All of the latest Newcastle United headlines including updates on Eddie Howe, Gary Neville, Sven Botman, Kieran Trippier and more following the defeat to Brighton
Here are the top Newcastle United news stories for September 4.
Howe’s request
Eddie Howe has stated that the only reaction he wants to see from Newcastle United players is on the pitch because ‘change rooms can be a very easy place to talk’.
Newcastle were defeated 3-1 at Brighton on Saturday, making it the Magpies’ first three-game losing streak since April 20, 2022. Although Newcastle has had a difficult start to the season, Howe’s club has now lost three of their first four league games. In comparison, Newcastle did not suffer their third top-flight defeat until March of last season.
Bruno Guimaraes has conceded that it is ‘certainly not our finest start,’ while Kieran Trippier has said that it is ‘clearly not our best start’.
The message of Trippier
Newcastle United midfielder Kieran Trippier insists there is “no panic” at St James’ Park after the Magpies’ defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion.
The full-back will go with England for two Euro 2024 qualifiers against Ukraine and a friendly match against Scotland at Hampden Park for the Battle of Britain. The 3-1 loss at American Express Stadium was United’s third in a row.
The most recent injury is
Newcastle United have suffered another defensive injury blow as Alex Murphy withdrew from international duty with Ireland under-21s over the weekend. The 19-year-old centre-back had been named for future games against Turkey and San Marino, but he has been replaced by Wigan’s Baba Adeeko.
Murphy suffered the injury against Manchester City under-21s on Saturday after impressing in Newcastle’s senior squad during pre-season. Following the injury to Sven Botman, Eddie Howe needs as many fit men in the heart of his defense as possible.
After limping out with an ankle injury against Liverpool six days earlier, the Dutchman missed Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Brighton. Botman was expected to appear at the Amex.
Newcastle United and Manchester United, according to Gary Neville, have both had ‘below standard’ openings to the current season. The Sky Sports analyst was asked to provide an early evaluation of the Premier League’s top clubs, with Manchester City sitting atop the table with a spotless record after four games.
Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, and West Ham are all 10 points behind Pep Guardiola’s team. Newcastle, on the other hand, started the season with a thrashing of Aston Villa before suffering three straight defeats.
The Magpies were barely defeated at City before falling to Liverpool at home despite possessing a numerical advantage for more than an hour. Due to Sven Botman’s injury, Eddie Howe had to make one forced change to his starting eleven at Brighton, but the visitors were poor and were defeated 3-1.
