How dare anybody use the £90million spent in January to diminish the achievements of Eddie Howe this season. It is easy to forget the scale of the task at hand for the former Bournemouth man when he waltzed through the door last November.
Eddie Howe's Newcastle suffered a bruising 5-0 defeat to Manchester City as Pep Guardiola's side bounced back from their Champions League defeat to Real Madrid. Newcastle had the first real chance of the game, when Chris Wood met Allan Saint-Maximin's cross but could only head straight at Ederson in the City goal.
Pep Guardiola’s upbeat message urging Newcastle United fans to stay positive following a 4-0 shellacking in December has proven true. Five months ago, the relegation picture looked bleak on Tyneside as Manchester City’s star-studded champions toyed with the Magpies throughout an emphatic victory.
Newcastle United could benefit from strengthening their wide options as Miguel Almiron only has one goal and zero assists this season while Jacob Murphy has contributed three goals all campaign, so it’s no surprise to see them linked with Wilfried Zaha.
Newcastle United are 12th in the Premier League for shots (11.9 per game) and 16th in the league for expected goals, so the Magpies aren’t creating enough clear cut opportunities.
Newcastle United are 13th in the Premier League for goals (40) and have only squeezed out nine goals from Allan Saint-Maximin (5), Ryan Fraser (2), Jacob Murphy (1) and Miguel Almiron (1) this season, so Eddie Howe could do with one or two new faces.
NEWCASTLE: Kieran Trippier finally looks set for his long-awaited Newcastle United return against Manchester City. The Magpies travel to Premier League title-challengers City looking to keep their own hopes of a top 10 Premier League finish alive — and they are likely to have England international defender Trippier, himself a Man City academy graduate, fit for Sunday’s encounter. Trippier, a high-profile January addition from Atletico Madrid, has not kicked a ball since he proved the match-winner in the Magpies’ 1-0 win over Aston Villa in February.
NEWCASTLE: A solitary Naby Keita goal was enough to send Liverpool back to the top of the Premier League and inflict Newcastle United’s first home defeat of 2022.
