Newcastle didn't play impressively, it was more defense oriented, I know considering it a fair play wouldn't be bad considering it's their first game ever since after decades of not playing in the UCL, but then they should have given no chance to the fact that it's a first time after a very long time, it should have been seen as a privilege and utilizing it to it's maximum would have been a better option to explore.

Going by stats it's true they conceded no goal but they had less to almost no shots on target, same as their possession. So how else would you say their performance was not poor enough to be considered as one. Managing to draw was a fair one at least it earned them a point, which can be considered fair for a start but if Newcastle should continue with this style of play I don't see them going through the round of sixteen

I will say they only did their best but it wasn't good enough to be seen as a good play, although they still have room enough for improvement and make this first time after a very long while worth it. I hope to see Newcastle with a better performance in subsequent games and hope the really do go far in the champion's league and probably make their appearance a good one.
