Newcastle 6-2 Norwich - Match Report & Player Ratings

Head Coach - Steve McClaren - 7/10

4-4-2 worked wonders for McClaren again. Decision to take Tiote off at half time, and Dummett after an hour, proved wise ones. Newcastle played with a freedom that you wouldn't have expected heading into the game considering their league position. The call to have Sissoko and Wijladum constantly switch wings had Norwich bamboozled, although he will still be concerned by certain defensive frailties. Goodness knows what he must have said to Moussa Sissoko before the game - and at half time to make him track back more - but I hope he does it more often.
