Eddie Howe warns Newcastle stars who ignored Kieran Trippier after Cambridge humiliation

“Sometimes, that’s the most important time to do it when the result hasn’t been good so we have to stand up, take the criticism but still acknowledge the people who have paid big money to come and watch us.

“I never run from that moment. I don’t think that’s right.

“From my perspective, especially, you have to be brave enough to front up even if you’re aware that you may potentially be criticised for that. I’d still much rather it that way than not being seen.”

The result is Newcastle’s fifth FA Cup third-round exit in 10 years, with their lack of trophies owing much to their poor performances in knockout football.
