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

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

A first rampant exhibition saw Toon’s career on a 4-1 score with four goals in 13 minutes, but could not coincide with the intensity of the first half, as they retained the visitors in a second nervous period. .

The goals of Nikola Milenkovic and Ryan Yates by Forest had reduced what had seemed an unattainable advantage and made the conclusion in the game much more uncomfortable than it must have been.

And while Howe was happy to get a significant victory that takes the level with Manchester City in fourth, he said that their team must continue to secure that they improve things.

He told Sky Sports: “Great to win. You must remember -at the end. Crazy game, but that’s why I guess we love it.

“Two sides of us. The first half was excellent. A great answer to go down. The second half was equally bad. We struggled to cling to the impulse when we turned against us.

“At the best time, we are free, an attacking, dynamic team. We saw the best of us in the first half. “”

But at his poor show after the pause, Howe Adde: “My brain goes to the second half. We weren’t perfect. The defense of dishes and crossings in the box, we have usually been quite good over the years. In an instant reaction, this is what I will say.

“A good performance by Lewis (Miley). He finished his goal very well. It can be very satisfied, it has developed very well.

“It’s a feeling we must remember. It feels as if we lost the game, but we won the game and got points on Nottingham Forest. “”

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