Why doesn’t anyone believe Eddie Howe?

I’m just asking the question: why doesn’t anyone believe Eddie Howe?

Well, I say “anyone,” but there are believers.

Those of you like me know that Eddie Howe is telling the absolute truth.

I don’t expect anything better from outsiders, from “experts”, whether journalists, pundits, etc.

However, I am disappointed in many Newcastle United fans, who cannot understand or accept the testimony with their own eyes.

Eddie Howe said after the victories against Chelsea and then Arsenal:

“You have to have a very strong mentality and know that results will change if you continue to do the right things. »

This is reality.

What Newcastle United did against Chelsea and Arsenal, they did pretty much the same things in the previous five weeks.

That’s the reality, as Eddie Howe said after these last two games, two wins.

Newcastle United had played well against Man City, Everton, Brighton and Chelsea, but fine margins against them and weren’t taking big chances.

Eddie Howe and his players continued to do the right things and got their reward against Arsenal, as well as against Chelsea in the cup.

You look at those stats AND what we saw with our own eyes and of course Newcastle United deserved to win against Brighton and Everton, as well as earn a point at Chelsea.

The reason(s) why NUFC only got one point and not seven from these three games is simply a result of big moments at both ends of the pitch. Not taking risks and getting punished for some bad moments in defense, especially for what turned out to be Chelsea’s winning goals and Brighton.

I thought Newcastle played well against Chelsea in the cup and against Arsenal in the Premier League BUT they had played well the month before.

Against ArsenalDeclan Rice misses with a free header at the far post, while Alexander Isak scores this fabulous header at the other end from an equally brilliant cross from Gordon.

Against Brighton, Newcastle absolutely dominated the first hour of the game, Isak failed in a one-on-one, Gordon somehow missed with a header from six yards after Isak put in a sublime cross, while that the first time Brighton got out of their own half they scored the only goal of the game in the 35th minute with a superb goal from their point of view, but poor defending from Newcastle as everything went wrong at that moment.

Chelsea in the Premier League and Chelsea in the cup, look at the statistics.

At Stamford Bridge, Newcastle had more of everything against Chelsea in relation to St James’ Park. In the cup match, Newcastle had less possession, shots, shots on target, corners and touches in the opponent’s box than in west London.

Yet they won 2-0 at home and lost 2-1 away.

Chelsea punished United in this Premier League match when NUFC could have defended better at times BUT Chelsea didn’t take their chances at SJP. At the other end, Isak scored (but didn’t take that chance at Chelsea as he rounded the keeper, and saw his header hit James with the keeper beaten) at St James’ Park, then Chelsea gifted us the goal against his camp.

In these last two matches, the good margins and luck are finally there.

Whereas, for example, at Everton it was ridiculous how Newcastle dominated the away team, but in key moments Gordon missed the penalty, missed it in a one-on-one -face, and Bruno saw his effort cleared on the line by a defender who knew little. he.

These things happen.

Newcastle’s performances have been unconvincing in opening matches this season, having had a few decent spells in matches but failing to sustain them throughout.

Since Man City, seven games and the win against AFC Wimbledon aside, I think Newcastle United have played well overall and if we maintain these high levels there is no reason why it shouldn’t be not a very good season.

If luck and fine margins permit.
