Jamie Redknapp criticises Newcastle United decision to loan out Dwight Gayle

Former Liverpool midfielder turned popular football pundit Jamie Redknapp has criticised Rafael Benitez for Newcastle United’s disastrous start to the season.

The Magpies lost 1-0 against Brighton at St James’ Park on Saturday in the Premiership. It was their fifth straight home defeat, and seven overall in the season, as they picked up only two points from nine games.

As a result, Newcastle find themselves at the bottom of the Premier League, and Redknapp feels the Magpies players are running out of patience with their manager.

He says that Newcastle players are not bad as their results and performances suggest, but Benitez’s negative tactics is letting the team down.
