Eddie Howe’s four selection dilemmas for Newcastle United’s match against Arsenal
Eddie Howe’s four selection dilemmas for Newcastle United’s match against ArsenalEddie Howe is
confronted with a number of selection dilemmas in anticipation of Arsenal’s Premier League home game tomorrow, following Chelsea’s Carabao Cup victory on Wednesday. What are the primary dilemmas that Howe will be contemplating prior to the noontime commencement on Tyneside? Is Kelly situated in the center-half? Lloyd Kelly has primarily played at left-back for Newcastle since joining from Bournemouth in the summer. However, the 26-year-old stood out on Wednesday as he partnered with Fabian Schar at center-half, securing a clean sheet for the Magpies through a succession of critical second-half blocks. “Howe is certain that Lloyd can establish himself as a center-half.” “He is an exceptional player in both positions.” He effectively transitioned between both positions for Bournemouth last year. “In the early part of the season, he was utilized as a left-back for us; however, in his most recent appearances, he has been deployed as a center-back.” On Wednesday, he appeared to be in a state of ease and performed exceptionally well. He is distinctive in that he possesses an exquisite left foot, is highly athletic, and possesses an exceptional top-end velocity. I am exceedingly satisfied with him.
The preponderance of the league defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend was a struggle for Dan Burn, as he was repeatedly turned and pulled out of position by Nicolas Jackson. Is this the appropriate moment to grant Kelly his first league start as a centre-half? TONALI AND GUIMARAES Bruno Guimaraes has been the deep-lying member of Newcastle’s midfield three for the majority of the past two seasons. This term, Sandro Tonali, who is returning, has been compelled to play on Guimaraes’ right-hand side instead of in his preferred central position. Tonali occupied the central position as a “number six” on Wednesday, as Guimaraes was positioned on the sideline. It was no accident that he delivered his most impressive performance in a Newcastle shirt since his electrifying debut against Aston Villa.
“I believed that Wednesday was his most impressive performance since his return,” stated Howe. “I believe that he looked exceptionally well, and that is his forte. Therefore, if he is not in good physical condition, I believe that a significant portion of his arsenal is forfeited.” “He has been a significant loss to us, as he provides a unique dynamic to our midfield, a genuine goal threat, and the athletic attributes that we require.” Gordon is situated to the right. Howe has relocated Anthony Gordon to the right in a few recent matches, as Joelinton and Harvey Barnes serve as alternative options on the left-hand side. The England international would prefer to be on the left, where he can dart in and provide a goalscoring threat with his right foot. However, his initial performances on the right were somewhat underwhelming.
Gordon could once again be on the right flank against Arsenal, as Jacob Murphy is a significant injury doubt due to a hamstring issue. However, there were signs of progress on Wednesday. Howe stated, “Anthony will prioritize the team’s interests.” “He has no objection to that.” Naturally, we desire to observe his effectiveness, and I believed that he was effective on Wednesday. I believed that he executed the game effectively and had several noteworthy instances. “I do not perceive a problem.” He has never expressed to me that he would decline to participate in a particular position; however, no player would do so due to their desire to play football. Anthony is an exceptional individual and a highly effective teammate. It is merely a matter of ensuring that we deliver the ball to him in the appropriate locations to enable him to be effective in that role.
