Have to be happy with the point, given the horrendous performance.

Great game and a fair result. Not Peps best day.

Thought we were our usual selves in the second half and to come back - heart of champions etc...

Some odd decision making near the end, they looked they would score every time they attacked down our left in the first half - Newcastle will be a tough out at home this season.

Also, please Phil - pass the ball across to Haaland in the first half ffs!

The players did great to rescue a draw, but I'm gonna say it's Pep's fault for not changing things sooner. It was obvious that Walker and Cancelo were getting done when playing inside, and contributing nothing in terms of controlling midfield either. When we changed them to proper full backs and brought Gundo and De Bruyne back into midfield, we dominated.

I think that will be a good point come end of season.
100% red though

Defence absolutely shocking today, all 3 out of 10 performance. Attacking wise we were better but it was an off day. All credit to Newcastle they deserved a piunt

Brilliant fightback. Showed character

Did well to get back to get a point but that was a poor performance overall.

Individually and as a unit we were all over the place. Everyone running away from each other, spaces too large between players, too many long passes, too narrow in attack and defence, making too many wrong choices and the biggest standout was how much harder they worked than us for a good hour of the game at least.

But a point where we could easily have lost.

Cup final for Newcastle today. They won’t play like that in the first half again this season. Very good result today for us considering we went 3-1 down.

Newcastle played well.
We were somewhat below our best for most of that match
Fair result.
