Newcastle United can now bring on 'top-class' players from the bench because the Magpies have a 'huge talented squad' at their disposal.
That is the verdict of Nottingham Forest captain Joe Worrall after his side were on the receiving end of a 2-0 defeat at Newcastle on the opening day. The scoreline certainly did not flatter the hosts at St James' Park.
Although Newcastle only scored two goals - Fabian Schar and Callum Wilson both got on the score sheet in the second half - this was the Magpies' most dominant Premier League display in years. Newcastle had 61% possession, 23 shots and 11 corners; Forest, in contrast, failed to even test goalkeeper Nick Pope on his debut.
