🚨 Eddie Howe after NUFC defeat at Palace... 🗣️ "Those numbers (25 points lost from winning positions) are incredible. It's blighted our season. The fact we haven't been able to consolidate really good passages of the game, but also to go on and score more goals and continue to attack. That's not the tactical instruction we give the players. We don't want to go 1-0 up and change to a mentality of defending, but we've done it, so I can't say it hasn't happened. But then if you are going to defend, we have to defend better than we did. We gave them few chances, but we still look vulnerable towards the end of the game, and that's hugely disappointing. 🗣️ "The first goal we conceded, I think is self-inflicted. It's not good enough, through minimal threat. And of course the second goal is an individual error with very little time left in the game. There's no way we should have lost that game. We had a younger team today, but that's no excuse. There's enough experienced internationals on the pitch to navigate the defensive aspect well enough"

Japan do what England cannot... attack with pace & incision. Palmer mistake leads to Mitoma goal. 0-1. If this is how slow England play in 12C, I can't wait for the energy of 32C.
