Newcastle United's team news is in – but fans are still not convinced by 'Steve Bruce's way'
and live on Freeview channel 276
He’s named his starting XI to take on Arsenal at the Emirates – and here’s how #NUFC reacted on Twitter…
@thomas_millman – “Bruce has backed himself into a corner by playing so defensively against Sheff Utd and losing. Now he’s gone back to a 4-4-2 by the looks of it but not playing Hayden could leave us very exposed. It could have been worse...”

Hide Ad@NUFCRyan8 – “Shelvey starting over Hayden and Lascelles back in the XI, never seen a worse lineup in me life.”
@Jbaber9 – “How many false number 10’s are we playing tonight?”
@austen_89 – “Hate to always be critical but he starts @AndyTCarroll but doesn’t start someone who can cross the ball.”
@ConnorNUFC_ – “Matty Longstaff is back and Lewis is back too. Andy Carroll instead of Gayle tho… "Gloves are off"… Interested to see how this goes...”

@IfRafaGoesWeGo – “So after 18 months of doing it “his way” we now have a Head Coach who’s going to tear everything up and do things “his way” instead.”
@ian_hannon20 – “@NUFC going for it? Thought the gloves were off?”
