- One of Howe's two Brazilians will miss the game. He has had a scan and they do not think it is a bad injury, but he could be out for a few weeks and will get another opinion.
- Not many clubs are desperate to help Newcastle because they are competitors, Howe said, so the loan market is tough to use effectively. They would still look at anything that became available.
- Asked whether being unable to name a full bench left him powerless, Howe said that is not his memory. He remembers a committed group digging in, and a penalty decision that stung because it felt unjust.
- Howe said there have rightly been questions about their away form and handling pressure when not the dominant team, which they probably have not done well enough. This is a good game to answer them.
“…we want to excel, not just participate. And I think that's a totally different attitude to go into the competition with.”
- Howe admires how PSG play and how their manager has coached and evolved the team. He called it the ultimate test in Europe and, he thinks, the hardest game they could have had.
- Asked about six games in 18 days, Howe said it certainly does not get much harder. This week alone is a huge physical demand and mental test, and a big week for the squad to step up.
- Asked about a player described as close to invaluable, Howe said he wants to play every minute and win everything. His biggest quality is wanting the ball in every moment.
