Newcastle are not able to perform as well as we expected from them. Newcastle were defeated against Manchester City and Liverpool. However, their performance was quite good. Newcastle are not playing well against Brighton today. Their performance today is very poor. Brighton are performing well in home matches. And right now the Brighton team is leading 3-0. And the way Newcastle are performing, there is no chance of a comeback in this match. Undoubtedly, the Newcastle team is going to be defeated in today's match. Newcastle have lost three matches in a row. Newcastle is not able to perform as fast as last season this season.
We saw great performances from Newcastle last season. The bonding between the players on this team was very strong. So the team was able to consistently perform well. And they managed to qualify for the Champions League. After such an excellent performance we had high expectations from Newcastle this season. But Newcastle let us down.
Newcastle is now in 14th place in the points table. Despite starting the season with a win, the team lost the next three matches. And I would say the poor performance of the defenders was the main reason for Newcastle's defeat. Coach Eddie Howe definitely needs to work more on his defence. If the defense is not strong, it is unlikely to see the Newcastle team in the top 10 of the points table.
