Sky Sports pundit and former Arsenal star Paul Merson has slammed Newcastle United following their most recent defeat to Watford, claiming Rafael Benitez’s side are ‘all over the place’.
The Spaniard’s men found themselves on their end of their fourth top flight defeat in a row at St James’ Park at the end, with goals from Watford’s Will Hughes and Andre Gray either side of an unfortunate DeAndre Yedlin own goal sealing a 3-0 win for the visitors.
After a good start to the season, Merson says he is disappointed with the Magpies recent form and suggests they could make it five losses in a row this weekend at the Hawthorns tomorrow night when they take on West Brom.
“I am going to go for West Brom to win this as Newcastle were all over the shop against Watford.” said Merson on Sky Sports.
“Welcome to the Premier League now, four defeats on the trot.
“I am not exaggerating, Watford could have won 8-0!
“Newcastle are all over the place and I am going to go 2-0 to West Brom.”
