Eddie Howe: The performance in the first half was simply unbearable. I should feel lucky to have lost 0-1 at halftime.

October 19th: In this round of the Premier League, Newcastle lost 1-2 to Brighton. Eddie Howe accepted an interview with BBC Sports after the game.

Eddie Howe said: "We are really disappointed with our performance in the first half. The team's state gradually declined, and the last half-hour of the first half was difficult to watch. Brighton scored during that time, and we are fortunate to enter the halftime break with a score of 0-1 to adjust."

"Newcastle's midfielders are all excellent players, but the overall operation was not smooth today, but I think this is a problem for the team rather than an individual."

"When we conceded the second goal, we were the dominant side. We responded very positively in the second half. During that time, the opponent did not have many offensive opportunities, but still scored."

Speaking of Walter Mader who scored the goal, Eddie Howe said: "It is natural for the outside world to have expectations for him, because we signed a very good player. It takes a process to adapt to the new league and new lifestyle, but he handled it very well."
