As much as Rafa Benitez employs a somewhat controversial rotation policy at Newcastle United, the Spaniard had tended to rely on one certain ever present.
The Spaniard had stuck by Matz Sels all season, despite the Belgian’s rather shaky start to life on Tyneside.
However, following the fallout from the Aston Villa game, the 24-year-old was dropped to the bench for the famous win over Norwich City in place of Karl Darlow.
Though the term ‘dropped’ is somewhat strong considering the rotating policy, it was a statement from the former Liverpool and Real Madrid coach.
Though Sels hasn’t been as bad as some make him out to be, it probably doesn’t help him that the man who replaced him between the posts is such a popular figure at the club.
