We take a look... Newcastles defeat to Bournemouth - their seventh in their past 10 Premier League games - leaves them stuck in the relegation zone and, although they have a game in hand on the teams around them, a nine point gap to fifth-bottom Swansea means they are effectively in a battle with Norwich, Sunderland and Aston Villa to avoid a drop into the Championship.Newcastles pre-season target was a top eight finish. Instead they are facing relegation. Paul Merson reflects on Newcastles 3-1 home defeat by Bournemouth Following news Newcastle have sacked McClaren in a bid to kick-start their survival bid, we look at five of their problems…Goal scoring Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored just five times this season For a club renowned for their number nines, Newcastle are desperately lacking a goalscorer this season. Only bottom club Aston Villa have scored fewer goals.Newcastles top scorer is Georginio Wijnaldum with nine - but four of those strikes came in one game against Norwich. The clubs main striker Aleksandar Mitrovic - signed last summer for £13m after impressing in Belgium - has managed just five goals in the Premier League and was dropped to the bench against Bournemouth. Premier League teams - goals scored Rank Team Goals scored T1 Leicester, Man City 52 - - - T18 Newcastle, Swansea 28 20 Aston Villa 22 Meanwhile, Ayoze Perez, who has scored six times, has been in and out of the side, with McClaren questioning his consistency, Papiss Cisse is out with injury and Emmanuel Riviere, who has scored just once since his July 2014 arrival, doesnt seem to be the solution.The Newcastle forwards, though, may point to the fact that the team has created just 232 chances this season - the fourth lowest total in the Premier League. Injuries Striker Papiss Cisse is on Newcastles long injury list Every team has injury problems to deal with but Newcastle have been particularly badly hit, with 11 players currently sidelined, according to physioroom.com. Thats the highest total among Premier League clubs.Fabricio Coloccini, Cheick Tiote and new signing Andros Townsend were all missed against Bournemouth, while Newcastle could certainly do with the goalscoring talent of Cisse.First-choice goalkeeper Tim Krul is another long-term absentee, while Gabriel Obertan and Chancel Mbemba are also among the long list of potential first-teamers in the treatment room.New signings failing to perform January signing Henri Saivet has made just two starts Wijnaldum, Mitrovic, Mbemba and Florian Thauvin were expensive signings last summer and the board backed McClaren with finances in January, bringing in Henri Saivet, Jonjo Shelvey and Andros Townsend. However, none have had the desired impact so far.Wijnalldum is perhaps the pick of the summer recruits, showing in flashes what made him an integral part of PSVs Eredivisie title-winning team last season, while Shelvey has contributed three assists since his January arrival from Swansea.

Steve McClaren says the negative chanting from the Newcastle fans was justified The problem for McClaren was that not enough of those big-money signings performed to the standards Newcastle expected on a regular basis.

They couldnt handle it. Only Shelvey and Daryl Janmaat could. The fans were on their backs. They have to get behind them for the next lot of games.I know its frustrating and they pay a lot of money to go and watch their team but for these games they have to stick with them.
