Newcastle take a 1-0 lead into the half on a 38th-minute goal by Joelinton. The game got off to a sluggish start compared to the mid-week clash at Hibernian.
The lads, however, really grew into the game and had a few good chances to close the half.
Saint-Etienne look a very good side with talented players and played very well. The difference in the French club and Hibs was very noticeable.
Newcastle looked a threat at times and they used their pace to excellent effect however, they need to show a bit more patience at times.
Joelinton made it 2 goals in 2 starts when he was released on a beautiful pass by Fabian Schar.
Golaço de Joelinton!

Jonjo Shelvey also hit the bar from a free-kick just outside the box and it looked the ball was going to cross the line off the ricochet but remained just out.

The two new lads Jetro Willems and Allan Saint-Maximin got a warm welcome when they warmed up and we hope to see them in the second half.

Dont mention it mate, I lost my mum 2 months ago and its left a massive void. Think it’s also given me something extra though and stopped me from having petty disagreements with people.
It’s hard and wont get any easier but my religion makes me feel like shes still close by!! You’ll always have support on here mate if you need to blow off steam

Comment #9What is it going to take for Almiron to score?
Did everything right then blazed it over.
Needs to score one soon or it will chronically effect his confidence.

Comment #19ASM could’ve moved for Muto 5mins ago. Wanted runners in behind but ASM wanted it to feet and only Hayden was making the move he wnated behind to his right. Need one either side.
Then ASM gets the ball at his feet, takes on a man and shoots which was parried wide for a corner.
Thoroughly bossing it.
Shelvey off for Ki and Hayden off Matty Longstaff

Comment #34What a goal, think Matty can step up this season.
Manquillo has impressed again. New signings look decent.
Muto unlucky there. Almiron seems like he’ll never score though.
