Overall

You all know that I felt Newcastle United’s performance against Fulham was poor. It was an absolute disaster. But you’ll get that with new players running the show. Hopefully, tomorrow’s match against Huddersfield will be different.

The new signings didn’t fare too well. I felt the performances were weak mostly with the two exceptions. With Hanley’s poor defending and Dwight Gayle’s lack of strong offense, the match just wasn’t up to par with what we expect from this club.

Next: This rumor is ridiculous

In time, I think the new players will mesh very well. But that needs to happen quickly if this club will be promoted by the end of this season.
