Newcastle United Head Coach Eddie Howe made clear that the Magpies have fully analysed their loss against West Ham United in the Premier League as they now prepare to face Athletic Club of Bilbao in the Champions League, whilst Middlesbrough Head Coach Rob Edwards was proud of his players as they snatched a late draw at Leicester City despite having ten men.
00:00Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has said that he and his players have shifted their focus to the club's next fixture,
00:07which is in the Champions League against Athletic Club of Bilbao.
00:10This comes after the Magpies were beaten by three goals to one against West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday,
00:16with Howe and the players undergoing a full analysis of what went wrong.
00:23Yeah, it feels like we've had a lot of time since because we've done a considerable amount of analysis.
00:29So, yeah, I think whenever you deliver a performance like that, it's never one-dimensional.
00:36There's been multi-factors that we've reflected on.
00:40But I think the most important thing from our experiences in Europe have been the quick turnaround in games.
00:47The focus very quickly has to go on to the next game.
00:50That's not sort of trying to brush things under the carpet.
00:53We've faced, you know, how we played and we've analysed it.
00:58But now we have to move on and look forward.
01:00You know, from my side, I think it's never a nice thing to do after that kind of performance.
01:05But I think I'm very confident now that we've sort of digested it.
01:09And once you have all the information you need, as I say, you have to look forward and make sure the performance is better.
01:13And Middlesbrough head coach Rob Edwards was proud of his players as they snatched a late draw against Leicester City, thanks to a goal from Luke Ayling, despite being down to 10 men.
01:24I look really proud of the lads, of everyone.
01:27The fans were staying until right at the end to celebrate what a good moment that was.
01:32But we deserved it.
01:32It was nothing less than what we deserved.
01:33We deserved to win the game.
01:35Let's have it right.
01:36I haven't seen the angle from the other side yet for the penalty decision, but it just looks like H's foot's on the line and his arm's outside.
01:45I haven't seen it back.
01:46This is another big one that's gone against us, in my opinion, right now.
01:49So to show the character to come back from that and keep fighting, once we've gone down to 10 men as well.
01:56And by the way, I think they should have gone down to 10 because Fatahou's already been booked.
02:00And then there's a really late challenge on Matt Target, who's getting stitches in his foot now because of that as well.
02:06So we missed out on a couple of big decisions here tonight.
02:10But the lads found a way.
02:11Found a way to get something from it and try not to lose two games in a row.
