Better team for the entire game. Pressed brilliantly and carved us open at will. They could and should have won by a much bigger margin.
Best team I’ve seen us play so far in the Premier League by some distance.
The end. |  |

It's very, very quiet.

They really were nothing more than average. We were absolutely shocking. We gifted them 3 goals. Literally. |  | | |

It was men against League One boys, by and large …… it is what it is . So why try and play “ total football against them, “ ffs! |  |

They're clearly starting to click into gear, sadly for us
They had plenty of pace over the pitch and totally overwhelmed us really |  |

We obviously saw very different games then. They made us look bang average at best. | |

Didn't see more in them than villa tbh. There goals too weren't brilliant goals we just didn't defend well to a man. Font think isak had to move for his hattrick.
I think had we matched them in the middle. They'd have come unstuck a bit. |  |

We didn’t lay a glove on them all game. They were physically so much stronger than us and technically superior than we were in every department. | |

Look at the ball we played tho. Into bodies wtf was that gonna do all game?
We keep playing burns yet don't put the ball in the gaps for him.. if we aren't gonna do that then go hutch right at least then he's not being man handled in the middle.
We played to much to Newcastles strengths which was bizarre. | |

Newcastle pretty much stopped us playing. Quicker, stronger and much better than us.
Very little space to play and nullified us completely. | |

We try playing the ball into space for Burns, so you're wrong. We're just not good enough to do it against the opposition we're playing against. Story of our season so far, and that's no one's fault. |  |

How many time did burns get the ball down the line ahead of a Newcastle player?
If you can't get him in, then there's no reason to play him. That's when he's dangerous. | |

Not many.
I don't think McKenna planned for Burns to have a bad game, though. | |

Burns didn't have a bad game. He had his normal game at this level when not being able to do what he does best. Hence its pretty redundant using him when he's spent most of the game in his own half. That's what I mean. If you're playing burns then he has to have roam of the 2nd half of the pitch if he doesn't then you need a hutch who can make a yard for himself from that right side. Imo | |

But then you also need hutch in other areas of the pitch.
We just haven't got the depth or quality in depth to use. | |

Agree. I’d add that even when the rain was swirling down their control of the game was exceptional. If they’d have need ten, they’d have scored ten. |  | | |

You'd think McKenna will have seen enough by now to realise who is more effective and dangerous playing wide right out of Hutch or Burns, wouldn't you. Clearly not! | |

We couldn’t match them anywhere, they were miles above us in every way. It was nothing to do with tactics, they were just far superior. | | | |

We didn't do anything to try and counter their actions tho. That was a tactical issue.
We could have swapped Sammy to the left early on. Give. Davis some support on that flank. Which may have allowed us to give burns more room on the opposite flank to get higher meaning we would have tried more balls down the line for him. Etc. | |

Sometimes, you have to hold your hands up and accept that the opposition were far superior to us in all aspects of the game as Newcastle were today.
No more time to waste on here now as I’m feeling fruity and so is the missus so I’m off to bed for some shimanyhoo before I get too tired. | |

You’re overthinking, man for man they were far superior to us in every way, and they were on their game. There was nothing we could do to counter it, we were simply outclassed. As Joe Royle once said ‘it’s about players not tactics’, which is not always true but was certainly the case today. | | | |

Of course you can counter it. By changing things.
If you're then beaten fair play but we didn't change a thing. What was so high quality from Newcastle today to say we were outclassed? They just stood on us whilst we floated around in our 4 2 3 1. Waited for the left side gap to open up and boom in they went.
That's not overthinking it was seeing things happening and wondering why we continued to play the exact same way. Even after a chappers timed injury delay. We carried on as before. Midfield didn't move. Shape didn't change. Passing wasn't any different. | |

Agreed, they were excellent, fast but also physically strong players.
Guimaraes, Tonali and Isak all excellent, |  |

Very good team who have underperformed too many times this season.
They didn't today though.
Tonali and Bruno were outstanding, dictated the game. Very impressed. |  |

We couldn’t pass because they pounced on everything, they were stronger, sharper, quicker and more skilfull than us in every department, you can’t change that in game, that’s just reality. In a duel like that there’s nothing you can do unless the opponent is having an off day. Today Newcastle were on their game and we were second best. It happens. If 11 players who are better than us are playing to their maximum they will beat us no matter what we do, as was proven today. | | | |
