Newcastle United supporters would start Alexander Isak on the bench for today’s clash against Crystal Palace. Despite scoring a last-minute winner to sucker punch Fulham a week ago, ChronicleLive readers have named the Swede on the bench in their fan XI.
Eddie Howe has rarely fielded a two-man attack during his 14-month reign as Newcastle manager. However, in desperate need of three points, the 45-year-old went gung-ho in search of a win last weekend.
Iska, Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron were all on the pitch when the 89-minute goal was scored. Toon number nine Wilson is without a goal in seven games across all competitions but fans have decided to stick with the striker in Howe’s trusted 4-3-3 system.
