Quite a nice fixture for Newcastle to help heal last night's wounds. It's unfortunate that wolves are coming into this off the back of a big win though.
I don't want to see Wissa, Elanga anywhere near the starting 11 On Sunday and I don't want to see Barnes on the right. Get Barnes in his position...Gordon? Drop him or move him. Tonali? Did well last night, so he probably has to start. Ramsey is getting pelters, but I think he played well until his head injury... He seems a bit soft.. Like he's made of cotton wool.
The money spent in the summer looks to have all been largely wasted at this point... Thiaw and Woltemade are exceptions to that and now we're dropping Woltemade for a player that's done nothing so far.
This side needs far too many passes to create chances and it breaks down in the final 3rd almost every single time. It also doesn't seem like you need many opportunities to score past Newcastle, so the results feel like we did well even when we lose. Unfortunately conceding and scoring are the first port of call in judging performance not passing around in front of the opposition.
Regardless of some very obvious problems upto and including fatigue I'll back them to edge this 1-2 though because wolves are the worst PL side PL in the country.
