Thought Miley looked class last night, was easily our best player and looked comfortable playing against experienced pro's. Looks like he will be some player going forwards and sounds as though the club have decided to keep him around the first team this season which is the right shout!

Tonali - still think he is struggling to get to grips with what's needed for him but first time he's really played in the 3 in midfield (instead of a double pivot) with the majority of the first team so far so there's time for him - looked much better when he dropped into Brunos "6" role. TBH I'd be using him in cups and as a sub in the league to rotate with Bruno, with Joelinton/Willock on the left and Anderson/Longstaff/Miley on the right. Think it could be, a bit like Bruno and Gordon, that Eddie won't chuck him straight in to the deep end before he's had a chance to adjust properly.

Schar pulling up is a worry - Botman did ok in RCB but still think we need a RCB to cover for Schar (unless Lascelles has been "Eddied" and has a blinding season).

Other than that Gordon and Miggy looked good on the wings, thought Isak and Joelinton looked a bit tired, Alex Murphy looked tidy but still a bit raw - could do with a loan to Championship team or similar. Nick Pope though, what a save from the big man at the end, he is an absolute steal at £10m!

All in all another good preseason work out with lots of first team players getting 75-90 mins in the legs which can only bode well. Looks like Eddie is settling on a starting XI and Cup XI in these last 4 preseason games, be very interested to see how the "second" XI get on vs Brighton on Saturday and then the two squads for the Sela cup next weekend before we start the season vs Villa.

Predicted line up vs Brighton:
Pope
Manquillo
Lacselles
Burn/Botman (45 each)
Target
Longstaff
Bruno
Anderson
Murphy
Barnes
Wilson

Do you trust Shola to get him that loan or will he go to a league 2 club?

They can't produce the children yet no.

Exactly... ...hopefully it'll help with the tough start to the season.... they've really set Newcastle up to try and burst the bubble I feel.
