Osula has HUGE POTENTIAL | 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. 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 @HaytersTV – Football Up Close.
