End of Season discount soccer shoes , please clickSteve McClaren was very pleased with Newcastle's performance against Chelsea, even though the result wasn't what they wanted Steve McClaren praised the attitude of his Newcastle team after their 2-2 draw with Chelsea at St James' Park. The result means McClaren and Newcastle are still without a league win this season and are currently sitting second from bottom of the table. Having led 2-0 it looked like that winless run was coming to an end, but despite Chelsea's comeback the Newcastle boss was full of praise for his side.In the end the result is a disappointment but the way we played and the way we responded after this week was excellent. "We said to the players: 'End the week well with a performance and show what you can do.' We did that and to a man their attitude was magnificent." The former England manager also dismissed talk of a crisis at the club and believes the return of summer signing Aleksandar Mitrovic from suspension can be a real boost for Newcastle.People tend to overreact. People forget we've missed Mitrovic for three matches," added McClaren. "We didn't have a centre forward because Papiss Cisse was injured and Ivan Toney is still a young boy. You need that target man to play off and we've not really had that. "We've tried to play through but it's not been successful whereas today we had a target. Mitrovic was a constant thorn in the side of Chelsea's back four."
