Dan Burn axed: Three Newcastle players who should be dropped vs Everton

Newcastle beat Crystal Palace 2-0; Jaissle should drop Willock, Schar and Burn for Everton Carabao Cup tie.

Newcastle United secured a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday, 25 October, with goals from Will Osula and Harvey Barnes. The win moved the Magpies to eighth in the Premier League and claimed just their second victory in five league matches under manager Matthias Jaissle.

Despite the positive result, Football Insider has identified three players who should be dropped for Thursday's Carabao Cup match against Everton on 29 October. Joe Willock, who has started Newcastle's last three games, produced another disappointing display with just one chance created and a 20 per cent dribble success rate. Fabian Schar, despite the clean sheet, won only 33 per cent of his ground duels and completed none of his eight long balls. At 34, he should be limited to a squad role. Dan Burn, also 34, continues to show rust from his injury layoff, winning just 45 per cent of aerial duels and being dribbled past once—Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman should return to the defence.
