Can set-piece coach get Newcastle's giants firing again?

Nick Woltemade quickly felt at home at Newcastle United. In more ways than one.

For the first time in his career, the 6ft 6in forward realised he was not the tallest player in the dressing room after completing his club-record move from Stuttgart last month.

Alongside Dan Burn (6ft 7in), the German now finds himself surrounded by other imposing figures, including Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman, Joelinton and William Osula.

These players do not all start for Newcastle at any one given time, but this towering side still have all the ingredients to carry a threat at set-plays.
