00:00 So, it's a morning after the night before when UCL lost 2-1 to Liverpool and even after

00:07 a night's sleep, albeit not a very good night's sleep, I'm still struggling to understand

00:12 how UCL lost that yesterday. A goal up, a man up after Anthony Gordon's opener, Virgil

00:20 van Dijk's red card and somehow UCL found a way to lose that in the closing 10 minutes.

00:27 Darwin Nunez, second half, substitute, two goals inside that final 10 minutes as I say.

00:36 St James' Park was stunned and sitting here now I'm still quite stunned to work out how

00:42 St Newcastle lost that game and now are against 10 men. They did have the odd opportunities

00:48 to get that second, Mila Aron hit the post, hit the bar, missed a set-off from close range

00:54 as well. There was a crucial moment in that second half when Harley Barnes came on for

00:58 Anthony Gordon, had the opportunity to square it to Callum Wilson in the middle, didn't

01:03 make it that pass and of course we all know what happened, Liverpool went on to not only

01:08 get a draw or to equalise but to win as well. I think that's where the game was lost, my

01:14 analysis of the game, I think it was lost by the substitutes. Liverpool went on Nunez,

01:20 Nunez coming on scoring two goals, Thiago Jota, Harvey Elliott injecting on a pace in

01:25 that midfield whereas Newcastle had the opposite effect. Harvey Barnes coming on for Anthony

01:33 Gordon, Anthony Gordon ran Trent, Alexander-Arnold ragged, got him on a yellow card early doors

01:40 and always got at Trent Alexander-Arnold. When Harvey Barnes came on he didn't get on

01:47 him enough and it was quite a comfortable end of the evening for Trent which isn't good

01:53 enough so I thought Harvey Barnes' impact was really disappointing. Sandro Tonali, really

02:00 strong in that midfield alongside Joe Linton as well but when them two players came off

02:04 showing long staff coming on, it impacted Bruno because Bruno was exposed so losing

02:13 and to not only that, but it was a big blow and as I say I think that's why the game was won and lost.
