Magpies need ‘blind faith and belief’
With just two points from their first six Premier League games and pressure mounting from the stands, Newcastle United manager Steve McClaren has called on the fans to show “blind faith and belief” that the club will turn it around.
Newcastle are one of three teams still searching for their first league win of the season and have only local rivals Sunderland below them. The Magpies host Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup on Wednesday before facing tough games against champions Chelsea and Manchester City in the league.
McClaren, who has described the club’s start to the season as a “bit like a car crash”, said he understood fans’ frustrations but called on them to be patient.
“A bit of blind faith and belief that eventually we will get it right, turn it around, and start performing and winning games. Yes, we will eventually do that,” McClaren told reporters.
