Willock did not show the desired power or dynamism against Man City last weekend, losing 60% of his duels and failed to complete Dribling. It didn’t surprise that Howe decided to need things for the second half.
Miley, of course, is not Joelinton, but that energy and boyish aviation could act for the benefit of Newcastle, especially with the hard and talented Bruno and elegant tonals.
