Newcastle poor performance at the start of the season made their chances even smaller, they were only able to win 1 win and 3 defeats in the 4 matches they had played in the Premier League. The negative results obtained by Newcastle in the EPL make me doubt that Newcastle will be able to go further in the UCL, especially since their coach doesn't have enough experience in the UCL.
Eddie Howe got 2 great opponents in the EPL opener. Man City and Liverpool, but Brighton's last game they also lost 1-3. I think since Newcastle are owned by PIF from Saudi Arabia they will be stronger. The reason is because they have a lot of abundant funds to buy new players. But I was wrong, they didn't buy many big players for this season. So if performance drops it's not surprising. But for UCL I agree with you, Howe hasn't had much experience in Europe.
Well, it crossed my mind when the transfer market opened, and I thought that Newcastle would be more ambitious in buying players, considering that their schedule in the UCL would require quality players and of course have experience as well as mentality in the UCL. If this opportunity is not utilized properly, I personally doubt that Newcastle will be able to play optimally in the UCL. Moreover, seeing a tough opponent will only make Newcastle easier to get rid of. That doesn't mean I underestimate their quality, but because the UCL competition is a different competition to the EPL, there will be many considerations that must be made in the transfer market if you don't want to be eliminated quickly.
