A little over four minutes had passed at St James' Park on Sunday and Liverpool had started encouragingly, keeping the ball well and with urgency in their play.
Ryan Gravenberch created ***** e with a brilliant touch to get past Lewis Miley but instead of shooting from the edge of the box or playing Dominik Szoboszlai through, the Netherlands international lost possession.
Just 11 seconds later, Newcastle were ahead through Anthony Elanga after a devastating counter that required one pass after Amar Dedic's initial clearance.
Liverpool simply had no structure when out of possession. It was schoolboy stuff and a nightmare start for Andoni Iraola.
It was a similar story in the second half when Gravenberch was dispossessed after trying a back heel on the edge of the Newcastle box.
