Eddie Howe speaks after Newcastle's 3-1 win over West Ham. He was full of praise for Will Osula after the match.
TIMESTAMPS0:00 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 was the end of one type of team the moment Isak left
That’s the nature of football
The team evolves and changes
Our team has changed slowly over the last four years
6:45 what’s the direction you want the team to go in?
Entertaining, attacking, intense football
I try to replicate that every game
7:10 Ramsey and Woltemade today, can you explain their role?
Not really
You saw it you can describe it
I never like to talk about it too in depth
We believe in fluidity
7:55
Tonali felt his hamstring but nothing too serious
8:10
Really important not to end on a negative at home
To leave on a good feeling is massive for us
I think it’s about unity and the connection with the supporters and that gives me real hope for the future
We know this season’s been a challenge
9:00 Most PL wins as a Newcastle manager. Thoughts? How much want do you have to continue improving?
Individual accolades always surprising
When we arrived if you’d said that I wouldn’t have believed that
The most important thing is for the players to love the fans and vice versa
10:25 Osula - Scandinavian spark?
Will as a character is unique
He’s got a real character about him, that energy is endless
I think it’s a massive thing he didn’t leave last August
He was desperate to play
He had to be patient in the early times this season
11:45 the white glove, Michael Jackson celebration?
I had no idea that happened
11:58 do you have any MJ moves?
Absolutely…no I don’t
Can you imagine me moonwalking?
12:20
There’s been a lot of bruises this season
There’s been some real up and down moments
We had so many games this season but every experience makes you stronger
We’ll try and come back q better team
13:00
We don’t want to go too far from our principles
[8:28 PM]Michael Jackson thing for the short
[8:29 PM]Best line im not too sure
