A blistering start from Newcastle and, had you offered this to most fans before the game, they would have taken it.
Newcastle have looked comfortable going direct, which is the Jaissle way in matches like this. Anthony Elanga took his goal so well, too, in complete contrast to a year ago at Villa.
Yoane Wissa has been excellent as a No 10, too. There are big gaps in midfield which Liverpool are ghosting through, though, and that needs to be addressed.
Will Osula’s knock is a big concern as well because Newcastle’s threat in behind lessened once his movement was impeded.
