One 3/10 and an impressive 8/10 - Player ratings from Bournemouth 1-1 Newcastle

A poor performance featuring a few alarming displays, but Newcastle remain unbeaten two games into the season following a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon. Here's our marks out of 10 and comments on each player:

Pope - 6.5 - A few good stops but he looked very shaky with the ball at his feet. One big save early on with his feet and punched or claimed a couple of crosses.

Livramento - 5 - Made a decent start while we were on top for the first 20 minutes, but switched off for Tavernier's goal. Replaced by Trippier before the hour mark.

Krafth - 6 - Solid defensively but we really missed Schar's quality and composure to pick passes and play out from the back. Let the ball bounce a few times, but did a decent job out of position.

Burn - 6 - Made one vital intervention in the second half to stop out their cut-back. Could've scored at the other end. Steady.

Kelly - 5 - He made a decent start but Bournemouth's man of the match Semenyo got the better of him in the end, often putting him on the back foot and crossing down his side for their goal. Hall offered more on the ball and added some drive when he came on.

Longstaff - 5 - Looked slow and too one-paced going forward. Was also muscled off it too easily a few times. Aside from a few nice one-twos with Bruno, he didn't offer much.

Guimaraes - 7 - Was at the centre of everything in the opening 20 minutes while we were on top, but had a mixed second half, but won most of his duels, drew fouls and was the main man trying to link the play and create as we pushed for that equaliser. Almost scored late with a curling left-footed shot.

Joelinton - 3 - His worst game since he's developed into a midfielder under Howe. Lost the ball so often via a poor pass or loose touch, one of which lead to Bournemouth's first goal. Way off it both on and off the ball and lucky not to see red late on for a high tackle on Neto in stoppage time. From man of the match last weekend to a stinker this Sunday!

Murphy - 5 - Another who wasn't at it today. Superb in pre-season but offered very little here and was taken off before the hour mark as a result.

Isak - 7 - Isolated too often but still managed to wriggle free at times with his long legs and tight dribbling. Created a few chances in each half and gave Senesi a tough time when h managed to square up the Argentine CB. Needed more service but showed moments of class when we got it to him.

Gordon - 5 - Would've been a 4/10 had it not been for his equaliser, which has ultimately got us a point. Good to see him off the mark, but worrying to see how flat he looked. He was the heartbeat of our attack last season, yet here he was sluggish, rarely attempted to take on his man, didn't look up for it and created next to nothing.

SUBS:

Barnes - 8 - Gave us a consistent threat down the left, not only linking the play and doing things quickly but delivering a lovely cross for Gordon's goal. Went close with a shot that flew just wide and created other chances, too. Will surely start at Forest after a game-changing cameo.

Trippier - 7 - Showed his quality on the ball with some nice pick outs and crosses from open play and set pieces. We looked a better team when he was on the pitch.

Hall - 7 - Added some drive and urgency to our play down the left and looked sharp after a sloppy display last weekend.

Willock - 6 - Still finding his best form and match sharpness, but we did look more of a threat down the left after he came on.

Almiron - N/A - On for the final few minutes and barely got a kick.
