Howe: Newcastle fans can lift us to UCL last 16

Eddie Howe said Newcastle United supporters can help lift the team through to the Champions League round of 16 when they host AC Milan at St. James’ Park in their final group game on Wednesday.

Newcastle have lost their last three away games in the Premier League, and Howe is happy to have the home support for Wednesday’s game, and will analyse their away form later.

“I don’t doubt the character of the players we’ve got. The spirit is there and the intention is there to do well away from home. But that can wait, tomorrow we have to focus on our home form and a game against Milan,” Howe told a news conference.

“We’re going to need every voice, everyone can make a difference for us. That’s befitting of our home form, the fans have driven us on and they’ve given us the ability to keep going, so we’re going to need that tomorrow.”
