Watch out for the attacked threat of Gunners, despite the advantage of first leg

Eddie Howe says Newcastle must be “on Straža” against Arsenal as they try to secure a place in the EFL Cup final tomorrow night.

Magpies, who have not claimed a home trophy since 1955, won the first part of their semifinals against Gunners 2-0 in the Emirates, after withstanding a huge pressure in the victory of breaking and grabbing.

But Howe is careful to reject the team that showed their offensive skill on Sunday in their demolition 5-1 from the Defense of the Manchester City Premier League on Sunday.

He said, “I think my message is halfway through, the game of visiting was a good performance from us, but against any opposition, the game is still alive. Then you add the quality of Arsenal (and) we have to be on our guard.

“We have to try to be positive and aggressive, there will be no deviations from that. We need to hire a crowd and try to take every opportunity.”

Howwe’s cunning window

Newcastle failed to add to his detachment in January the window while still fighting with PSR’s demands, although they have brought some much needed revenue by selling Lloyd Kelly to Juventus and Miguel Almiron at Atlanta United.

“I said that this was not the case at the start, this was not the case of looking at Inpari, the case of trying to manage editions and not weaken the detachment too much to influence,” Howe added.

“We managed PSR -UI two sales achieve this. The detachment is easier but full of quality. We can still achieve success. “

Howe’s reluctant to let Kelly go

The sale of Kelly was a special blow to Howe, but financially made sense with the club owned by Saudi Arabia, which brought him to a free transfer last summer.

“I don’t think it was necessarily my decision to let him go, very hesitant to our side,” Howe said.

“Lloyd is a player we have just signed, we believe in his traits. A little frustrating has not played anymore, but that may be reduced to the form of others. We had to try to manage PSR and make the decisions they use to us, this is one of them. Exciting. an opportunity for him. “
