Newcastle fans ‘couldn’t believe their eyes’ at shocking pre-match footage

Newcastle fans ‘couldn’t believe their eyes’ at some shocking pre-match footage before their Premier League fixture against Leeds on Tuesday.

Taking place prior to kick off was some shooting drills, as players normally do, and it went viral for all the wrong reasons.

It was another night to forget for Steve Bruce’s side, once again, going on to lose the game 2-1, making it Newcastle’s fifth defeat in a row in the Premier League and it means they have now picked up just two points from the past 27 available to them.

It leaves them seven points above the drop zone, however those below the Magpies have games in hand over them.

After over 450 minutes without a goal, Newcastle finally found the net from open play, Miguel Almiron firing a shot in the 57th minute, however the rest of the night out rather disappointingly again as they continue to struggle to find form.

A huge number of Newcastle fans could only laugh when the likes of Callum Wilson and Jacob Murphy tried to test goalkeeper Karl Darlow between the sticks, only for their effort to go wide.

That’s the warm up done 😂 Howay The Lads!! #nufc pic.twitter.com/3F21Gxop5C

Newcastle fans ‘couldn’t believe their eyes’ at shocking pre-match footage, see the fan reaction below…

@MarkMazzocchi: Wtf are we doing in training man

@_yon_mon: Steve Bruce finished 10th with little Wigan in the Premier League. Every match the players gave everything, they grew in confidence and got results. They did it for themselves, the fans and lastly the manager. Newcastle players on the other hand. Gutless and fucking shite

What the managers said at full time

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce: “We were rocked in the first half with the goal we unfortunately gifted to them. It was tough going in the first half, but we tweaked a few things and I was pleased with the second half. We were a threat, had some glorious chances.

“We gave our best performance in a few months, were unlucky and didn’t deserve to lose. I feel for the players, when you’re up against it you need something to fall for you, but the performance was much better and gave us something to fall back on.

“I saw a little bit at Aston Villa, and certainly saw enough today, if we keep well and stay healthy in certain areas, then we’ll be fine. We’ve had an awful time, there is no disputing that, but I have seen enough to see that we can build a bit of confidence.”

Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa: “We expected a difficult game. On the whole we created more chances than they did throughout the game. There was a 20 minute spell after Jack Harrison’s goal where it was difficult to control the game.

“For us it was a game we needed to win, and it was very difficult, but we managed to do it. It was very important for us to win, the majority of teams go on runs similar to the one we have had, but this was longer and difficult. The quicker you get off one of these runs the better.”
