Although the loss to Blackburn Rovers on the weekend somewhat slowed the momentum Newcastle United picked up following their nine-in-a-row form, optimism is afoot.
The Magpies head to Humberside to take on Premier League strugglers Hull City in the quarterfinal of the EFL Cup as the club try and reach their first domestic semi-final in over a decade.
While losing to Rovers clearly isn’t the best buildup for the game, and the Tigers clearly aren’t as bad as we all thought before the season started, the Toon Army have their best chance in years for a genuine cup challenge.
As much as we cannot get carried away with what happened at St. James’ Park on Saturday, there certainly are some things Rafa Benitez cannot afford to do again tomorrow night.
That’s just as much true for the club’s players, so here are TWO should really shouldn’t start tomorrow night.
Do you agree?
