👀 Eddie Howe claims Nick Woltemade is enjoying his new deeper role, despite reports the big striker is unhappy at Newcastle. 🗣️ “He seems really happy. What you see is what you get with Nick. He’s always laughing, he’s been really good in the dressing-room and built up a close friendship with Malick [Thiaw], which is great to see. “He’s well liked by the group and that’s a really big thing for any player. The guys really like his personality and the fact that he’s very much a team player. He’s got good humour, doesn’t take himself too seriously and he’s one of the lads. 😃 “When I see reports that he’s not happy, that’s not the player that I’m seeing. He’s looked really good on the pitch the last few games, I’ve been really happy with him performing at a really high level and I don’t see any issues.”

Eddie Howe reveals William Osula practiced his exact finish against Man Utd in training the day before 👏 🗣️ "There was a moment where I thought he was going to run out of grass and it's going to go out of play. "I think he does really well to keep it in... Will asked after training yesterday for 10 more balls. He wanted 10 more finishes and a carbon copy of the goal he scored today. He scored eight out of 10. "That's all credit to the player because he wanted it, he wanted to do more before he went in. I'm a great believer in 'do the work, you get the reward'. Delighted for him personally."

Newcastle smash Qarabag 9-3 to advance to the Champions League Round of 16 👏 They will face either Chelsea or Barcelona 👀

Anthony Gordon has slammed Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer for their 'stupid' comments over his sub appearance against Barcelona 😬 The England international did not start for his side after being ill in the days prior, but was still well enough to make an impact off the bench. Shearer and Rooney were less than impressed 👀 Shearer said: 🗣️ “Maybe I’m old school but if you’re fit enough to train in the morning, and I know he doesn’t feel well, but this is Barcelona at Newcastle for a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. It would take something extraordinary to keep myself out of this game tonight.” Rooney claimed: 🗣️ "He walked past us before the game and wouldn’t shake our hands. He said he didn’t want us to catch anything, but then he’s going into the dressing room with his teammates.” Gordon didn’t mince his words as he shot down the accusations as untrue 😳 Gordon replied: 🗣️ “Seeing, I think it was (Wayne) Rooney, saying I walked past and didn’t shake their hands but then went in the changing room – I didn’t. “I got changed by myself in a changing about the size of this (interview booth), it was just me and a sink. Complete nonsense, I think they need to do better.”

Alan Shearer slammed Anthony Gordon after illness kept him out of the Newcastle starting XI against Barcelona 😳 🗣️ “Maybe I’m old school, but if you’re fit enough to train, and I know he doesn’t feel well, but this is Barcelona at Newcastle for a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. It would take something extraordinary to keep myself out of this game. “And then to come and say ‘I might be able to give you half an hour at the end’, I don’t know, give us half an hour at the beginning and if you’re feeling alright, you get through to half-time. “With his pace and his form in the Champions League he’s going to be a huge miss, so that surprises me a lot.”

The route to the final is confirmed 👀
