Ruben Amorim saw his Man Utd side confined to their 14th defeat of the season and falling ever closer to 17th in the Premier League, one spot just below the drop zone.
United will NOT even reach their lowest-ever total of 58 points in a Premier League season which came in 21/22 as we sit on 38 with just 6 matches remaining. The maximum we can achieve is 54 should we win all of our remaining matches which come against Wolves, Bournemouth, Brentford, West Ham, Chelsea and Aston Villa to end off what will be our worst season in PL history ever. Factually.
We're honestly lucky there are three shitter teams than us.
Other than all of these unwanted records being broken though, there was a moment in the game that highlighted precisely what these team is lacking in terms of that experience and leadership.
Young Harry Amass made his first league start which turned out to be an unmemorable one due to the resounding loss yet a big step in his career all the same.
The moment in question came in the first half when Newcastle had a corner.
6ft 3, 33 year old Fabian Schar was being marked by 6ft, 18 year old Amass who was playing his first-ever Premier League game but more than that, the Newcastle defender looked to be pushing and almost bullying United's young debutant ahead of that corner.
There was even an instance when the pair went down before the referee called a halt to proceedings to address the matter. Despite this talking to, the duo continued their kerfuffle. Schar the bigger and stronger of the two kept pushing young Amass to a point where he was pushed to the ground.
And NONE of his United teammates stood up for him. NONE.
This is where that lack of leadership comes in. Clearly the Newcastle defender was trying to assert his dominance over the young man and thought that being physical was the way to do it. He pushes Amass to the ground and no United player went up to help their young teammate.
In the past, the likes of Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Eric Cantona and so on would be right there to back their teammate and put the opponent on their arse too.
"You go after him, you go after all of us" as Roy Keane famously said when an opponent went in on David Beckham.
That is the mentality and fight that is nowhere to be seen with this current crop of players. They don't seem to know how to stand up for their teammates and back them up, especially the young ones.
In the end, it was Yoro - a youngster himself at just 19 - who stood up for Amass as he pushed Schar to the ground. The referee rewarded Yoro with a yellow for his antics.
To have a young player stand up for another despite their being several older and experienced players on the field tells you everything you need to know about how weak this current group of players are. It sums them up perfectly and why we get these angry and frustrated comments from everyone specifically the ex-players as they know what this type of thing is like.
On top of players who aren't good enough, are too old, and just don't have what it takes to be a United player, they also seem to not have the mentality to think to back their teammate/s up whenever necessary.
This also gives the club another perspective into why those more expeirenced guys need to be brought in. Thye don't allow this sort of thing to happen.
