Eddie Howe Praises Newcastle Players for Maintaining Momentum

Read

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United face a tough run-in with key matches against Manchester United, Crystal Palace, and Aston Villa. Find out what's at stake.



Newcastle United's triumphant win in the domestic cup could have distracted the team from their pursuit of Champions League qualification, but they have remained focused. Successive Premier League wins, including a 3-0 thrashing at Leicester City on Monday, have kept them on track for a return to Europe's top competition. Two early goals by Jacob Murphy and another from Harvey Barnes before half-time made it a comfortable night for Newcastle, who moved above Manchester City into fifth place.


“We was a worry when we won the cup that we'd drop. Just a subconscious feeling that you've achieved a massive high and there's a fall from that,” Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said, praising his players for staying focused and maintaining their momentum. The team's 3-0 win at Leicester City has seen them level with fourth-placed Chelsea on 53 points, with a game in hand. Howe's praise for his players highlights their determination and commitment to achieving their goals, despite the potential distractions following their historic cup win.




Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe praised his team's ability to bounce back from their domestic cup win, saying, “The challenge for the group was 'Can you go again?' And they've done that well.” A top-four finish in the Premier League would mean a great deal to the team, but Howe emphasized the importance of staying focused on the task at hand. “It will mean a great deal to us. It's difficult to think too far ahead and think of the implications. We need to do our job and that is to win games.”


Newcastle's upcoming fixtures are set to be a crucial test of their ambitions, with home games against Manchester United and Crystal Palace, followed by a trip to Aston Villa. Howe acknowledged the difficulty of the challenges ahead, saying, “We're playing with confidence but we're going to need it because the next three games are tough. It's going to hot up. The next week for us is a big week. We have three really tough games and that will go a long way in seeing where we are at the end of the season.” The team's confidence will be put to the test as they face a demanding schedule that will likely determine their final league position.


Murphy summed up the buoyant mood at the club.


“It's been unbelievable. The bus tour was out of this world, such a great day. You can see why the greats get addicted to winning trophies, the feeling it gives you,” he said.


“Now we're back training, you want that again next season. We want to keep striving for better and taste it again.”
