Taylor, who is currently out of action with injury, took to Twitter to launch a furious attack on McManaman.
"Nothing to do with the scoreline an the fact it was a red but as a footballer it's the definition of a 's**thouse tackle'," Taylor tweeted.
"Wow. Not even a yellow #baffled."
The defeat leaves the Magpies 13th in the Premier League table, six points clear of safety.
