Newcastle United boss John Carver admits Emmanuel Riviere is struggling for confidence.

Its 15 Premier League games without opening his account for Newcastle.

After defeat to Manchester United, Carver said: "Sometimes with Manu, the problem is because he hasn't scored for so long, he is trying to be too sure instead of just putting his foot through it from that distance.

"But there are a lot of positives I can take from tonight. Let's not forget all those guys who were out there - and I include the substitutes in that - gave everything."
