Eddie Howe delivers firm 18-word Newcastle United transfer message after agreeing January deal
Eddie Howe admitted Newcastle United ‘deserved to lose’ as Fulham came from behind to win 2-1 at St James’ Park.
Jacob Murphy gave Newcastle the lead from Anthony Gordon’s cross in the first half before second-half strikes from Raul Jimenez and substitute Rodrigo Muniz saw Fulham claim three points and a Premier League double of Newcastle.It’s back-to-back defeats for The Magpies at St James’ Park and Howe admitted there were no excuses for his side’s performance on Saturday after the 4-1 loss to Bournemouth last time out on home turf.
I thought that there was similarities between the Bournemouth game,” Howe said. “Unfortunately for us, and that’s painful for us.
I don’t think we were great athletically again, which is really surprising because we had a really good training week and I really like the look of us going into the game. So I had a really good feeling about how we would perform, but it didn’t materialise into the game.
I thought on the ball, we were wasteful today. I don’t think it was anywhere near our best technical level. You put that together, you know, that’s not the recipe for a great performance.“It certainly wasn’t from us. Yeah, we probably deserved to lose the game.”
