Have put the sausages in the oven, so no matter what the outcome, I've got something to look forward to in 45 minutes.

[Luke Edwards @LukeEdwardsTele]

Another woeful second half performance from Newcastle United and another derby defeat. The fallout from this will not be pretty or pleasant. Big questions will be asked and it’s a long wait for another game to put it right.
Sunderland did a number on them. You do not brush that off #nufc

NUFC lose. Isak & Liverpool win. Simple as that.

Newcastle had little choice, in reality, but to do a deal, as it became an untenable situation. A bad smell that would have lingered all season. The money is good, as a trade off - not game-changing, due to sell on % and other factors - but good. The timing poor.

While choice was forced from them in selling, they definitely DO have a choice about signing a striker today. And must. That has to be a non-negotiable.

If they don't - and varying levels of responsibility and decision-making for this filters from the top right down to Eddie Howe - they're letting the current crop of players down.

Their incoming business, while very expensive, has looked positive so far, none more so than the capture of Nick Woltemade to clearly fill Isak's void.

However, expecting a young lad, with only a true half season of top level, regular experience under his belt, no PL appearances, fresh through the door, to carry the scoring and creative burden of the whole XI across three competitions, all the way to at least January, is irresponsible. In fact, it's lunacy.

Isak is gone. It had to happen. And while his talents are a loss, it won't be mourned as it may once have been.

The real challenge now is ensuring Woltemade is not forced to play midweek, weekend, week after week - which happened to Isak at times - from now to the winter. NUFC cannot continue the season with one striker - another has to be signed. The clock is ticking. And it feels definitive.

The Premier League season kicks off two weeks tomorrow.

Newcastle have six goalkeepers, five midfielders and only one striker who wants to play for the club.

How on earth did that happen?! #NUFC

Newcastle have officially ended their interest in goalkeeper Peter Shilton , unfortunately despite decades of talks , we just couldn’t get a deal over the line.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

No surprise that Tino Livramento involved in England’s goal. Best player on the park. Got down left again, took Hutchinson’s pass, cross palmed to McAtee back to Elliott 1-0 (h-t). Livramento constantly involved first half, athletic, anticipates, defends well, bombs forward, passing or cutting in.

Versatile right-back shining at left-back - as he did ably for Eddie Howe #NUFC last season. 8 different players filled #ENG seniors l-b position in past year: Lewis-Skelly, James, Hall, Lewis, Trent, Colwill, Shaw, Trippier. Livramento been on bench 7 times for seniors, came on once, at right-back. His quality and versatility surely an attraction for Tuchel at World Cup. #U21EURO #CZEENG
