Newcastle United caretaker boss Graeme Jones admits he needs replacing after their home defeat to Chelsea.

The Magpies crumbled in the second half after holding the Blues in the opening 45 minutes but on a day in which they had just 21% possession and managed one measly shot on target, the need for a major movement from the boardroom was there for all to see.

After the 3-0 reverse, Jones reflected: "I think it needs a fresh face.

"I think the fans were incredible today.

"It's not a style of football the fans are accustomed to, we want to attack people, we want to score goals.

"But this is the stage we're in.

"We haven't kept enough clean sheets this season and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out what the need is at the minute.

"I haven't spoken to the owners.

"We'll see what they've got to say tonight or tomorrow."
