Newcastle United have endured a rollercoaster season on and off the pitch in 2023-24.
The campaign promised so much with Champions League football and around £150million worth of summer signings. But Newcastle's new signings have struggled to make an impact for one reason or another while the club exited the Champions League at the group stage and currently sit 10th in the Premier League table with 10 games remaining.
Injuries have played a significant role in Newcastle's season with several key players at a time ruled out. But that hasn't stopped the side from putting in some great performances and picking up memorable results.
Newcastle's 4-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League group stage back in October is arguably one of the greatest nights in recent memory at St James' Park. The club also beat rivals Sunderland 3-0 in the FA Cup and picked up impressive wins over Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Aston Villa.
And we've looked at each member of Newcastle's squad to assess how they have fared as the side prepares to head into the final run of matches. We've limited the list to players who have started competitive matches for Newcastle so far this season.
Here is our ranking of the Newcastle United players based on their respective seasons so far...
9. Elliot Anderson - 6
Was pushing for a spot in the starting XI most weeks before picking up a concerning back injury that ruled him out for an extended period. Came back into the side for the final months of the season and put in some solid displays. | Getty Images
10. Martin Dubravka - 6
Dubravka has stepped into the side in Nick Pope's absence but Newcastle have gone from having a relatively solid defensive record to leaking goals. Was Newcastle's penalty shootout hero at Blackburn to help the side progress to the FA Cup quarter-final. | Getty Images
11. Nick Pope - 6.5
Guilty of a couple of shaky moments and mistakes that weren’t quite so frequent last season but still put in a number of impressive displays, keeping five clean sheets in a row earlier in the season before dislocating his shoulder. Only returned to action on the final day at Brentford, where he made several good saves. | Getty Images
12. Harvey Barnes - 6.5
Came on and grabbed a goal and an assist on his debut against Aston Villa before his season was significantly impacted by a foot injury. Scored an important goal against Luton Town and helped Newcastle complete a stunning turnaround with a late brace against West Ham United. Also scored on the final day at Brentford. A frustrating first season for Barnes at Newcastle, but he still left his mark. | Getty Images
