Newcastle Friendly: Wissa and Toure Shine in Jaissle's Debut Victory
Lukas Hornicek: Showed comfort on the ball and made a few good saves. However, he needs to improve his communication with his center-backs and be more commanding in his area. 7
Leo Shahar: Displayed a positive attitude, consistently looking to play passes in behind down the right flank. This was a valuable experience for the 19-year-old. 7
Malick Thiaw: Captained the side on his 25th birthday, offering a potential glimpse of future leadership. 7
Sven Botman: Experienced a worrying moment due to a defensive mix-up, almost heading the ball into his own net, but managed to recover. 6
Miodrag Pivas: Performed adequately. It was a challenging situation for a young, right-footed center-back playing out of position at left-back. 7
Aladji Bamba: Marked his first appearance since joining from Monaco in a deal potentially worth up to £34m. At times, he appeared a little casual, with a couple of misplaced passes, but overall he looked composed and eager to receive the ball. 7
Jacob Ramsey: Delivered a superb chipped pass that led to a goal, which was later disallowed for offside. He was energetic and consistently pushed forward. 8
Anthony Elanga: Was a bright spark on the field until he was the victim of a poor challenge from Jose Gaya. He was stretchered off in evident discomfort, but the club is hopeful the injury is not serious, with initial assessments suggesting a bruised shin. 7
Nick Woltemade: While he favors the number 10 role, he struggled to make a significant impact on the game. He was dispossessed of the ball a bit too easily at times 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 turned down. 6
Harvey Barnes: His effort was never in doubt, but he faces stiff competition from Toure for a starting position. 6
