Fantastic! Ki, great delivery in.

The atmosphere here, it's all about Newcastle now keeping a clean sheet now.

What a finish to a game this is going to be.

I think the difference for me this half is that Newcastle are pressing higher, passing faster and they're getting quality balls in the box.

It's night and day from the first half.

The Newcastle fans are getting excited.

That must have been tight.

Again Newcastle fans, you can hear them- it feels like a Newcastle home game now.

Watford have got the pace, power and they can hurt Newcastle on the counter attack in a heartbeat.

It is so important for Newcastle's back four to communicate during those counters.

Watford should be ahead.

Rafa Benitez will need to get the defence high and a bit more quality on the ball.

In the position they're in with the home form they shouldn't be giving away possession. It has got to change.

Newcastle are slack, trying to overplay.

We all want to see football teams get the ball down and play out from the back.

Newcastle need to realise they haven't won a home game and they're playing into Watford's hands here.

Brilliant, the pace they bring is phenomenal.

Deulofeu should be scoring there.

Newcastle again giving away chances and get away with on there.

The marking at the corner was terrible there. I don't know who has let them go.

Mariappa should have scored from there, very lucky from a Newcastle point of view.

They need to get up the pitch and keep possession of the ball.

Newcastle are defending deep and narrowly.

When Newcastle win it back there is a little bit of slackness and now Watford have an opportunity.

It's been pretty poor so far.

This is a massive game for Newcastle.

In this first 20 minutes they need to give the fans something to shout about.

Make them the 12th man. It's all about confidence and getting the first win.

The statistics don't paint an attractive picture for Newcastle - winless in their opening 10 games and with just six points earned from the last 45 available.

In stark contrast, Watford are enjoying their best ever start to a top-flight campaign, have won the last five meetings between these two sides and inflicted the Magpies' heaviest defeat at St James' Park last season.

Now before Newcastle fanatics become too pessimistic, it's worth remembering a phrase made famous by American author Mark Twain, who observed: "There are three types of lies - lies, damn lies, and statistics." The Toon Army will be hoping he was right.
