No surprise then that after Crystal Palace were lucky to lose by ‘only’ four at St James’ Park, Roy Hodgson blindingly honest and telling it how it is / was.“There is nothing I want to say to take away from the Newcastle performance.“To come here and lose, I can accept that, but to come here and lose so comprehensively is hard to accept.“I can’t say they didn’t deserve to be 3-0 up at half time because they created a lot of chances and deserved to be ahead.
“We made uncharacteristic mistakes, defenders and midfielders making mistakes they hadn’t been making. “At half-time, one of our coaches said this was our first under par performance in eight games, maybe on Monday I will have a philosophical view about it, but at the moment it is hard to take. “We have to be very honest with ourselves and work out why this happened and make sure we are not in another similar position.
