Howe warns Newcastle to better manage games after surviving the second half against Nottingham Forest

Eddie Howe praised Newcastle for their 4-3 victory over Nottingham Forest, but urged his side to better manage games in the future.

The first-half-haired display saw that toon was 4-1 with four goals in 13 minutes, but were unable to reconcile the intensity of the first half while retaining the visitors to return to the nervous second period.

The goals of Nikola Milenkovic and Ryan Yates for Forest reduced what seemed to be unavailable leadership and concluded the game much more uncomfortable than it should be.

While Howe was delighted to have achieved an important victory that was at a level with Manchester City in fourth place, he said his team must continue to ensure that they improve things.

Sky Sports said: “It’s great to win. You have to remember that in the end. Crazy game, but that’s why we love it.

“The two sides of us. The first half was great. A great answer to the descent. The second half was equally bad. We fought to face the momentum when he turned against us.

“At best, we’re a free, offensive team, dynamic. You’ve seen the best of us in the first half.”

But on their fake screen after interruption, Howa Ade: “My brain goes into the second half. We weren’t perfect. Set-mountain defense and goes into the frame, we were usually pretty good at it over the years. .

“A really good performance of Lewis (Miley). He finished his goal really well. It can be very pleased, it develops very well.

“It’s a feeling we have to remember. It feels like we lost the game, but we won the game and got points over Nottingham Forest.”

“A crazy game, but that’s why we love it!” 😍

Said the BBC: “The first half Newcastle was better. The second half, better us. And the goals have proven it. There is no explanation (until the first half) we have to wait and see.

“He was a big gap to try to recover. The reaction was very good. We gave everything and we created a lot of chances against Newcastle and believed we could win the game.

“The reaction was good, I think the team was more recognizable. We played well and we were positive next forward. This was most pleased with me.

“I wish it was 10 minutes (added) to get (the equalizer). We were at a good time.”
