"I don't pick the team based on transfer fees. I have to pick the team based on what I see. I thought Will Osula was training well and deserved to start."
"Those numbers [25 points lost from winning positions] are incredible. It's a significant concern for us, especially with the number of late goals we've conceded."
Eddie Howe backed the decision to start William Osula over Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa in a match against Crystal Palace. Newcastle initially led through Osula but lost after conceding two late goals. Osula has scored in two of his last three appearances, contrasting with his earlier struggles. Despite the high transfer fees for Woltemade and Wissa, Howe prioritized current performance over cost. Newcastle has dropped 25 points from winning positions this season, highlighting late defensive issues.
