Eddie Howe reacts after Newcastle are booed off following their Tyne-Wear derby defeat to Sunderland at St. James’ Park, increasing the pressure on the Magpies boss. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:01 tough afternoon and result? Very very painful Most of all painful for our supporters they’re the ones I think about now. I’ve got little to use as an excuse. I understand why we will be criticised. Desperately disappointed in ourselves. All we can do is come back stronger. 0:52 How do you feel about your own position? I’m fully committed to the job but I’m disappointed in my delivery. Today is even tougher than Barcelona.

My first thought as the leader is to front it up and absorb it. I’ve got no issue with it 6:15 change of formation and shap
