"Chaotic".

That is how Monday Night Club's Chris Sutton described Newcastle's style of play.

The Magpies are under scrutiny after a difficult spell and Sutton said: "On the face of things, mid-table, they have had an OK start. It's hard after only seven gams to make a call on teams. But they are very chaotic in the way they play."

The team discussed Matthias Jaissle's decision to use Dan Burn up front late in the fixture and Sutton saw no issue given he felt Newcastle didn't look like scoring beforehand.

"It does worry me watching them that they seem to be a team that are all-in, absolutely all-in. They will get picked off unless they become a little bit more balanced."

Journalist Rory Smith added: "If you said at the end of last season Newcastle lose Gordon, Guimaraes, Tonali and Howe, you probably get this, to be honest."
