This was the third consecutive away match where Newcastle drew 0-0, a trend that Howe recognized as unusual given the team's attacking style of play.

Howe noted that the team's emphasis on attacking play has shifted without Isak, who was sold, and that it's a challenging period for the team to score away from home.

However, Howe expressed confidence in the team's ability to defend at a high level and ultimately score goals.

He also praised the team's performance, stating that they limited Bournemouth to long shots and goalkeeper Nick Pope made several saves.

Howe concluded that the game was tough and that Bournemouth's style of play made it difficult for Newcastle to create clear-cut scoring chances.
