Former Newcastle United defender Ryan Taylor is confident that Rafael Benitez can guide the Magpies to a top half finish this season.
United have made a very positive start to their Premier League campaign so far and former Magpie Taylor believes that Benitez will be able to help the Tyneside based outfit finish in the top ten during the current campaign.
"When you look at the club as a whole, they've got everything. They just need to believe in themselves a little bit more," Taylor told NUFCTV.
"Okay, it wasn't a great transfer window but the squad is good enough to compete in the Premier League, as we've already seen. And if they can stay in the top half this season, and keep Rafa, I'm sure they can only push on from there.
"Hopefully they get a few more signings next season and push the club on even further. As a Newcastle fan and ex-player, that's what you want to see."
