Newcastle United’s ‘no excuses’ team selection policy is disclosed as Eddie Howe becomes more merciless.

Eddie Howe has issued a “no excuses” message to any player who fails to appear on the team sheet at Anfield tonight. Howe is renowned for meticulously reviewing all training drills with his backroom staff before making final decisions on the squad.

The Newcastle United manager has maintained that he does not consider popularity or favouritism, as Kieran Trippier discovered after being benched for the 4-3 win over Nottingham Forest.

The head coach of Newcastle United is solely relying on the daily observations he observes on the training pitch at Benton when making his selections. This is how Lewis Miley secured his significant opportunity against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, following his first Premier League goal of the season.

However, Howe cautioned in the lead-up that Miley, a teenage sensation who received new accolades on Sunday, is not bound to get a start on Merseyside. Howe could ensure that Sven Botman, Sandro Tonali, and Joelinton are all fully fit for the match against the Reds.

The manager appears to be unwilling to tolerate subpar performances, as evidenced by his assertion that Martin Dubravka’s exclusion from the match against Nottingham Forest was a difficult decision. When questioned about the competition for spots, Howe stated to Chronicle Live, “That is what you want.

You need the competition and the performance of individuals to drive the quality of our training and to maintain standards.” Ultimately, the objective is to enhance the team. Therefore, I believe that the players are aware that they must remain vigilant due to the current calibre of the squad.
