Newcastle United 0-1 Borussia Mönchengladbach - Player Ratings

8. Moussa Sissoko - 6 (Replaced By Ayoze Perez After 81 Minutes)

It wasn't a classic Moussa Sissoko performance against Borussia, that's for certain. The Frenchman struggled to get into his groove and, although he tried things, it just did not really come off for him against Borussia. A player who loves the game to be broken and end to end so that he can advance with the ball at will, the lack of pace in this pre-season fixture ensured that Sissoko could not make any of his dynamic and athletic runs.

Ayoze Perez - 5.5

Didn't really get any sort of opportunity to make an impact during the nine minutes he was on the pitch. Looks like he could well be a substitute against Southampton rather than a starter.
