Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe emphasized that his players must earn their place in the team through their performances on the field. Following Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Wolves, Howe made a notable triple substitution at halftime with his side trailing. While one of the changes was forced due to Alexander Isak’s injury, Joe Willock and Harvey Barnes also came on and played pivotal roles, with Barnes scoring the winning goal.
Howe stressed the importance of competition within the squad, ensuring that players understand the need to deliver strong performances or risk losing their spot. He highlighted the depth of his squad and the importance of maintaining this healthy rivalry, while also acknowledging the challenges posed by potential injuries.
Since he joined the Magpies club in January 2022, star fullback Kieran Trippier has been one of the constant mainstays for the club. Be it contributing in attacks or making chances through brilliant set-piece deliveries, apart from being a master of the defensive role, Trippier has been a part of the club for quite a long time now.
Despite being one of the first signings since Saudi took over the Magpies club, signifying his importance for the club, the past few months hadn’t been decent for Trippier. After losing the captaincy armband to compatriot Bruno Guimaraes and with the rise of Tino Livramento in his wing, Trippier was close to making a move in the last phases of the summer window.
