​Carra: Newcastle look like a Championship team

Newcastle United resemble a Championship football team, according to Jamie Carragher.

The newly-promoted side have failed to score a goal in their first two matches of the season, having fallen to Tottenham and fellow new boys Huddersfield.

"There's a buzz about Huddersfield and almost every team that comes into the Premier League," the Liverpool legend told Sky Sports.

"You can see that from what they've produced in the first two games, getting six points.

"It's in complete contrast to Newcastle. You wouldn't think they've just come up because there's no buzz or energy about them.

"What's happening off the pitch looked it transferred itself onto the pitch on Sunday. Looking at Newcastle, I said in commentary they still look like a Championship team, and they do."
