what the papers said
NORTHERN ECHO
The Defensive frailties that Allardyce had prioritised in his ‘to do’ list returned a vengeance. City’s goals No 1 and 2 should have been avoided and if the home side had won 5-1, it wouldn’t have been an injustice to the Magpies.
The elusive Elano and Martin Petrov destroyed Newcastle and even Given’s heroics in goal couldn’t prevent what was, in fact, a 3-1 drubbing.
