Eddie Howe delighted with win
Eddie Howe was absolutely delighted with his team’s display.
However, it doesn’t look good for Nick Pope.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, he said:”That’s one of our best performances of the season.
“We were very good on and off the ball.
“The crowd were very good. The atmosphere helps push us on, even when we are winning late in the game, they are celebrating every block.
“We have a very special bond with the supporters.”
However, it doesn’t look good for Nick Pope.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, he said: “It looks like he’s dislocated his shoulder. His arms slipped on the moist floor.
“The joint has come out, and it doesn’t look good for him.”
Erik ten Hag on Marcus Rashford
It was another awful night for Marcus Rashford as he was hooked early in the second half.
However, his manager believes that the England international will get back to his best.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, he said “He works hard and is investing a lot.
“He will get back and we will support him.”
When pushed further, Ten Hag said: “I don’t comment on individual performances.”
Erik ten Hag on defeat
Erik ten Hag was full of praise for Newcastle’s display and wants the team to push on.
He said: “We have to say credit to Newcastle. They were better than us and more proactive.
“We allowed them one goal and fought back.
“We had two good opportunities, but we couldn’t score.”
“I am sure this team is resilient. We have to pick this up and get ready for Wednesday.”
Concern for Pope
We will hear from Eddie Howe soon, but there is going to be some serious concern over Nick Pope.
The goalkeeper had nothing to do, bar one save.
But late in the second half, he dived for a shot that was blocked and landed on his shoulder, potentially popping it out.
Martin Dubravka is an able deputy, but it could be another long-term issue.
