"Brainless And Lazy" - Pundits' Views On Newcastle's Loss To Swansea

2. Steve Stone

For any Newcastle supporter who didn't know, former interim head coach John Carver and his assistant Steve Stone were on Sky Sports' Goals On Sunday this weekend. As well as speaking about a whole host of other things, Geordie Stone claimed that "without a shadow of a doubt" Daryl Janmaat was "scared" of Jefferson Montero, and that's one of the reasons he was booked twice against him. Stone said:

"He's (Janmaat's) not the quickest off the mark. "Without a shadow of a doubt (he was scared) of (Jefferson) Montero after seeing him against Chelsea."

Then, after talking about Janmaat's lack of pace off the mark, Stone tore into the Magpies' defence for their lack of bite when letting in Andre Ayew's goal, claiming Newcastle have "had problems from over the years" where central-defenders simply "haven't wanted to head in either box". He continued:

"We'd had problems from over the years where centre-backs haven't wanted to head in either box."
