Crystal Palace 2-1 Newcastle: What Ramsdale said
TL;DR
Newcastle goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale expressed disappointment after a 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace, highlighting the team's struggle to maintain leads. He emphasized the need for solutions to secure victories and remain in contention for European football qualification.
Newcastle goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has been speaking to Sky Sports following the defeat at Selhurst Park: "It's probably the story of our season - getting into winning positions and not being able to hold on. I can't really put my finger on it, but we are working hard to come up with something. We could've gone two or three goals up on another day. It wasn't to be."
On whether Crystal Palace bringing on Jean-Philippe Mateta changed the game: "I don't know if that changed the whole structure of the game. We were still in control, passing the ball around, and creating chances. It's hard to say what actually happened straight off the back of it. It's a really disappointing afternoon after a good 85 minutes."
On the club's hopes of European football qualification: "I'm not too sure if it's over. We want to win every single game and we are ready to fight in every single game, but we slipped up again. So we need to find some solutions to keeping hold of a lead in matches and taking three points."
