00:00Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has said that he is expecting a tough

00:04test when the magpies come up against Belgian side Union Saint-Gilois but

00:09that Newcastle are now used to the build-up to Champions League fixtures.

00:12They've started the season very very strongly and great result in the

00:16Champions League as you say against PSV. They're tactically interesting, they'll

00:24give us a physical threat as well. They've got two big strikers. Yeah, I've been

00:30very impressed by watching them play. We know it'll be a really important game in

00:34our Champions League journey but it's been going to be a tough one. Well we

00:38certainly feel in our first game if you're looking back at the Barcelona game

00:43we felt we gave a really good performance but ended up with with nothing and you

00:47know disappointing result and the similarities between that and that sort

00:52the Premier League start for us where we felt been really competitive and have

00:56left certain games with less than I feel we've deserved so I feel we're

01:00competitive. We're enjoying I think the build-up now we're used to it from two

01:06years ago there's nothing that really is gonna hopefully surprise us in that sense

01:09and I think that can only help us then hopefully perform at a better level. And in

01:13the Championship Middlesbrough were held to a goalless draw at the Riverside

01:17Stadium by Stoke City in what Rob Edwards described as a classic game

01:22of two halves. Really good performance in the first half, everything but the the end

01:30product bit and I feel we had a really good penalty shout turned down, looked at

01:35it back, I let other people make their minds up and I won't get myself in

01:38trouble because I want to make sure I'm on a touchline in the next game. And then

01:44clearly then we weren't our best in the second half and probably lacked a little

01:47bit of energy, we gave the ball away too often and then it was a case of all right we

01:51need to make some adjustments here to make sure that we don't lose the game and

01:55yeah in the end we take the point we move forward. You mentioned in the press

02:01conference yesterday that there will be times this season in times and games

02:03where things wouldn't all be going your way. Was the second half an example of

02:06that and an example of how you sort of have to get through that? Yeah yeah but look we're

02:10human beings and no one's perfect as a team we want to try to be.
