It's not looking good at halftime. Newcastle is on top and I don't see us turning it around.
And so it proved. If not for Ramsdale, it could have been 4-0 or 5-0. We had just a couple of decent chances; Newcastle had dozens. Fair result, and the end of our Champions' League dreams. Norwich is not going to beat Spuds at Carrow Road.
When you look at our goal difference this year (+9), it's clear that we are not at the level of the other Premier League squads in the top four. Europa League is a competition we might go some ways in. We'll see.
I won't bother to rate the players. The whole team just plain got embarrassed today. The Magpies came to play, and they crushed us. Everton must be encouraged by what they saw and think they have a safety valve to avoid relegation.
only Everton for you; Everton and MU for us. Let both hope we can get three out of it. Three for us are only style points, but I would hate to come up empty at the end of the year.
