A poor show at St James’ Park each individually and collectively, the place Newcastle United fell to a 2-1 defeat to Fulham after a dreadful second half displaying.
Right here come the scores and our feedback on every participant concerned:
Dubravka (6) – Might do nothing for the primary aim and was left uncovered for the second. Might we see Pope return quickly?
Livramento (4.5) – Didn’t look proper. Stood off defensively, failing to cease crosses, and regarded half asleep at occasions. Made some lung busting runs within the first half however was sacrificed for the calm head of Trippier within the second.
Schar (4.5) – Performed one or two pretty diagonals however so lots of his balls out from the again had been wayward and wasteful. Defensively he was poor once more and regarded half asleep at occasions. You’re feeling if Botman was proper footed he’d be beginning.
Burn (5) – Not his most interesting efficiency. Gained practically each aerial battle however was caught out on multiple event by the vigorous Jimenez.
Corridor (5) – Turned inside out at first of the second half by Traore however was in any other case OK. Linked up with Gordon nicely within the first half particularly, however pale within the second.
Joelinton (4) – Did little apart from give away the ball and clumsy free kicks. Was fortunate to not have been booked even earlier and was manner off his recreation immediately. Hooked after an hour and may haven’t any complaints.
Tonali (5.5) – Harsh yellow card topped off an sad day for the Italian who thumped the bar with a rocket within the first half. Offered Murphy quick with a easy move which immediately result in the equaliser. Uncommon day once we had been outclassed in midfield
Guimaraes (4.5) – Very poor. Sloppy in possession and was decide pocketed on multiple event. Let’s hope it’s only a one off!
Murphy (6.5) – Nice end to place us forward and threatened with some nice balls into the field. Conceded the free kick which led to the winner. Ran his socks off all recreation.
Gordon (6.5) – Most likely one of the best of a nasty bunch immediately. Ran laborious all recreation and confirmed his high quality within the lead as much as the opening aim. Can maintain his head up
Isak (5.5) – Rattled the bar within the second half however was largely nameless all through the sport. Uncommon off day for our talisman
Subs:
Trippier (5) – Introduced on to instil come calm to the defence throughout Fulham’s interval of dominance. It didn’t work.
Willock (4) – Air swing from 4 yards out sums up his efficiency. Misplaced possession a number of occasions and added nothing off the bench, which is changing into a theme now.
