Do Newcastle have the best midfield 3 in the PL?
Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton have been put forward as the best in the league.
Manchester City, on paper, would definitely have a say - Rodri, KdB and Bernardo have been key for years but with the Rodri injury, de Bruyne getting to *that* stage of his career and Bernardo probably not quite at that level, it is questionable.
I am sure Liverpool will make a strong argument for Gravenberch, MacAllister and maybe Szoboszlai. The latter the one to still really convince while it is still early days for the unit.
Eddie Howe once again lamenting on the financial situation of football, so Newcastle may not have that unit for much longer - but is it currently the best around at the moment?

Possibly...think Joelinton is one of the most underrated players in the league tbh
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't particularly like him, dirty caaaant who seems to get away with a lot. But, I guess if he was in your team you would love it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly that DJ, he is an absolute caaant of a player and no idea how he doesn’t get more yellows and reds. He should have had a red in the first half against us.
But as you say, the f he is on your side you’re going to love him

Had him for 3 fouls and a yellow on Saturday, ref either missed a couple or played advantage early on and didn't think the yellow would ever come.

They are very good but I’d rather Mac and Gravenberch tbh.

Morgan Gibbs-White and Eliot Anderson are also in with a shout I reckon

Tonali is pretty good. I thought he be too flaky for the prem but seems very good addition for Newcastle.

I think Mac and Grav are in with a shout of being the best midfielder in the league, aside from Rodri who is the clear winner. Rice obviously in the conversation too, and Odegaard if you count him as one.

Quite possibly, all very good players that complement each other well, great technical and physical assets too.

Think when City are on it, it's probably the best players individually and also pretty well balanced and drilled as a unit. Whether it's Foden or Silva in the middle doesn't really alter much.
Newcastle are well balanced. Probably the best in that regard. As a unit it probably functions the best. Individually you only looking at Guimaraes who could walk into any team in the league and Tonali who's very good and then that who does his job

Tough to know as most teams are unable to keep their first choice midfield fit currently.
Newcastle have the massive benefit of being regarded as a 'physical team' and as a result getting reffed differently to others.
