William Saliba has urged his teammates to stick together as a big week ahead with big games at home and in Europe.

Our 1-0 defeat against Newcastle United meant our second consecutive defeat in the league, but our French defender believes now is the time to pull together and move forward together to get back up to return to winning ways.

He was part of a defensive line that put in a solid performance against the Magpies, who scored on their only big chance of the game, and that's why he feels it's time to feel sorry for ourselves now that we're here Huge games against Inter Milan and Chelsea are on the horizon.

After the game he said: “We are a bit sad because we wanted to win here today,” he said. “Unfortunately we didn’t do that because I don’t think we played our best game. But we have to stick together and be ready for next week.

“Maybe we deserved a point, but I don't think we deserved to win today. They had a chance and scored. We tried to equalize but I think we have to do better. The game is over and we have to concentrate on what's coming.

“When you lose there isn’t much positive, but it’s okay, we don’t have to be so sad.”
