It has been disappointing not to have been able to play since I came back to Newcastle.

They're a team who always want to win. Their players are never satisfied.

We have to play with intelligence and try to stop them getting the ball.

Saying this is painful because it is very difficult for me to take this decision but I won't change my mind. I'd love to say something different but I won't.

The directors are to blame for our elimination.

There is nothing in my Newcastle contract about not playing for Peru.

If we get caught out of position and leaving spaces, they're going to make things complicated.
