#NUFC just aren’t very good.
The effort is largely there, but there’s a stark lack of quality.
The biggest cheer of the night came when a lad won a trip to Vegas at half-time.
It’s all feeling very pre-takeover, which, 5 years into the new ownership, is a big, big problem.

The most concerning thing about #NUFC right now is the lack of a clear identity.
Even when we lost under Howe, you could see what he was trying to do.
Now, what are we? A pressing side? Possession-based? Counter-attacking?
I genuinely can’t tell, and that’s worrying.

Never know who you’re going to meet on the Quayside! Was very happy to stop and say hello - seemed a friendly fella 🙌 #NUFC
Barnes winner plus our reaction to one of the worst refereeing decisions I've ever seen 😅
Great being back behind the mic for @radiotyneside alongside Max Taylor!
#NUFC
Huge credit needs to go to Matthias Jaissle for that win tonight.
Bringing Barnes on completely changed the game for #NUFC - but more importantly, he had the courage to make that call at half-time.
Decisiveness.
Amar Dedić looks like he’s been playing for #NUFC for years.
Two assists tonight and another seriously impressive performance.
Still early days, but £30m is already looking like very good business.

All smiles from #NUFC’s new number 6 Nico Gonzalez - what a brilliant signing that is 👏
Can’t wait to be back in the commentary box for the first time this season 🙌
Newcastle host West Brom in the Carabao Cup. Will be interesting to see what kind of starting XI Jaissle goes for...
Predictions #NUFC fans?? 🤔

Many over-analysing a pre-season friendly against Everton.
Happens every summer!
Jaissle has clearly been leading some extremely intense training sessions as per his style of play.
Yes we need more bodies, but absolutely no need to panic atm 👍 #nufc
You can know something is inevitable and still be completely unprepared for it.
That’s how today feels.
Eddie Howe leaves as one of the greatest figures in Newcastle United’s history.
Thank you for everything. #NUFC
This is very good news. Hugely underrated player for #NUFC
🚨✍🏼 BREAKING: Harvey Barnes has signed a new long-term contract at Newcastle United.
🏹 The 28-year-old had two years left on his existing deal, but has now committed his future to #NUFC.
⚽️ Barnes scored 16 goals last season, and has netted an impressive 30 in 120 games for Newcastle.
🗣️ Barnes: “Newcastle is a special. It’s been an amazing journey so far, and I’m delighted to continue that.”

There’s been some great games in this WC.
But the Americans have shown that they should be nowhere near this sport & FIFA is destroying the game. Delayed kick offs, half time shows, red cards being ‘suspended’, horrific refereeing, hydration breaks for advertising…
Horrible.

Ahh, karma. Ain’t it a bitch.
Football is always the winner, and that match was contested between a proper footballing side, and a gang of classless thugs.
¡Vamos, España! 🇪🇸

My take on this is if he genuinely wants to go, let him.
We don’t want another Isak situation.
And can you blame him? All our best players are leaving (again), and there’s been a distinct lack of ‘marquee’ signings (again).
However, £60m is nowhere near enough.
🚨 EXCL: Bruno Guimaraes informs Newcastle United of wish to leave & join Arsenal. #AFC stepping up pursuit - ready to offer deal worth up to £60m at present but no club-to-club contact yet + #NUFC stance still not entertaining bids for 28yo @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7397441…
And so ends a season for #NUFC that promised so much, but delivered very little.
A fun ride in the Champions League, but never got going in the Premier League.
A huge, huge rebuild needed this summer - Eddie deserves to be part of that imo.
Enjoy the summer everyone 🍻

This is an absolutely brilliant bit of work from the @England media team 👏

A lot of big calls in here and great to see 3 #NUFC players in there, but leaving out Lewis Hall is absolutely baffling.
Clearly the best English left back this season…by some distance.
