Newcastle 2 Rayo Vallecano 1 - Match ratings and comments on all the NUFC players nufc
Made one or two saves and as always, swept up well behind his defence.No chance with the Rayo Vallecano consolation, as Matt Targett scored an own goal from close in.Newcastle’s best player on the day and I get the feeling he never plays any match as a friendly.
Not a case of doing anything over the top or daft, instead just putting in a pretty close version of what we see every week in the Premier League.Jamaal Lascelles – 5Got lucky at least a couple of times with poor defending.Sven Botman – 6One of many maybe blowing away the cobwebs as he returned to action on a chilly Tyneside day after the warmth of Saudi Arabia.
A bit sloppy at times himself but did his job overall against an opposition who didn’t have the biggest threat.A little unfortunate with the own goal as he came across to clear a threat from the other side but made the wrong connection.A cracking goal and saw another effort saved well by the visiting keeper.
Got around the pitch well and like many of his teammates, a mixture of some decent passing, combined with gifting possession at times.Won the penalty for the winner and just like Longstaff, a mixture of the good and not so good.If he is looking to force his way back into the team, didn’t go about it the right way today.Gave the ball away at times as well, I fail to see how he will become a regular first choice when Eddie Howe now requires such a high workrate and pace / stamina.
I don’t see him as a Premier League player and whilst always hoping to be proved wrong, today didn’t suggest for a second that this is the case.Linked up play well at times but along with many of his teammates, far too often Wood not on the same wavelength when the team got into the attacking third.team v Rayo Vallecano:Unused Subs:
