'Marginally better but an absolute lack of quality' – Liam Kennedy's Newcastle United player ratings
Another toothless show against Burnley saw United booed off the park, but it is another point added to the Magpies’ total.
Collectively it was a poor show from United, but how did they do individually? Liam Kennedy gives his player ratings with Danny Rose and Joelinton having poor days, with Dwight Gayle the pick of the bunch.
5. Javier Manquillo - 8
Brought in from the cold but showed exactly why Steve Bruce opted for him ahead of Emil Krafth. Excellent going forward. Photo: Alex Livesey
6. Jonjo Shelvey - 8
Barely put a foot wrong and performance deserved the goal. In a hit and miss season, this was very much the Shelvey of Bournemouth and not Villa. Photo: Stu Forster
7. Isaac Hayden - 7
Plenty of crunching challenges in a whole-hearted, battling display. Photo: Ian MacNicol
8. Jetro Willems - 8
He may be left-footed but another goal with his right foot - and another cracker against a Champions League side. Photo: Ian MacNicol
