NEWCASTLE: Newcastle United are having to deal with increased expectations this season, according to Eddie Howe, with the head coach admitting the Magpies’ Premier League start has yet to live up to his own high standards.
Howe’s men have lost just one of their opening seven games this season, including six played in the Premier League. However, just one of those six top-flight games ended in victory, with four draws and a late loss to Liverpool completing the set. “I’m not happy with it.
I want more points, I want to win every game,” said Howe when discussing the Magpies’ 2022/23 campaign so far. “There’s always swings and roundabouts, it never always goes for you, but I thought we should have got something from Liverpool.
There’s more points we’ve left out there, but it’s up to us to improve those slight margins. “I’m sure expectations have been raised, although certainly not by me or anyone connected internally.
