Rafa the rotator

Every matchday so far this season, debate has raged amongst the Newcastle fans on social media as to who will be starting for Benitez.

Considering both the depth of his squad and his penchant for rotating over and over, the Toon Army are a thoroughly dangerous outfit, capable of playing to a number of strengths.

Though Leicester City proved 4-4-2 was not dead last term, deploying two forwards completely eradicates the complexity in which Benitez has coached the Magpies.

It could also leave Jonjo Shelvey, who is currently flourishing, a tad exposed.
