Carabao Cup loss exposed areas where the Magpies' owners need to invest as talk intensifies of a major recruitment drive this summer
from the reviled Glazers, an established force will be further renewed by a well of apparently state-sponsored financing. Even if they don’t, under the brilliant Erik Ten Hag their forward momentum really is ominous for any pretenders.“We were fighting relegation last season – we achieved that comfortably last season – so this season was an unknown for us. The players have done exceptionally well to elevate us to an incredible position but we’re not the finished article, not by any means.
A chastened Newcastle might have collapsed but instead re-emerged with renewed resolve. Howe showed bravery to call for Alexander Isak from the bench and the forward asked questions of Manchester United, slipping into pockets of space where he could carry a threat. Ten Hag sensed this second half shift in momentum and sent for Scott McTominay and Marcel Sabitzer to take the sting out of the contest. A goal from Newcastle would have altered the complexion of the match but it never felt imminent. That has been a recurring theme in recent weeks, but the hurt at the final whistle was that bit more acute here.
“You feel like you’ve failed, you feel like you’ve not achieved what you set out to feel,” Howe replied when asked what was going through his mind. “That’s how it should be. I don’t think there’s any other way to feel.”
