Andy Cole believes Steve Bruce can win over Newcastle United fans after the way they played in defeat to Manchester City.

Bruce has let his players off the shackles recently, oping for a more attacking line-up containing Joe Willock and Miguel Almiron in a midfield three, with converted wingers Jacob Murphy and Matt Ritchie at wing-back.

Cole believes that supporters will be much more tolerant of the Magpies boss if he commits to playing a more expansive brand of football from the start of next year.

"Knowing the Newcastle United fans, they want to see attacking football and goals," Cole told Sky Sports.

"For me, Newcastle will concede goals but fans want to see them try to score goals. If he's more prepared to play like this next season, I think the fans will really get behind him."
