6. Despite A Thin Squad, Newcastle Can Cope With Injuries
For the last few Premier League games Newcastle have been severely depleted by injury. Tim Krul has been unavailable, along with Collocini, Simpson and Tiote; 4 names regularly on the team sheet when fit. Despite that the Magpies have started the season pretty well, showing terrific drive to fight back twice to draw at Everton, unlucky to draw away at Maritimo and grinding out a win against Norwich (along with a much-needed clean sheet). With Tiote finally fit once more and Collocini close to a return hopefully Newcastles form will improve and the club can start stringing together results, both in Europe and in the Premier League. With the Magpies playing so many matches this season injuries are likely to happen and its then when versatile players such as Vurnon Anita and James Perch start to become invaluable.
