Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has admitted there is a focus on results over performance as the Magpies look to secure safety in the Premier League. Howe’s men are by no means the favourites to return to the Championship but are not yet mathematically safe and the 44-year-old has revealed that the time will come when his side can ‘evolve.
Eddie Howe said: “It has put us in a stronger position but I still think we have work to do. The home games are key for us but we want to pick up points wherever we go. I think with the type of game it was it was easy for us to lose shape and discipline and commit too many forward. I think the discipline and responsibility we showed was really good. At this stage of the season, it is about results. We are well aware we need to continue to get points. I think it’s results over performances at the moment. There will be a time when we can evolve.”
