Squad can't get any WEAKER | Eddie Howe | Newcastle 3-1 West Ham

Eddie Howe speaks after Newcastle's 3-1 win over West Ham. He was full of praise for Will Osula after the match. TIMESTAMPS 0:00 a great display but too late in the season? Obviously we wanted to hit top form in the season earlier We can look back with huge frustration with this season it could’ve been very different 0:45 Europe could be on if results go your way? I don’t know, I’ve not seen the league table We’ll just try and go for it and win our last game 1:15 Osula a run in the team, how good could he be? I wanted to give him a run of games to try and see what he could do I think it’s difficult for any player when they’re in and out of the team I felt he did well enough in those early games He’s really repaid that faith he’s been excellent He’s a player of huge potential He’s a really good finisher off both feet He still needs a lot of development There’s a lot more to come from him 2:30 how awkward did you feel starting the parade early? It’s a really nice moment to reflect on the seasons work But today’s different because we’re focusing on players who will leave us who have done a great job for us We’re going to miss them 3:25 what will the goal do for Woltemade? A lot I think he needed it He’s very creative and very skilful He needs to contribute goals 3:55 how different will the team look next season? It’s unknown of course I don’t know The transfer window is so difficult to predict For me the thing is we need to try and improve The team and the squad can’t get weaker 4:40 no doubt there will be talk about strikers in the summer. Has osula done enough to be your number nine? I don’t think he could’ve done anymore The return he’s given us and his attitude Being a number nine for Newcastle is incredibly difficult The responsibility is the big thing Certainly he’s put himself in pole position 5:45 the end of an era with these players leaving? I think it possibly could be It’s always difficult, one and two players can define an era It w
