"We chased the game well in the second half and we were in it right until the end with Harvey [Barnes] shot right until the end. We were chasing the game against a very good team. We did that to a man excellently all game. The end product, the last cross, the last finish was not quite there. There were several occasions where we should have done better."
""We're disappointed with the two goals we conceded," Howe told TNT Sports. "We chased the game well in the second half and we were in it right until the end with Harvey [Barnes] shot right until the end. "We were chasing the game against a very good team. We did that to a man excellently all game. "The end product, the last cross, the last finish was not quite there. There were several occasions where we should have done better. "We've returned to a good way of playing, our way of playing. We have done that over the last four games and as long as we get that consistently, I'll be happy.""
Newcastle United lost 2-1 to Manchester City at the Etihad, with Nico O'Reilly scoring twice and Lewis Hall pulling one back for Newcastle. Dan Burn had a header ruled out for offside. Hall's equaliser was Newcastle's first Premier League goal at the Etihad in 2,730 days, ending a long scoring drought at that venue. The defeat was Newcastle's seventh away Premier League loss this season (W3 D4) and ended a three-game winning run. The squad had travelled from a 6-1 Champions League win in Azerbaijan. The manager expressed disappointment at the two conceded goals while praising the team's effort and return to their way of playing.
