Rafa Wants Five Goals

Last updated : 03 April 2017 By Footy Mad - Editor

Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez: "I would like to score five goals and be amazing, but at the moment we showed character, good reaction and personality to manage the situation.

"We can improve on a lot of things, but we do a lot of things well. But when you see Huddersfield losing or Brighton winning 1-0 it shows it is not easy.

"We need a little more composure on the ball in the final third and then we will score more than we need. We are so close so we have to do well and not suffer."

Wigan interim manager Graham Barrow: "I'm disappointed with the result. At 1-1 I thought we were in with a chance. They got the rub of the green on the second goal. But if we can play like that we have got a chance (of staying up).

"Newcastle brought players off the bench, had great pace in the side, but at 1-1 I thought we could win it.

"We got in good situations and we have to try to perform like that against Ipswich and Rotherham next Saturday."

This book is a collection of the 100 Greatest Newcastle United players of all time, as voted for by NewcastleUtd-Mad.co.uk readers and a panel of journalists who contribute to the website.

The players are in an order of five-per-chapter, counting down from 100 to Newcastle United's greatest ever player (as viewed by the author), but the whole point of the book is for You (the reader) to decide who goes where.

The list is not, by any means, definitive. As with all books of this nature, whether it be "Greatest Albums"; "Best Movies Of All Time"; or "Top 100 Pin-Ups Of The Year" . . . no two people have exactly the same opinion.

There will be controversy over who is on the list, and chances are, more controversy over who is not.

Here are the best of the best. I have painted the picture with each player's profile. Where they end up in the league of Nufc's Greatest is up to you.

Because You have the final word.
