Newcastle United star told he is a ‘machine’, and it’s not Sandro Tonali

Sandro Tonali leads the charge in the middle of the park with his unrelenting strength, making Newcastle United a physically formidable team.

 

The £55 million player is a vital member of Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United team because he never seems to stop running. Teammate Leo Shahar has referred to Tonali as a “beast,” and fans will undoubtedly agree with that description.

After Newcastle defeated Bradford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, the Italy international got some much-needed relaxation. Tonali was benched the whole night as Howe made seven changes to his starting lineup.

The Magpies completed the task in his absence. Malick Thiaw, who was signed in the summer, had one of the better performances in black and white.

Following Newcastle United’s match against Bradford City, Will Osula refers to Malick Thiaw as a “machine.”

Thiaw joined Sven Botman in a back four and started for the second consecutive game. The 24-year-old maintained his strong start to life on Tyneside with a dominant display.

His impact on his teammates is undeniable, as several of them were eager to commend him on social media after their Carabao Cup victory.

“Job done,” Thiaw said on his official Instagram account following his victory over Bradford City. Let’s go on!

Botman, his center-back partner, only posted the French word “frero,” which means “little brother.”

“Top bro!!” was added by Nick Woltemade.

After the victory over Bradford, Will Osula made the most intriguing remark, calling Thiaw a “machine.”

Tonali is receiving the kind of recognition you would anticipate, which says a lot about Thiaw’s influence at St. James’ Park since joining from AC Milan for £34 million.

When will Newcastle United’s Fabian Schar be back?

 

Without Fabian Schar, Thiaw has started two consecutive Newcastle United games. After sustaining a concussion during the Champions League loss to Barcelona, the Swiss center-back is currently out for a while.

It is anticipated that he will miss Sunday’s Premier League match between Newcastle and Arsenal, which should present Thiaw with his biggest Toon opportunity since joining the team.

The Magpies will thereafter resume playing in the Champions League. Schar should be eligible to return after adhering to concussion procedures on October 1st, when they play Union Saint-Gilloise.

It will be interesting to see if Howe sticks with the “machine” that is Malick Thiaw or instantly adds Schar back into his starting lineup.
