Well, 3 games into the Kevolution at Newcastle and they are making Allardyce's team look like Brazil.
3 games, no wins, no goals, two shots on target in 270 minutes and out of the only competition they had a chance to win. Usually a new manager inspires the team to at least play a bit better. Look at the effect Gary Megson, the "Ginger Mourinho" had on Bolton.
Unfortunately Keegan has inherited a talented but utterly not bothered bunch of footballers. It looks like no new players will be brought in during the transfer window now either (28 hours 49 minutes until it closes, watch the countdown on Sky Sports News) so this motley crew will have to do.
Arguably Tommy Lee and the boys would be better. Newcastle are 12th, on 27 points. A few more dropped points and they could get dragged into a relegation battle that is more open than it has been in many seasons.
They play Middlesbrough on Sunday. If Boro win they go ahead of Newcastle and Sunderland are only 4 points behind after last nights win over Birmingham.
Keegan allegedly makes players feel either 20 feet tall or 10 feet tall, depending on which of his ex players you listen to.
If he could just make them feel like playing a bit and trying a bit it would do for now.
