Newcastle United boss Steve McClaren reveals Peter Beardsley talks

Newcastle United boss Steve McClaren reveals that he has spoken to former striker Peter Beardsley about the team's playing style.

Newcastle United head coach Steve McClaren has revealed that he has spoken to former striker Peter Beardsley about the team's style of play.

Beardsley was part of Kevin Keegan's Newcastle side in the 1990s which was known for its entertaining brand of attacking football and came close to winning the Premier League title.

McClaren has said that speaking to Beardsley has only reaffirmed that the Newcastle supporters want to see their side playing in an attractive manner.

"We speak to Peter Beardsley a lot and they like attacking football here," he told The Chronicle. "I don't think you have to be a rocket scientist or that bright to see some of that football is great football. Look at some of the chances.

"The one against Stoke where Moussa Sissoko nearly scored came from a move started from Rob Elliot all the way through the field to the end, it would have been one hell of a goal.

"And that's what I want to see. I'd like to see the ball in the back of the net, of course. But that's what we want to see to get there."

Newcastle host Leicester City on November 21.
