Rafa Benitez ‘We know them a little bit better’….as moves worked on in training were carried into a match situation.

Fans will have to wait anyway once the season kicks off, to see whether the potentially exciting partnership of Mitrovic and Gayle can live up to our hopes.

Matt Ritchie says ‘That’s the plan!’ (The last season he was in the Championship, he was involved in 33 goals…)

Watch all 6 goals v Bohemian FC, do you agree with Aarons top goal followed by Ritchie and Gayle?

This is the Newcastle United team named by Rafa Benitez to take on Bohemian FC in today’s opening friendly.
