"There's a harsh reality for me. I need to think long and hard about me. "I need to work better and do more, work out solutions. "I need to take full responsibility for what you see on the pitch. "I always feel under pressure, so it's irrelevant to me. The pressure I put on myself couldn't be more extreme. I'm obviously not doing my job well enough."
""It is a massive disappointment," Howe said. "It is damaging. It is damaging for our psychology, but there is only one way to solve that, and it is to dig out a win from somewhere. "A strange game because, at 2-2, you think you're going to go on and win it. The game got away from us with a really poor third goal. We need to do it in control, and we weren't in control of the transition well enough."
Eddie Howe accepts responsibility for Newcastle United's performance after the 3-2 St James' Park defeat to Brentford. Sven Botman opened the scoring, Brentford took the lead before half-time, and Bruno Guimaraes levelled with a penalty. Dango Ouattara's 85th-minute counterattack on his 100th Premier League appearance secured the win. Newcastle have dropped 19 points from winning positions this season, the most in the Premier League. The team lost three games in a difficult week and faced jeers from home fans. Howe called for better solutions, improved control of transitions, greater conviction to close out leads, and an urgent response via a win.
