What really happened in Newcastle United’s match against Man United?
Newcastle United faced off against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Boxing Day. The Red Devils came into the match with a very different approach as they played a backline of 4 defenders. Without Mazraoui and Harry Maguire, Amorim was forced to play Heaven as a center back. Heaven partnered the returning Lisandro Martinez, while Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot played as fullbacks. United showed a real attacking threat in the first half as Cunha, Dorgo, and Mount constantly created chances for Sesko. In the 24th minute, United got a corner, and Dalot provided a teasing ball inside the box but only found a Newcastle shirt, who failed to clear it. Patrick Dorgu took the advantage and scored a beautiful volley and gave United the lead over Newcastle. In the second half, United played defensively, with Newcastle having the ball for the most amount of time. Despite Eddie Howe’s attempts to score a goal, they failed and eventually lost the match. Newcastle United are in the 13th position of the Premier League and have tough fixtures ahead in January. Eddie Howe expects to make some tactical changes before the next match against Burnley.
Fan’s rage against Newcastle United’s management after loss at Man Utd’s Old trafford
Following the game, Luke Edwards of The Daily Telegraph took to social media. He said, “Despite the fact that Newcastle dominated the game at Old Trafford, they didn’t actually create enough chances to score.” Addressing those on social media who believe Howe is struggling to convince in the dugout this season, Edwards revealed that the Newcastle United manager and those who work above him simply ignore what is written on social media. Now, it seems unlikely that the Newcastle United management would make any decision based on social media. Although Newcastle United won last season’s Carabao Cup and the coach promised to win big things, it won’t be possible for them if they continue their latest performances. With Champions League nights back at St. James Park, it seems like their coach hasn’t adapted to the pressure of the tight schedules. It would be interesting to see what developments Eddie Howe will do at the upcoming winter transfer window.
How fans reacted to their loss
The fans are angry and tense after seeing another loss on the road to New Year. Eddie Howe’s team has won only one of their last five games in the Premier League and is in the 13th position. Several fans have shown their anger through social media, blaming the club’s management for their tough situation. The club’s management have a lot to answer before their next game against Burnley.
