How Newcastle's 'bullies' became too nice
"Newcastle have had far more memorable results under Eddie Howe against the Premier League title challengers. But this particular stalemate was viewed as a significant step forward internally, after dogged Newcastle refused to roll over."
"Just a few days later, the Newcastle head coach declared: 'We're not here to be popular and get other teams to like us - we're here to compete.'"
"However, fragile Newcastle have conceded the most goals after the 75-minute mark (19) in the Premier League for a reason."
Newcastle United's performance has deteriorated, resulting in a 14th place standing and scrutiny on manager Eddie Howe. Despite earlier successes, including a win against Manchester United, the team has struggled with consistency. Recent losses, particularly a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth, highlight their fragility, especially in the final minutes of matches. Newcastle has conceded the most goals after the 75-minute mark in the Premier League, indicating defensive weaknesses. Howe acknowledges the need for improvement as the team prepares for a crucial match against Arsenal.
