What did Newcastle fans make of Lascelles’ injury?
“Shoot me down but won’t be a big miss not vocal enough for me on the pitch and defo would not be my captain either. Need someone whos not afraid to tell the players some home truths on and off the pitch.“
Lascelles has made 19 Premier League appearances this season and he has also racked up a couple of goals for the Magpies. He played once in the League Cup, scoring in the Toon’s 7-0 rout of Morecambe (as per Transfermarkt).
“This may not go down well but I believe Fede is a better defender anyway. I also think it’s scandalous Bruce isn’t picking Ciaran Clark too! This playing fullbacks at centre half thing is utter lunacy.“
