With Steve McClaren reportedly under a two-game review, the Magpies’ next match against Liverpool this Sunday is of vital importance.
A totally inept Newcastle team have accumulated just 10 points from their opening 14 games in the Premier League, resulting in them being plunged into the dark realms of the relegation zone.
It’s a totally different story for Liverpool, though. Since the arrival of Jurgen Klopp, the Reds have been outstanding, winning seven of their last eight matches in all competitions.
The majority of Toon fans hold no confidence whatsoever in their team’s ability to pull off what would be a shock result, and that’s no surprise, given recent performances.
Plenty of changes need to be made to the Newcastle team, so here’s our preferred lineup. The formation is 4-4-1-1.
