Match

Newcastle United run riot against Diosgyor

4‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad

Dan Burn says Newcastle United went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Bruno Guimarães in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Newcastle United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Lewis Miley wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Newcastle United hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Player ratings

Jacob Ramsey runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

One of those days for Joelinton

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.57, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Sven Botman

Marked 9.24 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

One of those days for Nick Woltemade

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.26, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Fraser Harper signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Fraser Harper and Newcastle United agree another 4 years.

Boardroom

Newcastle United run out of patience with Nicholas Marshall

The end came on a Tuesday, as these things usually do: a short meeting, a shorter statement, and Nicholas Marshall clearing his office by noon. Football’s cruellest ritual, performed to schedule.

Boardroom

Daniel Stewart takes charge at Newcastle United

“Somebody has to pick the team on Saturday, and this week that is me.” An interim appointment with no promises attached, which is how most of them start.

Market

Joelinton wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Newcastle United hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Bruno Guimarães in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Newcastle United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Loan watch

Kacey Wooster has seen enough of Brighton

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Newcastle United, and 4 appearances in 37 say he has earned the hearing.

Boardroom

$9.4M taken back off the Newcastle United table

What was available in the summer has quietly gone. Upstairs nobody will call it a change of ambition; downstairs nobody will call it anything else.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Newcastle United

A 1‑4 beating by Liverpool was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Aaron Ramsdale keeps Newcastle United in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Malick Thiaw hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Newcastle United can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Newcastle United

Bruno Guimarães was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Jacob Ramsey in the eights

A performance of 8.60 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

One of those days for Yoane Wissa

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.49, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Newcastle United

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Loan watch

Kacey Wooster counts the days

“I watch every Newcastle United game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Brighton runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Dan Burn

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Harvey Barnes runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Newcastle United taken apart

0‑4 to Liverpool, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Market

Joelinton wants more than Newcastle United are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Bruno Guimarães in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Newcastle United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

4 matches without a win for Newcastle United

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Newcastle United are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Newcastle United dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad

Anthony Elanga gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Malick Thiaw is carrying Newcastle United

6 goals and a season average of 7.22. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad

A long afternoon for Odysseas Vlachodimos

Beaten 4 times, with 2 saves for company. Goalkeepers carry these scorelines on their record whoever actually caused them, which is the quiet injustice of the job.

In brief

  • Player ratings A day to forget for Sven Botman
  • The terraces Everybody has an opinion about Dan Burn
  • Loan watch Lewis Miley would rather not come back

Player ratings

Nothing got past Bruno Guimarães

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 44 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Sven Botman

Defensive actions: 27. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Jacob Ramsey

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Bruno Guimarães in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Newcastle United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Dan Burn

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Dan Burn, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Malick Thiaw

Defensive actions: 15. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.
