Mason Miley

Did their dad play football? Because that is bloody good genes.

Mason Miley, he's 17, not 15.

See, he's

got the alliterated name.

Yeah, Mason Miley.

Mason Miley, I'd have.

I'm not having Lewis.

And he's 17, not 15.

But hopefully, Amar Dedic will be back soon.

Yeah, and what was interesting at that moment was that when Lewis Miley was down on the floor, Yaisla walked over to 17-year-old Mason Miley and was telling him to get ready and to warm up, which says a lot about how high up in his estimations that Mason Miley, the impression he made over pre-season, I think going into pre-season, Eddie Howe felt that maybe Mason Miley could get ahead of Leo Shahar in terms of what he could potentially bring, and obviously Shahar's gone out on loan now and Mason Miley, but he is still just a 17-year-old lad and he's barely even had half a season at under-21 level, never mind coming into a Premier League match but yeah Tino Livermando it's frustrating I really feel for him as well because I know the reaction that you get online is a sick note or the like and I think it's difficult no professional footballer wants to be injured and he keeps getting these injuries and every time it looks like he's back he's then picked it up again hopefully that one's not too serious but it seems to be linked to previous injuries he's had before and that is worrying Amar Dedic I mean there's actually been some quotes in the media I've seen from his national coach having a go at Newcastle not happy at Newcastle suggesting that if he hadn't featured as much for Newcastle then maybe he would have been able to play for his international team instead the suggestion is he may be back by Coventry so for Newcastle that's a plus but obviously not for his nation there necessarily but the The fact that Newcastle have so many midfielders and that Lewis Miley can play at right-back, I think covers them a little bit there.

But they already went into the season short at full-back.

They haven't got an out-and-out left-back.

He's a defender, he's 21.

Mason Miley, who we've spoken about before, he was there.

Then the fifth one was Kyron Thompson, who'd only just arrived.

He's a 17-year-old, arrived from Arsenal somewhere.

Obviously, none of them got on the pitch, but...

We were watching them all arrive before the game and we thought, well, we knew Mason Miley would be involved because he was involved at Leeds.

We thought Michael Mills would be involved because Michael Mills travelled to Leeds, wasn't involved in the squad, but we knew that those extra injuries emerged from that Leeds game and none of them were going to come back.

In reality, there was five of the under-21s on the bench.

So we had Mason Miley, Michael Mills, Kieran Thompson, who joined from Arsenal, Vaktang Salia, who obviously joined a couple of years ago and has done well for the under-21s this season, and Maydrag Pivas, who's been involved in the first team over the summer.

obviously none of them got on I think they might have got on if they said scored that goal and Newcastle got out of sight but the positive that they're in the squad I know it was out of necessity didn't really have a choice but it does feel that how do you describe it in the press comments on Thursday he wants to build a bridge between the academy and the first team it does feel that way doesn't it

It does.

And he did well.

He could play Lewis Morley right back.

He could play Mason Miley right back, Billy.

I wouldn't risk Mason.

Yeah, no, I wouldn't either, but he could do.

You also have Jacob Murphy as an emergency full-back, although others won't.

And Mason Miley did well in pre-season.

Centre-back, yes, I agree with you on that.

Lewis Miley as well.
