Newcastle United faced a humiliating 4-0 loss against Manchester City in the Premier League, highlighting their struggles. Omar Marmoush netted a hat-trick, while James McAtee added a late goal, showcasing Man City's dominance. Particularly concerning was left-back Lewis Hall's performance against Savinho, who consistently outmaneuvered him. Chris Sutton criticized Hall's inability to cope, although he acknowledged Hall's overall strong season. The defeat significantly affects Newcastle's aspirations for the top four, and they must regroup for their upcoming match against Nottingham Forest.
Lewis Hall is absolutely petrified of Savinho, isn't he? That match-up was always going to have a big bearing on this game. Hall just cannot cope.
Newcastle looked clueless from the first minute and Man City capitalised on that, resulting in a convincing 4-0 defeat that gave Man City an edge in the top-four race.
It can be ignored as an off-game for the 20-year-old left-back, but the fact remains he still has a long way to go in his development.
Newcastle United faces another big test in the Premier League next week against Nottingham Forest, who will visit St James' Park.
