#3.Javi Manquillo

<p>

The Spanish full-back has been a regular starter for Newcastle following an injury to Paul Dummett in the opening clash of the season. Manquillo has been the weak link in Newcastle's defence so far as the fullback struggles to put in even a single decent display.

Manquillo has looked shaky in the back and has been poor with his clearances at times while the other fullback, DeAndre Yedlin, looks promising as he involves himself in counter-attacks and drops down quickly whenever his side loses possession.

The Spaniard's marking is another area of concern as opposition attackers go past him with ease during their attack. Manquillo has a mere 53% tackle success ratio this season which is quite poor considering Premier League standards.

With Dummett coming back from the injury, Manquillo will possibly be replaced and another option for his replacement is centre-back Chancel Mbemba, who can also play as a fullback when required.
