00:00Things come at you fast at Newcastle United, and just after progress was secured in the FA Cup, it's a week with another two Premier League games.
00:08Newcastle United have been all over the place on the road in recent weeks, and this time it's Wolves on Wednesday night, and of course Bournemouth on Saturday.
00:18Makes for, it doesn't read as tricky this week as what it probably has in recent weeks with away trips.
00:24A home game against Villa, away trips to Man United, Arsenal, Tottenham, but they'll pose their own sort of problems.
00:32And of course we'll have Jordan Cronin at Eddie Howe's press conference at Benton on Tuesday to assess all of the options.
00:40My thoughts out of that one are it'll be great to see Newcastle United link up that front six again.
00:48A lot of talk of Newcastle United's midfield, the Joe Linton, Tonali, Bruno link up in midfield.
00:54A lot of people talking about the high quality that it possesses, almost being the perfect unit.
01:00My question that I would pose to everybody out there, and I'd like to see in the comments you guys say your thoughts.
01:08I don't think there is at the moment, now this doesn't mean individuals, this is a unit, at the moment a more complete front three in the Premier League on form than Newcastle United's at the moment.
01:21You've got Anthony Gordon, arguably, even prior to this recent run of form, arguably the best left forward in the Premier League, left winger, whatever you want to call it.
01:31Alexander Isak has rose to prominence in the wider perspective's eyes, I think we all knew here on Tyneside how good he really was.
01:38A lot of people talking about being the £150m striker we've always known him to be.
01:43But then there's been the contributions of Jacob Murphy, who to me could find Isak in a maze at the moment.
01:49The amount of assists he's providing and chipping in with goals as well.
01:52Providing that real graft on the right hand side to add a unique balance to that front three.
01:58So my question would be to you guys out there, do you think there is a more well balanced and complete front three?
02:04And take that a little bit further, is there a more balanced in form front six in the Premier League than Joe Linton, Tonali, Bruno, Murphy, Isak and Gordon?
02:18Let me know your thoughts.
