Martin Dúbravka wants players-only meeting as Newcastle remain winless | OneFootball

Newcastle are under fire after they’ve failed to win any of their first seven league matches, despite playing many of the top teams.

Slovakian international goalkeeper Dúbravka appears as if he’s had enough.

“When we were in the dressing room before the game, we all spoke about how much we wanted to win this game,” said Dúbravka.

“I believe we have enough quality to win games like this, particularly when we’re at home, but we didn’t start well.

“We need to be honest with each other and react differently, because we have an attitude and we have a mentality, but we need to bring it on to the pitch.

“We had spoken a lot about how we react when we concede a goal, but it was almost the same (against Leicester).

“We started the second half well, then conceded a goal, and, after that, didn’t create anything.

“So we need to be honest with each other. I spoke to Jamaal afterward and said we need to arrange a meeting with all the players.

“We need to talk honestly and we need to change something.”

Asked what needed to change, the 29-year-old said, “I don’t know. If I did know, I would be honest and tell all of the guys.

“We need to find it ourselves. We need to analyse everything, but we have to be honest with each other. We didn’t do that until now I think.”

On the proposed players’ meeting, Dubravka said: “Sometimes you have to do that. Sometimes, that can help the players. We have to react differently.

“We’re together. We win together and we lose together. But, as I said, we need to be honest with each other, and if we want to be successful, we need to change something.”
