Nikos Dabizas feels that the current Newcastle United side could prove to be even better than the class of 2002 under Sir Bobby Robson.
The ex-Newcastle star was part of the squad in 2002 and 2003 when the Magpies qualified for the Champions League. Dabizas was in the line-up on the famous night in Rotterdam when Feyenoord were beaten 3-2 and Newcastle made it into the next phase.
But when comparing Eddie Howe's team to that of Sir Bobby Robson 21 years ago, Dabizas can see a much steely defensive rearguard and believes the current side have more balance. United surprised many pundits in 2002 when they finished fourth and Dabizas has reflected on the difference between the two teams.
