Before their competition at the Emirates Stadium, Newcastle United was still at the top of the Chelsea 2-0 fighter during the current race to finish in the places of the Premier League in the Champions League.
However, the Magpies quickly returned to reality after losing 1-0 against the artillerymen of Mikel Arteta, which means that only point now separates the Toon of Eddie Howe from the Seventh Forest of Nottingham. Unfortunately, only the first five are allowed to place themselves around the elite table in Europe.
Consequently, Newcastle will have to return to the victory at home at Everton by David Moyes to cement a place, with a certain number of sub-performants at risk of being removed from this crucial equality.

Newcastle’s biggest underperformances against Arsenal
Newcastle simply did not participate in this competition far from home with the same clinical advantage that they showed against the Blues of Enzo Maresca, while the waste of finish ruined his day throughout. In short, it was obvious that they lacked Alexander Isak who was excluded by an injury,
Come at the end of the finely ready confrontation, Newcastle has in fact improved hosts in terms of gunshots, but Arsenal has shown more self -control in moments of crunch, especially when Declan Rice’s last stunning turned out to be the difference in difference between the two teams.
Visitors simply did not have this same composure in their locker, with Anthony Gordon a real disappointment throughout the attack zones, which led to the old winger of the Everton ending the game without any tried effort on the net of David Raya. In addition to that, a badly judged dribbling of the original attacker of Liverpool would culminate in rice which pulls at home.
In addition, Harvey Barnes would only bring together 14 touches of the ball in the opposing left channel during a quiet day at the office of the former man of Leicester City, while Jacob Murphy would not manage to provide a spark in the wings when he failed to record a specific cross.
But, the most anonymous body may have started for the last time carrying the famous black and white stripes.
4/10 failure should never start again for Newcastle
Newcastle was, of course, hampered during their trips by a 27 -go -in machine, Isak is injured, but Howe would have hoped that those who reserve would have set the brand in the expensive absence of the Swedish.
Instead, Callum Wilson really had trouble directing the line for the Magpies throughout, which made the 33 -year -old player was hung by his manager just after the hour.

It was not exactly an out -of -competition season for Wilson far from his difficulties in the north of London – with a single goal to come the former AFC striker Bournemouth – but even this disastrous demonstration on the big stage against the men of Arteta felt like a bottom, especially since his future of St. James’ Park is blocked in balance.
Through his 64 -minute forgetting stay, Wilson failed to record a single shot on the goal of Arsenal, failed to finish a single dribble to test the defense of the Gunners and failed to win a lonely duel of seven attempts.
Right next to this single demonstration, Wilson is unlikely to be kept before this season, especially when there are young promising talents such as William Osula available to Howe in the department of attackers.
Osula came instead of the 33 -year -old veteran in fact, and although he did not test Raya either, he valiantly won two duels for the cause.
Consequently, the future could well lie with Osula now to the persistence of a declining Wilson, with the journalist live Chronicle Lee Ryder just as unhappy with the performance of the attacker during the distribution of a low note of 4/10.
Despite the negligent finish of his team with a full -time whistle, Howe will again pray to Isak for the vital final competition.
If it is not, you would anticipate that Osula will be thrown into the depth, Wilson now potentially leaving St James’ Park on a groan.
