Graeme Souness has defended Dwight Yorke's angry reaction to being substituted by Andy Cole in yesterdays game against Newcastle. Souness is quoted as saying on various media and web sites that he hasnt any problem with Yorke's reaction. Yorke just wasn't happy at being taken off, which is what Souness want from his players.

"The gist of it was he didn't think he should have been the one to come off. I want that from my players."

With regards to the game itself, Souness is reported to be unhappy with the defending, stating that he thought for 75 minutes we gave them a game but in the last 15 minutes, we had too many people who didn't do their jobs.

"Obviously Newcastle will look at their goals and take the positives out of the game, but there were some goals they scored that any decent defender would have stopped.
