(Reuters) - Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez has asked his players to ensure six points in their next six Premier League games to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle. "If my target for the first half of the season is 20 points and we have 14, we have to be sure we use these next six games to get those points," he told reporters. It's important in any team, especially a young team. "We have to stay together, not just as a team but as a club, the fans as well," he said. We are going to have drops like this, so you have to try to stay positive and bounce back."
