But curious why Shelvey still plays the no. 10 role in a 4 - 3 - 3. Wasn’t Guimaraes an upgrade for this role?
Newcastle took a lot of risk in doing these transfer and i would guess that they basically need to stay in the Premier League in order to keep all those new players because i doubt that those typ of players are really willing to play in the second division for at least 1 year. With the recent performances it looks pretty good for Newcastle now and i think they will be able to stay in the league. But you never know if they get 1 or 2 unlucky losses in a row then the pressure will be instantly back and huge and this could of course lead to more losses and even more pressure with is kind of a downward spirale but it don't think that it will come to that.
Newcastle's performance is getting better after bringing in several new players in the January transfer market. So far Newcastle managed to get out of
the relegation zone and interestingly Newcastle managed to get 3 wins in a row. I really hope that Newcastle can stay in the Premier League, so that
it is easier for Newcastle to bring in new players at the end of this season. Because I believe in the financial strength that Newcastle has now,
if Newcastle manages to survive in the Premier League. Newcastle can definitely bring in some more players, in 2-3 years, I believe Newcastle
can compete in the top board.
