Eddie Howe reflecting on the performance of substitutes after Newcastle United’s 2-0 loss to West Ham
Eddie Howe said “Definitely, and that is unlike us because our substitutes usually make a positive impact on the group. That wasn’t the case today. I really didn’t like us in the last half an hour. That leaves us with a negative feeling because the majority of the early exchanges and the first 60 minutes was very good. Of course, the players who enter the pitch to justify playing in the next game, we didn’t do that well enough today.”
Eddie Howe discussing his satisfaction with the first 60 minutes despite losing and expressing his regret about missed opportunities
Eddie Howe said “I’m pretty pleased with the first 60 minutes albeit we’re losing the game 2-0. We opened them up and had chances to score. Up to that point I was pretty pleased but the last 30 minutes I didn’t enjoy. We tried a bit too hard to score. We’ll rue that when we watch the game back. For both goals we know we made individual mistakes. It was disappointing from our perspective. Very uncharacteristic from us because we’ve defended well in recent weeks. At the end we had players out of position, so I didn’t like the way we looked at the end. But up until that 60 minute mark I thought we were the dominant team.”
Eddie Howe on officiating decisions including a disallowed goal and a non-penalty call
Eddie Howe said “For Callum’s [non]-penalty I thought it was a tight call and I’d need to see it again. The offside goal looked tight, I thought it would be a longer review and hopefully drop in our favour.”
