Souness' Reaction To Liverpool Defeat

Graeme Souness arrived at Anfield today hoping that his Magpies' squad could put an end to a dissapointing run of results, but it was not to be, and the Scot left Liverpool angry with his sides performance. GRAEME SOUNESS:

"We have had words, it wasn't a shouting match and was civilised. Probably a bit too civilised for my liking.

"We made a decent start and took the lead. They cancelled that out with an own goal and a goal that stemmed from a ball straight down the middle of our side.

"That happened again in the second half and you do not often see goals like that scored in the Premiership, straight passes being turned into goals.

"At 3-1 we had a chance to get back into the game when Jermaine Jenas missed a good chance, and then came Lee Bowyer's sending-off. I can't defend that, it was an obvious red card and he let down his team-mates."
