"I don't think riot acts is the right word. I think when you produce a performance like we did against West Ham, you have to use that as a turning point. You have to be articulate and explain to the players what they have to do better. It's a return to the basic fundamentals of how we play and then hoping we perform at a really high level."
"It feels like we've had a lot of time since [that game]. Whenever you deliver a performance like that, there are a number of factors to reflect on. But the focus very quickly turns to the next game with Europe. We have looked at it hard but now we have to move on. It's never a nice thing but we have digested it and need to make sure the performance is better."
Newcastle lost 3-1 at West Ham after taking an early lead, extending their Premier League away winless run to eight matches. The performance was described as lethargic and will be used as a turning point to return to basic fundamentals and seek higher-level displays. Focus quickly shifts to the upcoming European match against Athletic Bilbao, with preparations prioritizing improvement rather than prolonged reflection. Nick Woltemade and Anthony Gordon were substituted at half-time, with Woltemade showing signs of fatigue after heavy recent involvement. Squad management and player recovery are being considered to benefit both individual players and team performance.
