Neville: Newcastle need to be bigger risk takers

Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes that Newcastle United need to take more risks and be more adventurous going forward.


The Magpies suffered their third defeat in last their four games at West Ham United last night and now sit at the bottom of the Premier League table.

"The front three need service and support," Neville said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

"They don't take enough risks or get players in the box. McClaren needs to get them taking more risks but then you have to keep that balance playing away from home.

"They huffed and puffed… but the three central midfield players don't prevent counter attacks or set up goals."
