Pundits and players react to Newcastle’s defeat to Watford
Kevin Mbabu
Kevin Mbabu started the game against Watford, playing in the midfield of a 3-5-2 formation.
It was his first start since the Manchester City game, and it caps his return from injury.
However, Mbabu was substituted for Florain Thauvin as head coach Steve McClaren chased the game.
“Glad to be back playing with the first team, but gutted about the result,” he said after the fixture.
