    Forward doesn't mean anything man, it's just a term that covers loads of positions.

    They are inverted wingers mate, they aren't there to cross, they are there to cut inside onto favoured foot.

    All Newcastles fwds are capable of playing in any of the fwd 3 positions.

    Wilson has played the right in a 3 successfully at Bournemouth and Newcastle ...

    I don't know what point you are trying to make?

    Let's play Almiron as striker then as he is a 'forward'? That would be a bit silly.

    Let's play Botman full back and Trippier centre back as they are both 'defenders'

    Anyway, just going round in circles here.

    Almiron is part of a front 3.

    We're going around in circles here....ultimately howe has options regarding the front 3 and I don't think any combination should be ruled out somewhere down the line.

    Playing fwds right left or centrally in a 3 isn't the same as playing a full back at center half

    But you are making it sound like the front three all play the same position which obviously isn't the case.

    No I haven't I've said they're all capable of playing any of the front 3 fwd positions and therefore Wilson and isak can definitely start together potentially.

    A front 3 can interchange throughout a match also which is advantageous.

    Wilson and isak played together vs Fulham along with max and Wilson assisted isak for the winner is that correct?

    It worked mate nothing to do with anyones managerial skills on here.

    He doesn't play them in a 4-3-3 though he changes to 4-2-3-1 if they are both on together, same in cup final.

    They interchange throughout matches these days hence the advantages of a front 3 that can play in different positions across it.

    I'm sure there's a number of ways to play but that only strengthens my claim both can start a game..surely?
