The Magpies Manager Confesses Disappointing Performance
The Tyneside club performed horrible in their previous match versus the Hammers, according to their manager recently stated in his pre-match interview. “We must produce something different. The match with the London club was difficult for the team. Hopefully, we have learnt a lot. At this point we need to start earning results.”
On the winger: “He was not close in the end. The scan showed a minor problem in his hip and it’s a good chance for Harvey Barnes to come in.”
