EXPERT ANALYSIS: EDDIE HOWE IDENTIFIES "CONFIDENCE" AS THE KEY TO FIXING NEWCASTLE’S AWAY FORM
Despite a nervy second half, Eddie Howe’s side clinched their second away win of the season. Read the full Turf Moor match report.
Eddie Howe’s team barely scraped by Burnley, grabbing only their second Premier League away win this season.
The Magpies jumped ahead quickly with a goal from Joelinton at Turf Moor. Soon after, Yoane Wissa, in his debut Premier League start for the club, made it 2-0. Josh Laurent then scored an awesome volley, cutting the lead in half. Newcastle clung to their lead until Bruno Guimaraes scored a third goal during stoppage time.
It wasn't a pretty game for Newcastle United on that cold night in Lancashire. They needed those three points, especially after that tough loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Friday.
This win nudged Howe’s team into the top half of the Premier League, with Crystal Palace and Leeds United up next. But, let's be real, their play didn't exactly inspire confidence that they've turned things around away from home.
Eddie Howe shared his thoughts on Newcastle United’s win over Burnley. What’s the answer to their away game struggles? Howe thinks it boils down to ‘confidence.’
“I think we've been close before. I feel we're headed in the right direction when you look at how we’re playing, Howe said as he talked about his team’s showing.
“If you keep playing well, you’ll win. Manchester United is a good example. I don’t think we played badly, and we had chances to get more from the game. We didn't score, but we played well overall.
“I think we will win games because of the kind of play that we have, and that’s what happened. We're not feeling super confident right now, which is clear.
“But, I think it’s mostly a confidence thing. And the only way to fix that is to win the next game.”
Howe said this: “It was a huge win for us. I don't think it matters how we got it. We just needed to get it.
“We started really strong, knowing how crucial this game was. I can’t say enough about how the players fought through it.
“That second half was significant for us. We had to make it.
“I give the players credit for finishing the game and showing the team's character.”
Newcastle United now has a few days to chill after the win at Turf Moor before heading back to Tyneside for four home games in a row. First up is Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday. After that, they’re up against Daniel Farke’s Leeds United at St. James’ Park on Wednesday, January 7.
Then, they’ve got two cup games against Premier League teams. They’re hosting Bournemouth in the FA Cup and then playing the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester City.
TACTICAL SHIFT: HOW EDDIE HOWE UNLOCKED SANDRO TONALI’S GOALSCORING INSTINCTS AGAINST VILLA
Sandro Tonali's brace sends Newcastle into the FA Cup fifth round: Read the full Villa Park report and Bruno Guimarães injury news.
Sandro Tonali showed up when Newcastle United needed him most, sending Aston Villa crashing out of the FA Cup.
With Bruno Guimaraes sidelined, everyone wondered who’d step up. Tonali didn’t just fill the gap; he owned it. News broke late the night before that Guimaraes would be out for ten weeks, and you could almost hear the groans from Newcastle fans. They haven’t won a single Premier League match without him this season. It felt like the season might be slipping away.
Newcastle supporters, already battered by years of bad luck and a never-ending injury list, braced for the worst. How would they survive without their midfield heartbeat? But when the pressure was on, Tonali took charge. He smashed in two long-range goals, turning Valentine’s Day into a celebration for the travelling Toon Army.
People have talked plenty about Tonali lately: whispers about his form, transfer rumours, what his agent might be up to, and even frustration after that loss to Manchester City. All of that faded away in 90 minutes. With two clinical strikes, he reminded everyone exactly where his loyalties lie. Sure, there’ll be more rumours before the summer, but right now, Newcastle have a midfielder who can fill the Guimaraes-sized hole.
Thanks to Tonali, everyone talked about Newcastle’s football after the match, not the referee’s blunders. Chris Kavanagh handed out dodgy cards and missed a few big calls, but Newcastle’s win made all that easier to swallow. If they’d lost, you can bet Eddie Howe would’ve had a few words.
But they didn’t lose, and Tonali ended up the hero, sending Newcastle into the FA Cup fifth round. Howe summed it up: “The only way Sandro can answer questions about his form is out on the pitch, and he did exactly that today. We needed players to step up with Bruno out, and all three midfielders did just that. Sandro got two, and Nick grabbed one; our midfielder made a huge difference. We're going to need that until Bruno’s back.”
Speaking of Nick Woltemade, he finally broke his goal drought after 14 games. The 6,000 away fans let him know how much they appreciated it, singing his name long after the final whistle.
Howe praised Woltemade too: “Nick was brilliant in that deeper role, and he deserved his goal. He’s been working hard, learning a new position, and today it paid off. He did the job, on and off the ball, and finished it off with a great goal. I’m really happy for him. Hopefully, this gives him the confidence to keep going and shows him what’s possible for his future here.”
MID-APRIL RETURN: THE DEVASTATING IMPACT OF BRUNO GUIMARãES’ RARE HAMSTRING INJURY BLOW
Bruno Guimaraes is out for two months! Read the full update on Newcastle's midfield crisis and the captain's return timeline.
Bruno Guimaraes’ injury has hit Newcastle United hard. The team’s captain just got back from an ankle problem for only his second start in five games, and then, against Tottenham, he limped off in stoppage time after helping the Magpies pull off a 2-1 win in North London.
After the match, Eddie Howe didn’t hide his concern. “He’s worried,” Howe admitted. “He’s never had hamstring trouble before, so he doesn’t know if it’s just cramp or something worse. Honestly, it feels more like an injury, but we’ll have to wait.”
Bruno sounded hopeful on Instagram: “Very happy with the win! This is what we should be doing. Proud of the team’s character. I just hope it’s not serious, and I’m back soon.”
But the news got worse. By Friday, with the FA Cup game at Aston Villa looming, Howe gave an update: “We’re still waiting for the full picture with Bruno’s hamstring. I don’t think he had any issues before, but late in the game, he was obviously tired. If we’d had a full bench, maybe we would have pulled him out earlier, but we didn’t have that option. We ran out of midfielders, so he stayed on, and then he got hurt.”
Now, ESPN Brazil reports Newcastle will be without their captain for at least two months. That’s a big blow; Bruno won’t be back before mid-April. Newcastle have never won a Premier League game without him since he joined in January 2022, so it’s not just any absence. He’ll also miss Brazil’s matches against France and Croatia. Word is, he’s heading home to get treatment from Rodrigo Lasmar, the Brazil team doctor.
All this leaves Newcastle short in midfield. With Bruno out, only Sandro Tonali, Jacob Ramsey, and Joe Willock are fit. Joelinton and Lewis Miley have missed recent games, but Howe is hopeful. “With Lewy, we’re taking it day by day. He’s got a dead leg, a knock to the thigh, and some muscle damage, but we don’t think it’s long-term. Hopefully, he’s back soon.”
“Joelinton’s doing well, too. He won’t make this game, but he’s not far off. He’s desperate to be involved, and that’s a good sign. He’s feeling positive.”
So, Newcastle face some tough weeks ahead. They’ll need some luck and their missing midfielders back if they’re going to keep their season alive.
