I do not have much to say about the situation of Newcastle now because it is pitiful the condition that they found themselves. That condition does not fit new people to the Champions League. There is already imbalance in the squad and they are already struggling in the Premier League. This squad cannot fight effectively in the group of death that Newcastle found themselves.
I can only vouch for Newcastle by January, if they will be able to land a few quality players.
This situation needs to be corrected not by new players, but by working with the team. Newcastle, as we saw it at the end of last season, was a team that could compete equally with the top clubs in Europe. And in friendly matches in preparation for the new season, they also played very well, even the opening match against a very strong Aston Villa was more than impressive, perhaps even such a big victory allowed the Newcastle players to relax. There is nothing surprising in the defeats to City and Liverpool, these are very strong teams and Newcastle lost to them by only one goal, which is not very critical, the defeat to Brighton does not look very logical, but I think it is too early to talk about a crisis in Newcastle, although its position In the Premier League they made it very difficult.
