Yesterday's defeat against Nottingham Forest was the third loss in a row for the Magpies, however Benitez still remains defiant.
"In this case, we lost this one. It was a game that we were expecting to win - we didn't do it and we have to be ready for the next one. I have said that this team will improve and I am convinced that we will do it", the Spaniard said.
Newcastle started the game against Nottingham very promisingly, as Aleksander Mitrovic gave his side the lead, but Nottingham's Jason Cummings' double and Rolando Aarons brought the Championship side their victory.
