Newcastle sit 19th in the Premier League table after they lost 5-0 to Leicester on Sunday.
Jamie Vardy scored twice, with a Paul Dummett own goal and strikes from Wilfred Ndidi and Ricardo Pereira rounding off the scoring.
It was the first time Newcastle failed to make a shot on target since December 2018 against Fulham.

Well…
Twitter: @BBCMOTD You could put a Sunday league side out against any team in the world and you’d expect at least one attempt on target. (@RichKimble3)
READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT
Newcastle rarely threatened going forward and were easily dealt with by Leicester’s midfield and defence throughout the game. Jonny Evans and Caglar Soyuncu marshalled Joelinton and did not allow him any time to bring the ball down and get other into play.
Miguel Almiron showed a few signs of promise on the break, but his final product was poor and he was often brushed off the ball far too easily – not for the first time this season. Whilst the blame ultimately lies at the feet of the manager, the forwards will have to start taking responsibility for their own performances.
