Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul is convinced by their quality.

The Toon have just two points from their four games so far this season.

Krul said: “Look at the bench. For me, as a goalkeeper, I thrive on top-quality players in front of me.

“If I see (Fabricio) Coloccini put in a fantastic block, Moussa (Sissoko) and Jack (Colback) tracking back, that gives me a lift.

“We thrive off each other – we did that last week (against Manchester United) and nearly did it this week.

“The manager believes when we get that first win we can have something really special. It's no good talking about it – we've got to show it."
