"FA Cup draw tonight Champions League fixtures for February still to be decided. Theres a scenario where Newcastle play Man City five times next month including four matches in a row. That scenario is called the worst-case scenario"

"Isak missed chances loads of chances but he didnt miss many when it really mattered. Tonight might have been the clearest example yet of Newcastle missing a real big-game killer up front Barca wasnt dissimilar"

"Since a blunt display at Man Utd Newcastle have created [--] big chances (thats loads) but have missed [--] of them (thats also loads). Theyve missed more big chances over the past five matches than theyd created over any prior five-match period (minor caveat with FA Cup ET)"

"The first of those matches at Burnley was Wissas first PL start and he alone accounts for six of those [--] misses. Newcastle look a good attacking team with Wissa on the pitch but they would look even better if he found form in front of goal"

"Newcastle are often accused of lacking ideas in games where they have all the ball feels like they have too many ideas at times today repeatedly refusing the easy pass/cross in front of them even when every ball into the box is a chance"

"Clearly this team wasnt built to play like this if it was theres no way Tonali would/could be playing that role. For all his strengths hes simply not good enough on the ball in that position"

"Disappointing result for Newcastle today but anyone writing off their top-five chances based on one draw in January clearly hasnt been paying attention this season"

"Says a lot for what the PL can be and is proving to be at this time of year that not a single team have won both of their past two matches. Not a single ongoing multiple-match winning run in the entire division"

"Eddie Howe identified the November international break as a potential turning point in Newcastles season. Across the [--] PL matches since then they are a top-three team for 🥉 Points (21) 🥈 Goals scored (21) 🥉 Goal difference (8)"

"Theyve disguised it well with some ridiculous errors but Newcastle have generally been really good defensively this season. Per Opta: 🥈 Premier League xG allowed (24.0) 🥉 Champions League xG allowed (6.5) And now [--] clean sheets in [--] matches for Nick Pope in all comps"

"Theyve got a problem up front atm. Everyone wants to laud Wissa after every goal but I dont think hes played well once yet and Woltemade is now more than a month of playing every three days without scoring Villa a really good side but we again been awful up top. #NEWAVA Villa a really good side but we again been awful up top. #NEWAVA"

"Newcastle now lead the PL in cross attempts (438) but their crossing accuracy how often a cross finds a team-mate is midtable (20.6%). Theres a stat somewhere on how many players teams get in the box cant imagine Newcastle fare too well"

"@_GRVME Yeah in fairness I want to see all that it would mean loads more great days/nights. I just dont think everything now has to be a steady march towards the next Club World Cup final; the manager should be allowed a mixed bag of a six months without it being a disaster imo"

"@honigstein @talkSPORTDrive @JacquiOatley He was injured at the time in all fairness. MOTD would have done well to analyse him again on his return on Saturday when he was brilliant"
