But then I was thinking, okay, second half, we can go at them again, but they never really got their second half and the best team won Liverpool, were the best team by a mile in the second half and deserved to take the three points.

And I think, I don't know, it sort of sums up where Newcastle are, that the manager chooses to leave

three forwards basically on the bench.

He left Vissar on the bench, left Valtamara on the bench.

Osula was on the bench.

I don't know what's that, 135, 140 million quids worth of talent.

And you go into it with a guy who hasn't scored for nearly 13 months in open play.

So it tells you where Newcastle are with their forwards at the minute.

What are you laughing at, Micah?

I can just see your shoulders giggling away there.

Well, you're getting a bit excited down, yeah?

I mean, he's a really, really talented player, there's no doubt about it, but it's a bit early to say he's...

He could be in that bracket.

I mean, those are incredible players.

But talent-wise, fabulous.

Yeah, Newcastle, I guess it hurt a bit more because without doubt they were in for him before all the Isak situation was there, you know.

So...

Yeah, he's a great talent.

His second goal was fantastic.

I mean, it was the way Liverpool broke and then particularly the way he won V1 with Malik Chow.
