Taylor is getting frustrated with Newcastle's style of play

Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor insists the team need to start taking risks in order to stave off the threat of relegation.

Saturday's 1-1 draw away at Hull leaves the Magpies in 16th place and they are only out of the Premier League relegation places on goal difference.

Taylor told BBC Radio Newcastle: "With nine games to go you've got to take the game to the opposition.

"Sometimes you've got to take risks, it's a difficult situation we're in."

Taylor added: "I think the whole season has been a rollercoaster season, but we always seem to come away, sit back and wait for something to happen.

"Once Hull scored the goal, that's what happened - it shouldn't happen like that, it's up to us to change it.

"I'm sick of 'if only this, if only that', we've got to start producing."
