Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has been heavily criticized by fans for making comments following the defeat to Liverpool.
The Magpies traveled to Anfield on Monday night to take on league leaders Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp’s men managed to beat Newcastle in a controversial match, with a double from Mo Salah and goals from Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo.
Alexander Isak and Sven Botman put their names on the scoreboard for the visitors.
Howe felt Newcastle were unlucky as they were awarded two penalties and thought they should have been awarded their own penalty.
Howe told Sky Sports:
“Many things happened. Action packed game. We are disappointed with the way we defended.
“I didn’t think the second was a penalty. And I thought Sean Longstaff’s before that was.
“It shouldn’t happen. Martin has withdrawn his hand. He took two steps before going down. For me it is not a penalty. Even in the first one, contact was minimal. “We feel very harmed.”
He continued: “You have to have the mentality that you create your luck. Feeling sorry for yourself never has any positive results.
“The players gave everything. I support the quality of the group. “Over time we will get the results we need.”
Clown. He was absolutely gutted for 90 minutes and was lucky not to lose 7-1. Also what happened with respect to the VAR and the referee colleague.

Liverpool had more than 30 shots and feels it was the decisions that cost them

Your problems started when you robbed the Arsenal, so enjoy your trip, what goes around comes around.

There’s nothing about Joelinton still on the field?

Okay, it definitely wasn’t a penalty and Jota cheated. But he was happy to accept Isak diving in and cheating for a soft penalty a few days earlier against #NFFC. What goes around comes around, sometimes quite quickly.

Joelinton and Bruno should have seen the red bet that you’re not ready for that conversation. Taylor let them continue committing foul after foul and waited too long to give the first yellow card.
