Remy backing Newcastle striker Cisse to end goal drought

Loic Remy is confident Newcastle United team-mate Papiss Cisse will break out of his goal slump. Cisse has netted only once in all competitions this season whilst Remy has plundered six goals in seven games.

The Frenchman told The Journal: "I think Papiss is a very good player. He showed a lot of things when he arrived and he scored a lot of good goals and a lot of important goals, but without the struggle there is no success.

"Sometimes when I was at Marseille I was the same.

"I went a long time without scoring and it is frustrating for a forward to go through those patches, but I think he just needs one goal to start again and find his confidence.

"It's difficult when you are not scoring because you can maybe try too hard, but I know how he feels because I have been in that situation before.

"I'm not worried about Papiss, I think he just needs one goal and he will find his confidence again.

"He needs to get it as soon as possible for the team, but also for himself and then we will see the real Papiss again."
