4. Goalkeeper Kicking Is A Problem Throughout The Whole Squad
Former Magpies' goalkeeper coach Andy Woodman certainly hasn't left a legacy at the Newcastle United and it seems his work at the cub could have been more problematic then beneficial. All of Newcastle's goalkeepers struggle to kick the ball effectively and Tim Krul, Karl Darlow and Rob Elliot need to improve quickly. As first choice shot-stopper Krul's kicking is his biggest let down and has led to a number of opposition chances so far this season. Hopefully new goalkeeping coach, Simon Smith can make an immediate impact on the side.
