Newcastle United captain Geremi has branded Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool as a "big disgrace".

Geremi told the Evening Chronicle: "We were hurt after the Liverpool game, it was a big blow because of the way we played. We looked unrecognisable against Liverpool - it was a big disgrace.

"Now we must concentrate and everybody is confident we can turn it around at Blackburn.

"The aim is to wipe out the negatives from the Liverpool game."

He added: "We have battlers at the club and we can still get things right.

"I think we have a good squad. It's true we had a bad game against Liverpool, but everybody has to face up to it like a man. It is very important that we keep our fans happy by winning games."
