Newcastle make Eddie Howe sack decision after tactics row and staff inquestNewcastle United faced a grim post-match inquest as they left the field at Selhurst Park on Sunday following a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace with questions arising about Eddie Howe's positionCommentsSportLee Ryder and Bruna Reis Senior Sports Journalist19:45, 13 Apr 2026View 2 ImagesPressure is mounting on Eddie Howe after Newcastle's recent run of results(Image: CameraSport via Getty Images)Newcastle United's coaching team launched an immediate post-mortem as they left the pitch at Selhurst Park on Sunday - but Eddie Howe's position isn't believed to be under threat.‌After Howe had acknowledged the travelling supporters at Crystal Palace following the 2-1 loss, senior coach Graeme Jones and the gaffer were deep in discussion as they made their way towards the tunnel. Unused substitutes including Dan Burn and Kieran Trippier, alongside the likes of Nick Woltemade, Jacob Ramsey and Yoane Wissa, participated in a brief training drill with fitness personnel, therefore missing the debrief from Howe in the porta cabins at Selhurst.‌Throughout the match, Tino Livramento - who was caught out for the leveller and delivered a substandard performance - was called over to the dugout for guidance, but appeared unconvinced by what was being communicated by set-piece coach Martin Mark and Jones. Geordie coach Jones was spotted gesturing firmly at Livramento during a heated exchange in the second period.‌During his press conference, Howe willingly acknowledged that his squad had failed to absorb the guidance they were provided. It's understood that the side's approach while 1-0 ahead was examined before Howe elaborated further publicly after the fixture.READ MORE: Man Utd and Arsenal discover Sandro Tonali transfer terms as Newcastle take a standREAD MORE: Premier League supercomputer predicts Arsenal WON'T win title after latest lossJOIN US ON FACEBOOK!
