Steve Bruce has thrown in Yoshinori Muto from the cold against Leicester City – and it's fair to say it caught you all on the hop.
Here’s how you’ve been reacting to the news of Muto’s inclusion...
@NUFCINDIAfans – “Great to see @yoshimuto18 back in the line up ! Never really got many opportunities since signing for us. Really a good chance to showcase what he has got and help us get something out of the game today.”
@GeordieDubravka – “Muto and joelinton can both speak German, means Joe will have a better chance understanding his strike partner rather than trying to understand Andy Carroll’s accent.”
@Ben98whiteley – “Seems like a shop window game for Muto sadly BUT I much prefer him over Gayle at least he puts the effort in.”
@Garwain – “Joelinton can’t play a number 9 role, we can all see it apart from Bruce. Stop sticking to a failed strategy.”
