It is quite simple to sit and judge from this ivory tower, but hey, that's football after all, merely a game of opinions.

Almost every footballer's career has a sliding doors moment, and Georgia Stanway's came in the summer of 2022.

Newcastle's season has unravelled; with five Premier League games remaining and in the thick of a dire run of form, the Magpies find themselves closer to the bottom three than they are to the Champions League places, and their hopes of securing any form of European football are fading fast.
