Chelsea 3-1 Newcastle United: 5 Talking Points

#2 What next for Rafa Benitez?

Newcastle United v Watford - Premier League — Times up?

Newcastle United might be sitting in the 12th place in the Premier League right now but their manager, Rafa Benitez is clearly not in an easy position. The Magpies have not won a game since their 1-0 win vs Crystal Palace on October 21st.

Newcastle have picked up just 3 points from the last 9 Premier League matches – all three coming from draws. The fans are frustrated with the tactics and performances and are desperate for a change.

The off-field issues of takeover and more have only made things worse. If the takeover does not take place in time, the Magpies will not be able to invest in the January transfer window and will be involved in the relegation battle soon.

Going to be very interesting to see what happens first: Rafa's sacking or Newcastle's takeover!
