Hide AdDan tweeted: “Since the Burnley goal we have played a higher tempo and looked good. Why can’t we play on the front door from the start? We have very good attacking players that need to be unleashed.”
Harry tweeted: “Is this Joelinton’s best game in the PL??? #NUFC”
Michael Greaves added: “Yes ASM and Wilson will deservingly get the headlines but how good has Joelinton been tonight man?! #nufc #NEWBUR”
Joe Smith tweeted: “So is this result down to Bruce's tactics, having ASM back in the team or Burnley really not turning up? #nufc”

Hide AdTom Mason tweeted: “ASM needs more protection from refs. West Ham & now Burnley have kicked him every time he’s got the ball.”
@Kevin_Nichol tweeted: “Part of me also thinks that ASM has to bounce up after some of these tackles to show its it getting to him.
"Look at them and laugh. Bruce can talk all he wants about tactics but our only one is to give the ball to Maxi & he will do the rest. What player he is.”
Barnesy tweeted: “This is the best newcastle have played, wilson sets a great tempo chasing everything. #nufc”
