You're right, Newcastle can't be called an average team. They've been consistent in the Premier League for quite a while now, but this doesn't guarantee this season Newcastle will be at the high level like last season. Their stats against Liverpool might makes you feel bad as they are are on 7th Premier League games without a win against Liverpool. But, I'll be happy if this match against Liverpool will be tough because Newcastle have the strength and form to punish them. At the same time, Liverpool still have enough quality to edge it if they stay focused. I'll be pick Liverpool anyway.

I do not know your bases of judgement for an average team and one which is not but for me any team who is not consistently at the top five by the end of the season is on which I consider an average team and seeing Newcastle I doubt they have been consistent around this spots in the last five seasons, I stand to be corrected though. Secondly I do consider team depth as another checker for average team and with Newcastle we agree that they have only a very few top players of which the rest are mostly average so except they keep improving, that is where I see them for now.

They have to be more consistent in their performance in other to place them ahead of others in this season, quite alright Newcastle has been trying and keeping up to their best of performance, but if we could not forget that each league is always surrounded by high level of competitions from various teams, while only those that made it to the final stage are being celebrated, if they don't relent, they will definitely go ahead and continue being on top.
