Gary Neville defends Newcastle United head coach Steve Bruce

Newcastle United suffered their ninth defeat of the 2020-21 Premier League campaign at Arsenal last night, succumbing to a 3-0 loss despite ending the first-half goalless.

The Magpies are without a win in nine games across all competitions and are just three places and seven points above the relegation zone.

While not many Newcastle fans would have expected victory against Arsenal, a lot of them aren’t happy with head coach Steve Bruce’s style of football and are still angry with the League Cup defeat to Brentford and last week’s league loss at the hands of 20th-placed Sheffield United.
