Nothing changed after that although Newcastle managed to minimise the defeat but they could not force points for this week because they did lose to Chelsea.
Honestly in this match I didn't really expect such a result for Newcastle actually because after all with their extraordinary performance last season then for this season there is more hope for Newcastle to be able to get better results but it looks like Howe is too complacent with the squad he has especially with the signing of Tolani who has given good happiness at the beginning of the season it turned into a disaster for Newcastle at this time.
With the current conditions, it seems that the management of Newcastle should try to overhaul in terms of squad and coaching because after all this is what they really need with a strong push of money from the middle east I think it is not too suitable if Newcastle is in the middle of the EPL standings.
Newcastle's performance has been down this season and they are completely different compared to last season. I think they need to improve their squad especially as the team's performance has been unreliable so far, but I know the impact of injuries to several players has also changed them.
Newcastle lost to Chelsea with a score of 3-2 when Newcastle could dominate the match, but they did not have many goal opportunities compared to Chelsea. Of course it was a difficult match because basically Chelsea played well at home, so Chelsea deserved to win it. Whatever it is, Eddie Howe needs to think about how to increase the depth of his squad next season. Newcastle must not allow things like this to continue to happen which in turn makes their league chances drop low.
Some of Howe's strategic errors also made the situation a little worse.
Howe wanted to try a few chances by building the club from the bottom but it was precisely with the improvement of their performance last season and the momentum of the Champions League that it made them a little inconsistent and mentally down this season which made them even more troubled and their poor performance carried over in the EPL.
Transfer mistakes and some injured players are also still problems that cannot be resolved until now and that only makes Newcastle's condition much worse. It's a bit unfortunate that their chances last season were very good but that momentum seemed to disappear instantly because their performance did not go well in this season's matches.
It is clear that this requires an overhaul because indeed with the resources they have and have been given from the new club owner, they will definitely not be satisfied if they are only in the middle of the table now so inevitably Newcastle must now try to make a difference and prepare for next season well because this season is very difficult for them to get back to a decent position.
