Thomas Frank spoke to the media at St. James Park on Tuesday evening after our 2-2 draw against Newcastle United in the Premier League.
Here's what he had to say...
Did you expect Cristian Romero to be your striker tonight with two goals?
Thomas Frank praised the mentality and character of the team after we came from behind twice to secure a 2-2 draw against Newcastle United in the Premier League at St. James’ Park on Tuesday night.
