The only minor positive thing was that Kinski did all right and couldn't have been blamed for the defeat.

A couple of good interceptions and a couple of good saves.

But his distribution was fine too, which was his big fault in Madrid against Atletico when he was taken off early in the game.

Yeah, my view was it was a penalty kick.

I know there would be lots of other views and obviously the view of the photo official and the referee we saw, but to me it was a foul.

I thought that Alderate was the one in contact with Mouani initially.

I thought he made contact with him with the back of his calf and then O'Neill, whatever he was doing, going on the ground, the ball was drifting over the end line.

I thought he also made contact with Mouani without getting any contact to the ball.

But there you go, it was over.

There was plenty of time in the game for sports to get over that and they didn't really once they conceded the goal.

they conjured up very, very little.

It was 11 minutes injury time, a bit more than that played.

And it was only the Porrow attempt and goal was the only shot they had.

He played a little one-two with his other full-back of Daggie getting up into the box.

But it may have been going over the bar anyway, but the keeper touched it over.

But overall,

Richie, Newcastle, or Sunderland with a better team, beat Newcastle last time out, played well, always a threat, Robbie up front was a handful, kept the centre-halves, under pressure the whole game, that midfielder on top, Zaka controlled it, playing the passes.

and the deliveries to get the front men going.

Siddiqui breaking from midfield was really good.

De Jara supporting the front man.
