Newcastle has really improved in their performances since the take takeover by their current owners and were able to show their improvement by finishing in the top four of the English Premier League last season and qualify to play in the UEFA Champions League competition this season.
Their improvement since in the last two seasons is very commendable. Now that they'll be playing in the European Cup for the first time in almost 20 years, I don't think their priority will be to finish the season as the winners of the competition because though it's not impossible, but it'll be extremely difficult for them to achieve such feat. So I think they'll want to have a good season in the UCL and and concentrate more in the English Premier League.
Newcastle has managed to show something extraordinary last season at EPL so they have the right to enter the Champions League, of course this is a very phenomenal achievement for them. But I do not know the long -term targets expected by management the Magpies should have now been taken over by Saudi Arabian investors not to do a big breakthrough in the transfer window. With opportunities, they should be able to enter European elite competition, they shop for several star players to create competitiveness with other giant teams in Europe. I always ask why they don't do that even though they have a strong enough financial.
The incorporation of Newcastle to the "Hell" group will certainly make the opportunity to qualify for the knockout phase very thin even I predicted that this British representative would also be difficult to finish in third to win the playoff rations to the Europa League.
I actually really don't understand why Eddie Howe doesn't buy star players to strengthen his squad so that they can better face the increasingly heated competition. Indeed, last season they showed surprisingly good performance, but at the start of this EPL league I think it would be better for West Ham in comparison with Newcastle United.
Maybe he is confident enough not to bring in players with more potential for his squad, who knows who knows what they think about this.
Newcastle United is in hell, and it seems we have the same thoughts, its rivals in Group F are no joke, including PSG, AC Milan and Dortmund, they are all big teams in their respective leagues, it is quite difficult to get out of the preliminaries group F
