more of his regularly?

⚫ On form, Joelinton warranted being dropped 🚪
⚪ But Howe kept faith in his "stronger players" & was rewarded 💪
⚫ Will he rotate in Marseille, or stick w/ tried & tested? 🤔

🇧🇷 Joelinton is still critical to #NUFC's aggressive best - but evolution must start next year:
