Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka has claimed that all the players in the squad are still high in confidence despite their poor start to the season, according to a report on the official club website.
The Magpies have only picked up one point from four Premier League matches and have also been dumped out of the Carabao Cup.
Rafa Benitez and his team have been criticised heavily for their defensive tactics so far this season but Dubravka believes they have enough quality in the squad to turn their fortunes around.
When speaking about their current situation, the shot-stopper said:
I don’t agree if anyone says we are not in a good shape. We’ve played against very tough opponents and in all of the games, they were very close and we’ve missed a little bit of luck, especially against Tottenham.
We could easily have taken a draw against Chelsea and unfortunately, we didn’t win against Cardiff, but we created chances and stood compact, and if we play like we did against Manchester City – especially in the second half – we can be successful.
It was a tough game but it showed that we have brilliant players ourselves and we have confidence for the next games.
The goalkeeper was impressive during his spell at St James’ Park last season and made his move permanent over the summer. The Magpies will host Arsenal after the international break and will be looking to secure their first win of the season.
