Indeed, Patrick Dorgu\u2019s strike in Newcastle United\u2019s 1-0 defeat to Manchester United<\/a> came from a throw-in. <\/p>\n Would Unai Emery have won a trophy as quickly as Eddie Howe if Newcastle appointed him in 2021 instead? <\/p>\n Don’t forget, he was PIF’s first choice!<\/p>\n Show your workings in the comments!<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc47 Join the debate; share your insight. Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say <\/p>\n Nick Woltemade\u2019s poor clearance from Diogo Dalot\u2019s long throw teed Dorgu up and while the Dane still had an awful lot to do, it was an avoidable goal to concede. <\/p>\n Concession from set-pieces has long been an issue this\u00a0season\u00a0and Hall<\/a>\u00a0knows\u00a0it.\u00a0<\/p>\n The defender was speaking to Newcastle United\u2019s official website<\/a> after the game at Old Trafford. <\/p>\n Hall was brilliant for Newcastle against Manchester United<\/a> and almost dragged them back into the game, but his fine effort from range struck the top of the bar in the second half. <\/p>\n The 21-year-old admitted that set-pieces have been a problem for Newcastle this season. <\/p>\n \u201cIf you look at the goal, it\u2019s another goal from a set-play \u2013 a throw-in this time, second-phase, shot from the edge of the box,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n If Eddie Howe isn\u2019t going to be Newcastle United manager, who should be? <\/p>\n This is the impossible question that PIF face! <\/p>\n \ud83d\udc47 Join the debate; share your insight. Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say <\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s something that we\u2019ve conceded [from] a lot more than we want to this year, whether that be a corner, throw-in, second-phase. That\u2019s definitely something we need to look at and improve on.\u201d<\/p>\n Those improvements can only be made on the Newcastle United training ground<\/a>, although Eddie Howe<\/a> does not have much time to find solutions given the relentless fixture schedule. <\/p>\n How many goals Newcastle United have conceded from set-pieces this season <\/p>\n Newcastle have conceded seven goals direct from set-pieces this season, which sees them rank 10th in the Premier League table<\/a> for that metric. <\/p>\n Last season, they only conceded eight in total, which gave them the fifth-best record across the division.<\/p>\n Newcastle did appoint a set-piece coach earlier this summer in the form of Martin Mark but the team are yet to see the benefit of that. <\/p>\n There are bigger issues at the club, namely the state of limbo fans are in when it comes to a potential move to a new stadium and training ground. <\/p>\n That can\u2019t be controlled, however. What can be addressed in the immediate term is their dreadful defending from set-pieces. <\/p>\n Sign up to TalkingPoints<\/a> for free to join the conversation about all things Newcastle United with Geordie Boot Boys!<\/p>\n Join Our Newsletter <\/p>\n Receive a digest of our best Newcastle content each week direct to your mailbox<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hall knows exactly where Newcastle United are going wrong this season and wants some of the issues…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":340110,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,40571,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-340109","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-lewis-hall","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340109\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/340110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/emery-howe-1766941272504-1024x576.jpg\")
