Newcastle United merely should make St James’ Park a fortress once more after failing to attain for the second time in our final three Premier League house video games, with some worrying stats rising on our lack of objectives to date this season.
Newcastle sit eighth within the house type desk to date this season, which doesn’t sound like a serious trigger for concern, however with simply 5 objectives in six video games at St James’, one thing clearly simply isn’t clicking on the minute.
Final season, we averaged over 2.5 objectives a sport at house as we went on to interrupt our Premier League document for objectives scored in a Premier League season, however in our six house video games to date this season we’re averaging lower than a objective a sport.
Defensively, we’re nonetheless very stable at St James’ Park, with solely Liverpool (3) conceding fewer objectives than our 5 to date. However with out that spark up entrance – highlighted by zero pictures on course within the second half of Monday’s 2-0 defeat to West Ham – we are going to battle to frighten opposition sides arriving on Tyneside.

St James’ Park has performed an enormous position over time in serving to us safe some huge outcomes – we’ve made a behavior of beating ‘huge six’ sides and battered PSG in final season’s Champions League thriller – and we’ve got to attempt to discover a solution to replicate that after drawing blanks in current house defeats to Brighton and West Ham.
It’s one factor getting up for the large video games and preventing for each ball when all the pieces is stacked in opposition to you, however the gamers should discover ways to alter when there’s a stage of expectation like there was on Monday evening.
Issues on the pitch felt just a little stale and we actually seemed out of concepts in that second half, so Eddie Howe has an enormous job on his hand to provide you with a reply to those decrease blocks and will have ample alternative to unravel the issue this weekend in opposition to Crystal Palace.
