Newcastle United supporters deliver mixed opinions as Eddie Howe names team to face Everton

Newcastle United supporters believe Eddie Howe has taken a risk with his team against Everton. The Magpies boss made three changes with Matt Targett, Miggy Almiron and Callum Wilson starting at Goodison Park.

The trio replace Dan Burn, Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy from the side that thrashed Tottenham 6-1 at St. James' Park last Sunday. The changes should come as no surprise with the Toon set to take on Southampton at St. James' Park this Sunday in a quick turnaround.

Targett gets his first start since returning from injury, having been kept out of the side by the impressive Burn. Newcastle know a win at Everton would strengthen their grip on the top-four with Manchester United facing Tottenham Hotspur this evening.

Here's what Newcastle United supporters had to say on the team to play Everton:

@agbnufc_ said: "A balanced back four and some bench impact okay. Please win I beg."

@AngelNUFC tweeted: "Isak will rip them apart in the second half once they are tired and pushing for a goal. Nice to see Targett finally starting, he was so good for us last season."

@nicolapringle_ said: "This is either going to work or be absolutely terrible."

@Geordie_Lamb tweeted: "I agree with this selection. Going to be a very physical, hostile game. Think this is the best selection for this game."

@gallowgatenufc1 tweeted: "Bit of a risk I think. Quite a few changes but what do I know. In Eddie we trust."
