Villa under Emery have rebuilt their squad—1 point. Spurs spent roughly £380m—2 points. Iraola at Liverpool—6 points. ​Meanwhile, we’ve undergo huge squad changes and have a manager just six weeks into the job. Taking 5 points from a brutal opening run is a solid foundation while things take time to click ⚽️📈 ​That doesn't excuse last night’s performance at all—the problems were clear and need addressing 🧠 ​But perspective is massive right now. We’re blooding a young squad with 7 key players missing through injury. There are going to be real highs and frustrating lows as this team develops. Stay patient, back the lads, and keep looking at the bigger picture 🖤🤍 ​What are your realistic expectations and team for the weekend? Let me know below before I do a video on this later 👇 #NUFC #NUFCNews #Newcastle #EPL
