Wood on the bench again. Think he’s got a bit of trouble here. All the other players that can play CF can also play wider in a front 3 and are mobile: Wilson, Saint-Maximin, Isak, Joelinton.
I don’t think he’s plan A, B and maybe even C. Murphy’s got a goal today and pressed and combined well with Wilson to do it. Almiron had a good game last week.
I don’t think Wood is really in Howe’s plans or playing style, as he was last season. To accommodate him in this system he’d have to play either Isak or Wilson wider and drop Almiron. Very unlikely.
Currently 2-0 to Newcastle at the end of the first half.
