The head coach was disappointed to lose to a Salomon Rondon goal against Newcastle at the John Smith’s Stadium on Saturday - a fourth successive top-flight defeat which leaves them rooted in the bottom three of the Premier League.
Wagner watched his team dominate possession, but bemoaned a lack of cutting edge.

Wagner added: “It’s frustrating because this was another decent performance the players have shown.
“We dominated possession and were brave on the ball, going in their faces and pressing them high.
“Unfortunately we didn’t have the clear-cut chances compared with the last games, but we kept them away from our goal apart from this one counter-attack where we conceded the goal.
“After that, we were not able to turn it, but everybody knows how difficult it is to break Newcastle down.
“The players really stuck together and left everything on the grass.”
