Newcastle United enjoyed a memorable campaign as they secured a top four finish and Champions League football for the first time in 20 years. The Magpies also reached a first major cup final since 1999 as they were beaten in the Carabao Cup 2-0 by Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.
While the season was overwhelmingly positive, an early FA Cup exit at the hands of League One side Sheffield Wednesday in January was a rare low-point.
We have assessed the performances and impact of every member of Newcastle’s first-team squad and players who featured in competitive fixtures for the club during the 2022-23 campaign.
Here are the final rankings...
17. Jamaal Lascelles - 6.5
Has had limited game time but has rarely let the side down when called upon. Certainly proven his worth to Eddie Howe and has maintained a first-class attitude as captain. His season was unfortunately cut short due to injury. | Getty Images
18. Allan Saint-Maximin - 6.5
It was a mixed-bag of a season for Saint-Maximin. A goal of the month winner against Wolves paired with one of his best performances in a Newcastle shirt against Manchester City saw him start the campaign well before picking up an injury that would ultimately prevent him starting a league match until after the New Year. Has been Newcastle’s best player in some matches while the biggest source of frustration in others. Still capable of producing moments of magic. Photo: Laurence Griffiths
19. Jacob Murphy - 7
Has featured in more games than any other player since Eddie Howe took charge of Newcastle. Hasn’t always produced on the field but remains a reliable presence off the bench and enjoyed a solid second half of the season with his best return in front of goal. His antics on and off the pitch have made him somewhat of a fan favourite this season too. | Getty Images
20. Dan Burn - 7.5
Living the dream at Newcastle. Started at centre-back but impressed when moved out to left-back despite obvious limitations. Remains in the position to date and also helped Newcastle on their way to Wembley with a crucial quarter-final goal against Leicester City. Also found the net against his former club Brighton in a 4-1 win that proved crucial in securing a top four finish. | Getty Images
