Kieran Trippier has told his Newcastle United team-mates not to be too downhearted after their 5-0 thrashing at Manchester City. The Magpies now go into a Monday night fixture at home to Arsenal with the Gunners arriving on Tyneside knowing they have to win to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
Beaten 3-0 by Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night, it means for the second game running Eddie Howe's Magpies will face the wounded animal in a Premier League fixture. But Trippier refused to dwell too much on the defeat against Man City.
Trippier said: "It shows what Man City can do to teams. When you come to places like this, you're rarely going to see the ball which is how you keep your shape, how you are as a unit.
