Eddie Howe speaking at his Newcastle United pre-match press conference ahead of facing Everton:
“We have to get the focus in the right areas, the focus has to be on what we can do better.
“All energy is towards Manchester United, which will be a great game for us.”
Eddie Howe on Manchester United:
“Our intention in every game is to get into them, be a proactive team rather than a reactive team. Attack them.
“They have tweaked things tactically; they have a really good atmosphere there. You can see an upturn in their general performance; they have some really good players.
“It is a chance for us to rediscover our best form at home.”
Eddie Howe on team news ahead of tomorrow’s game:
“Jacob Ramsey trained fine yesterday.
“Potentially a sickness in the squad, Nick Woltemade hasn’t trained through illness, but we will give him every chance for tomorrow.
“Tino Livramento is getting closer and closer, this game possibly comes too soon for him, we are desperate for him to become available.”
Eddie Howe on the demands of the current schedule:
“The team we have is a very good team, but we need to defend better collectively, and that is on us as a whole team.
“We have been slightly unlucky with injuries, that is tough for any team to absorb, especially when you are playing every three days.
“We have been put in a position where we haven’t had the luxury to rotate which has impacted our performances.”
Eddie Howe on the run of fixtures:
“They are all pivotal games.
“The games we have, we have to be positive, try relish the games, can’t play with fear, need to go and attack the games and be as positive as we can.”
Eddie Howe on finding consistency:
“We want to be consistent, we want to be our best in every game, so it is a frustration for all of us, we are trying to find solutions to our problems.”
