Joe Willock says he never "lost confidence" in himself despite struggling to recapture last season's fine run of form. The Magpies midfielder scored eight goals in 14 appearances while on loan at last season, but had not been able to break his Newcastle duck since making the move a permanent one.
The former Arsenal midfielder finally found the back of the net against West Ham United earlier this month and added another to his tally against Brentford at the weekend. Willock was full of praise for the Magpies boss who has instilled different ways of winning and has worked with the 22-year-old closely.
Willock rounded off an impressive performance from the Magpies against Brentford, with an impressive strike on the brink of half-time. The Newcastle midfielder has come into his own in recent weeks alongside Jonjo Shelvey and Joelinton in the heart of midfield.
