'Resignation letter selection' - Newcastle United fans aren't happy with Steve Bruce's team to face West Brom


Win or draw and the Magpies will again prevent Fulham from climbing out the Premier League bottom three, but defeat opens the door for Scott Parker’s men, who take on Liverpool this afternoon.
The Magpies are without key trio Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron.

@Carrollsinger: “Called it! Hendrick playing defensive with lone striker Joelinton. Well played Bruce well played.”
@LeeJane23579390: “Playing for a draw isn’t going to work!”
@JimmyNailsTales: “Where are the goals in that team? Howay man!”
@AngelNUFC: “Krafth/Hendrick LOL Should have been Ritchie at full-back and Murphy on the wing.”
