The reasons for the exclusion of Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United’s starting eleven against Brentford warrant examination.

Eddie Howe was inquired about the two alterations he implemented in his Newcastle United lineup for the match against Brentford, which resulted in a 4-2 loss on Saturday.

Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon were relegated to the substitute, notwithstanding their commendable performances during the 3-3 stalemate against Liverpool earlier in the week.

Prior to the match, Howe indicated that both players were experiencing fatigue in anticipation of the journey to the Gtech Community Stadium.

Harvey Barnes netted a goal upon his return to the lineup, equalizing for Newcastle at 2-2 as the teams approached half-time, following Alexander Isak’s earlier equalization of Bryan Mbeumo’s original goal.

Gordon and Tonali were substituted into the match with thirty minutes remaining; however, they were unable to assist

Newcastle in regaining momentum, resulting in a 4-2 defeat. Howe’s team has now gone four consecutive matches without securing a victory.”

I believe that today’s match presented significant challenges for players entering the game due to the prevailing conditions and the necessity to acclimate to the pace of play.

Naturally, one may experience a degree of coldness,” Howe remarked regarding the influence of Gordon and Tonali.

“I found Anthony’s performance to be commendable upon his entry into the game; I have no reservations regarding his contribution.”

“The midfield was a sector in which we exhibited diminished strength during the second half.”

We encountered a number of fatigued individuals and were unable to effectuate changes for all. The match against Liverpool exerted considerable strain on our team, and I would have preferred to implement a greater degree of rotation.

However, due to various factors, I did not believe it was feasible to do so, as the fitness levels of certain players on the bench did not meet the requisite standards for commencing a Premier League match.

Joe Willock was unable to participate in the match due to a hamstring injury; however, it is believed that he may have the opportunity to return for the upcoming fixture against Leicester City next Saturday at St. James’ Park, with a scheduled kick-off at 3:00 PM.

The Magpies approach the forthcoming match with the objective of concluding a streak of four consecutive matches without a victory in the Premier League, having accrued only 10 points from their last 11 league encounters.
