"It's not good. You want to create chances and clear-cut chances. It didn't feel that in our performance,"
"We are going through one of those phases where it's hard to score away from home."
"Joelinton, we have to really protect from injury. He's just back. Bruno is different, but the two who played today did really well."
"We're evolving and changing as an attacking force. Our ability to defend has been at a high level, and we will score goals."
Newcastle failed to create meaningful attacking chances in a goalless draw with Bournemouth, producing just 0.1 expected goals (xG) from four shots. Bournemouth and Newcastle combined for 15 shots and a combined xG of 0.7, the lowest totals in a Premier League game in 2025-26 so far. Newcastle's season xG of 4.6 ranks low compared with most teams. Three of Newcastle's five league games have ended 0-0, the most goalless draws after five matches since Burnley in 2014-15. Defensive solidity has produced four clean sheets, a joint-high after five matches in the club's history, while Joelinton's fitness is a concern.
