00:00Against teams such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City this season, Newcastle
00:05United have demonstrated that despite accusations of the club being stale, amongst other issues,
00:11that they are still more than capable of going toe-to-toe against the best in the Premier
00:15League and coming out with results. Head coach Eddie Howe is certainly aware of this and
00:21has been very pleased with the displays against those teams at St James' Park that have fired
00:27up the crowd and earned Newcastle both points and a place in the League Cup semi-final.
00:32The challenge now is to maintain those performance levels in other fixtures against teams in
00:37and around them, something which they have struggled with this season, drawing with teams
00:42such as Crystal Palace and Everton and losing to Brighton and West Ham. If getting back
00:47into Europe is the aim at the end of the season, then this inconsistency in levels of performance
00:51cannot continue to be a factor for the magpies as the other teams in the league with quality
00:56will take their own opportunities.
