10 Things We Learned From Newcastle vs Northampton

1. Aarons Failed To Take His Chance

I was expecting more from Rolando Aarons yesterday, the winger seemed to lack confidence on the ball and constantly opted for a backwards pass to Massadio Haidara or Cheick Tiote rather than attempting to take on Northampton's defenders. Aarons played the full 90 minutes which is positive and will hopefully gain some more time against Arsenal on Saturday.
