Newcastle Friendly: Wissa and Touré Shine in Jaissle's Debut Win

Lukas Hornicek: Showed confidence with the ball and made some solid saves. However, he needs to be more vocal with his central defenders and assert greater control in his area. 7

Leo Shahar: Displayed a positive approach, consistently attempting to play penetrating passes down the right flank. A valuable developmental experience for the 19-year-old. 7

Malick Thiaw: Was given the captain's armband on his 25th birthday, offering a potential glimpse into the team's future leadership. 7

Sven Botman: Experienced a nerve-wracking moment due to a defensive mix-up, nearly heading the ball into his own net, but managed to recover effectively. 6

Miodrag Pivas: Put in a commendable performance. It's challenging for a young, right-footed centre-back to play out of position at left-back. 7

Aladji Bamba: Made his first appearance since his transfer from Monaco, potentially worth up to £34 million. While occasionally a little casual with some passes going astray, he appeared composed and actively sought possession. 7

Jacob Ramsey: Delivered a stunning chipped pass that led to a goal, which was subsequently ruled offside. He was energetic and consistently looked to advance forward. 8

Anthony Elanga: Was a vibrant presence on the field before a mistimed challenge from Jose Gaya forced him off. He was taken off on a stretcher in distress, though the club is optimistic about the injury after he suffered a bruised shin. 7

Nick Woltemade: Prefers the number 10 role but struggled to significantly influence the game. He was often dispossessed too easily and needs to contribute more. 5

William Osula: Saw one shot hit the side netting from a tight angle and also had a penalty appeal denied. 6

Harvey Barnes: His effort was never in doubt, but he faces stiff competition from Touré for a starting position. 6
