Newsround with Dave Davis returns after Liverpool's dramatic 2-2 draw at St James' Park — a result that leaves considerably more questions than answers.
Dave breaks down a worrying Liverpool performance, with Newcastle exposing major issues in midfield and transition despite the Reds dominating possession and creating the greater volume of chances. With Liverpool repeatedly vulnerable on the counter, Dave examines the lack of defensive discipline, the debate around signing a genuine defensive midfielder and why the final eight days of the transfer window could now prove crucial.
There were positives, however. Jeremy Jacquet, Carney, Ronald Araujo and Victor Muñoz all impressed on their Premier League debuts, while Cody Gakpo continued his encouraging form. Dave assesses the new arrivals, the struggles of Liverpool's full-backs and midfield, and what Andoni Iraola and Richard Hughes must address before the window shuts.
