Yoan Gouffran

Having started the season so well, Yoan Gouffran now appears to be regressing into the player who has failed to convince on Tyneside for around three years before. No longer an overly palpable goal threat, the Frenchman should make way for Achraf Lazaar.

The Moroccan should at least be given a chance, having impressed during his fleeting appearances in the first-team so far.
