Eddie Howe watched on as Saturday’s match ended Hull 0 Newcastle 2.

The visiting side very good in the opening 45 minutes, Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy scoring, with other chances created as well.

After the break the match predictably drifted as both sides made numerous changes and the Newcastle United eleven that finished the game was pretty much a reserve/under 21 side.

Only Dan Burn and Emil Krafth played the full match.

Eddie Howe reflecting on Hull 0 Newcastle 2:

“I thought that the first half especially we played very well, then the second half was difficult to judge. It was very, very bitty with all the changes.

“The front three for us all looked good.

“Alex (Isak), Harvey (Barnes) and Jacob (Murphy) all looked good. There were good moments from them.

“The second goal was really good.

“Nick’s save at a time when it’s one nil and the game’s in the balance… that’s what he’s done for us since he’s been here.

“He’s been a giant in goal for us and it was a magnificent save.

“I think that it was a good game.

“A tough game for us.

“I think Hull are slightly ahead of us physically.

“A very different team tactically to most you see, a lot of interesting things from them.

“It took us probably 10 minutes to get to grips with it.

“The attitude of the group was very good.

“Pre-season is always difficult.

“Players don’t want to get injured but they [at the same time] want to impress.

“I thought that the attitude was there, the collective mindset to defend, then some quality on the ball as well.

“First and foremost, the attitude was excellent.

“I think that if you have a group that give you everything, hopefully you can have a great season.
