Admitting that Newcastle has been somewhat lackluster recently. From a fairly good position, with a chance to advance to the Round of 16 in the UCL, they have experienced a significant downturn and were eliminated regrettably. In the match against Liverpool, I believe they made a mistake by choosing an offensive strategy against Liverpool, perhaps because they were trailing. However, going offensive against Liverpool is disadvantageous as Liverpool excels in rapid counter-attacks. So, Newcastle was easily defeated.
Newcastle suffered a setback due to the increasing injury crisis in the team, they have lost most of their starting players to injury and they still keep having players injured. Just before the match against Liverpool they lost trippier to injury again, a key player for them and it is the reason they have been lagging behind recently. They always put up agoid fight against stronger opponents but I guess Liverpool are more good offensively that’s why they couldn’t hold them but they put up a good fight anyway despite having so many injured players.
