"Not sure on the word bleak, but that is the world we live in with the highs and lows. Positive and negative. I can't look at things that way. We've got a cup tie with City, which is a great game. One of the standout ties. We have to be positive from the Manchester United game, let's use that to attack this game and get into the next round."
"The crowd react to us. It is our duty to set the tone, and we did that against Manchester United - positive in our outlook and energetic - they helped us get us over the line. We need a ferocious St. James' Park."
Newcastle United defeated Manchester United 2-1 at home, ending a three-game losing streak with a dramatic late goal from William Osula. The victory came despite playing with ten men after Jacob Ramsey's first-half red card. Manager Eddie Howe faces Manchester City in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday at St James' Park. Newcastle have met City four times this season with mixed results, including a home victory in November. Howe stresses the importance of carrying positive momentum from the United win into the City tie, while downplaying suggestions that FA Cup elimination would define their season negatively. He emphasizes the need for an energetic home atmosphere to support the team's efforts.
