Foward Lomana Tresor LuaLua admits he was "hurt" when he looked on from the United bench against Wolves and saw some of his team mates were not even trying. The man from D.R. Congo said:

"The manager has to pick his team and it was fair enough that I was only a substitute.

But I feel really hurt when I had to sit and watch certain players walking around the pitch instead of working hard for the team.

I also feel hurt for our supporters having to watch certain players not even playing but just walking around.

People who were at the match and those who saw it on television know who played well and who did not play well.

I want to play for Newcastle and win things with them. But we are out of the Worthington Cup and now out of the FA Cup, so what are we going to win now?"

LuaLua's quotes are purely more evidence of what happened on Sunday. At least it gave Robson a chance to really get into them, which i'm sure he did.
