Manager's Bond Strengthens After Tough Week
11 Feb
Summary
- Manager Thomas Frank faced humiliating chants from his own supporters.
- Eddie Howe received cheers from visiting fans after a 2-1 victory.
- Howe expressed gratitude for the continued special connection with supporters.
Newcastle's head coach Eddie Howe experienced a moment of connection with supporters, accepting their cheers following a 2-1 away victory. This contrasted sharply with recent home fan reactions, where Howe had been subjected to chants questioning his position.
Just days prior, Howe had openly acknowledged that his performance was not sufficient, following a winless streak that extended to one victory in eight games across all competitions. This period led to significant introspection for the manager.
Howe emphasized the sincerity of his earlier self-criticism, stating his belief in his suitability for the role and the sacrifices involved. He noted that his players demonstrated their commitment to him during the recent match, a level of performance he expects to see consistently.
