NO TYNE FOR MOANERS!

Trippier not accepting non-stop run of games as excuse for exit

- BY LEE RYDER

KIERAN TRIPPIER has shut down any dressing room moaning about Newcastle United's hectic schedule this season.

After fighting on four fronts, the Magpies’ workload has been relentless, with 48 competitive matches so far. They will see their fixture list reduced after bowing out of the FA Cup, but stand-in captain Trippier, deputising for injury-stricken leader Bruno Guimaraes, has ordered his teammates to make amends by putting on a Champions League show against Barcelona tomorrow night.

After taking a well-deserved lead through Harvey Barnes, Newcastle could not stop the Manchester City onslaught as Omar Marmoush helped himself to two second-half goals after Savinho had prodded home an equaliser.
