If our defence was awake and stopped the cross, we'd be praising Dubravka for getting to it.

He's probably been our best player so far under Howe.

Howe is new and almost all of us are glad he is here. But we shouldn't just not criticise him when he makes a mistake, especially one that costs us big time. As long as he learns from it.

Looked better defensively than last time in the team. Still clueless going forward, like a deer in the headlights when he gets the ball. He just stops, does a little leg feint that achieves nothing and then passes it sideways.

Poor decision to start him, Clark is shit and immensely error prone, cost us so many goals. Get rid of Clark asap.

He was so bad for us last year he got replaced by Ritchie.

Both horrifically bad defensively but even worse is Lewis who is scared of the ball and going forward.

Getting hammered 3-0. Really need 6 points from the next two though.

I like Ritchie, he plays his heart out for the club, never a lack of effort from him. But oh my fucking god, Newcastle managers, STOP PLAYING HIM DEFENSIVELY. His defending ability is absolutely shocking, he should play as a winger and nothing more.

Not sure what Howe wants him to do in a CM with Shelvey, he has to be further forward surely. Leaves us with no cover for the defence with Shelvey and Willock and Willock isn't really the player to pass the ball well or create chances or defend.

Piss poor from the management not to sub him off when he got his head injury, down for that long he should have been subbed. Head injuries just aren't taking seriously enough in football.

Because he isn't a defender to be fair. He shouldn't be anywhere close to his own box, should be a winger getting forward.

We get relegated easily with the squad, don't think we will even be close to getting out the bottom 3 with it, we'll still be cut adrift. Don't see us signing any good players at all to help us survive when we are in that position either. We are fucked.

Pathetic performance in that 2nd half. Dubravka only player that look good. Howe needs to learn from his mistakes quickly and who is shit and how they can play. Shelvey and Willock for example, two games in a row is insane, no protection for the defence at all, especially when our fullbacks/ wingbacks are shit.

ASM has done absolutely nothing but give the ball away today.

No way we survive. We are done.

Aye, according to BT.

I have never ever seen 3% possession, even in 5 minutes of play but Howe managed it.

We just shouldn't be playing with wingbacks when we have no one that can play wingback.

Dubravka just doing Dubravka things. Joelinton good again. Fullbacks utter trash offering nothing but being poor defensively.

Shouldn't have given him the contract until after the WC, if we do well.

Only thing to blame him for the 3rd goal is the lead up to it. Too scared to come out to claim it, got lost after the ball hit him and didn't claim it when one of our players was near it.

There is a player in there. Fucked up at the end, but most of the game he was good. Very good defensively too.

People expecting Shearer to attack Bruce are a bit nuts mind, they are friends.

Ritchie looks like he fucking loves just running around
