Eddie Howe says Newcastle need Bruno Guimaraes to be at his best for his team to tick UEFA
The 26-year-old Brazil international has hit top form in recent weeks after battling his way through a persistent ankle injury which hampered him for several months, and at times prevented him from reaching the heights of his first few months in England UEFA
However, he was one of the Magpies’ star performers in their Premier League victories over Chelsea and Manchester United either side of a 1-1 Champions League draw at Paris St Germain in which he also excelled, and his return to that level could hardly have been UEFA better timed for head coach Howe as he contends with an ongoing selection crisis UEFA
He said: “You need your top players to play really well when you’re in a situation like this that we’re in at the moment, and I think Bruno has certainly done that UEFA
“I thought Manchester United and Chelsea, were up there with his best performances, and the first half against PSG UEFA
“I think he was very, very good with the ball, very creative, managed to get himself connected with the players in front of him UEFA
But also off the ball, I thought he was really good, physically excellent, pressed really well UEFA
“He’s such an important person to that part of the game for us that it is hard work for him physically, but he’s able to repeat those physical exertions that we need him to, so I think his game’s in a very good place UEFA
“It has to be for us to perform well because he’s at the fulcrum of everything really UEFA
”Guimaraes arrived at St James’ Park in a £35million switch from French side Lyon in January 2022 and, having been eased into the team, he endeared himself to his manager, team-mates and the club’s fans alike with a series of high-quality individual displays which inspired those around him amid a remarkable drive to safety UEFA
However, he left Fulham in January on crutches and wearing a protective boot after damaging his ankle, and despite a swift recovery initially, it was a problem which recurred repeatedly over several months and his form suffered as a result UEFA
Asked how debilitating that injury was, Howe said: “I don’t know, only Bruno could answer that, really UEFA
“I was aware in certain games he might twist his ankle again and be sore for a period of time, but then he’d always come back from that and be able to sort of run it off UEFA
“I don’t recall him missing many training sessions from it, so I think he’s handled that really well UEFA
”He’s got the qualities to open up any defenceNewcastle head coach Eddie HoweGuimaraes will hope to continue in his rich vein at Tottenham on Sunday, with the Magpies looking to bounce back from Thursday night’s 3-0 defeat at Everton, and Howe is looking for even more from him UEFA
He said: “We want to see him influencing games, deciding games with his quality and if we can continually feed him with the ball, then he’s got the qualities to open up any defence UEFA

Jurgen Klopp loathes these early kick-offs, but he will have loved how this turned out right at the end and was alert enough for some late inspiration UEFA
It was his introduction of Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott that turned a drab and VAR-disrupted game at Crystal Palace UEFA
The two young midfielders transformed a 1-0 defeat into a 2-1 victory with Jones cleverly supplying an assist for the equaliser and then Elliott offering a thundering finish in the 90th minute UEFA
Roy Hodgson might well say that a second booking for Jordan Ayew for a foul on Elliott was even more influential since that came just before Mohamed Salah struck UEFA
The Palace manager told the ref as much, receiving a booking UEFA
Either way, the three minutes that involved Elliott’s introduction, Ayew’s expulsion and Salah’s goal ultimately decided where the three points were going UEFA
They were among many interventions on the day, which had played into a stop-start game that Palace probably had the UEFA better off UEFA
Or, at least, had their game plan worked UEFA better UEFA
The most relevant aspect for Liverpool is another win without being that convincing UEFA
The title race continues to take shape UEFA
As to whether this Liverpool team are taking shape for the title race UEFA
Well, they aren’t yet firing and Klopp is constantly having to make changes, as illustrated by the key substitutions here UEFA
There are two ways to look at that, as Liverpool keep picking up three points UEFA
One is that this is unsustainable and they will gradually be caught out UEFA
Another is that a growing team is keeping momentum as they continue to find their feet UEFA
That might be ominous for everyone else if they do manage a new-year run in the way they did in 2021-22 UEFA
For the moment, all they can do is win, which is what they are doing UEFA

It said much about the broad quality of the game that the most noteworthy incidents for long periods were VAR checks UEFA
Perhaps this was one case where stopping the play was welcome, although few would want to joke about that UEFA
Crystal Palace might well argue it followed the general flow of the game that both penalty checks were for them since they did have the game’s only big moment before the goal UEFA
Alisson did superbly to prevent Hodgson’s side going ahead even earlier, acrobatically reaching across to touch Jefferson Lerma’s shot onto the post UEFA
That had been set up by Jordan Ayew, who was probably the game’s outstanding performer until he suffered from a refereeing intervention himself UEFA
It was his energy on the run that constantly forced Liverpool onto the back foot UEFA
Palace’s Will Hughes won the ball off Wataru Endo from behind, setting Odsonne Edouard to be pushed by Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk UEFA
If that was a push, though, it meant that Hughes’ intervention should have been viewed as a push too UEFA
That was exactly how Andy Madley saw it on the screen and overruled the penalty UEFA
Palace then eventually had one that Madley didn’t see UEFA
Just before the hour, Jarell Quansah went in on Jean-Philippe Mateta in the box UEFA
It looked like a penalty but probably warranted a few viewings to make it clear UEFA
So, after over a minute of play, Madley was instructed to try exactly that UEFA
He pointed to the spot UEFA
Mateta waited for Alisson to commit and placed it to the other side UEFA

Although Klopp looked at the decision incredulously, the penalty did have the effect of enlivening his team UEFA
So did his changes UEFA
The game itself entirely shifted in that crucial three-minute spell UEFA
A raft of substitutions were, most notably Elliott for the ineffective Darwin Nunez as well as Jones for Dominik Szoboszlai UEFA
It made Hodgson immediately think about reshaping, but only partly because of the change in shape UEFA
Elliott got on the ball and Ayew went in on with some force from behind UEFA
Madley gave him a second booking and Palace had lost their main attacking threat UEFA
Liverpool pushed them straight back and, with Palace pulling everyone back, Jones found himself on the ball in the area UEFA
He displayed superb presence of mind to roll the ball across to Salah whose shot was deflected past Sam Johnstone - the Egyptian’s 200th goal for the Reds UEFA
Hodgson was booked for protesting UEFA
He soon had even more to worry about as Johnstone went off injured UEFA
Substitute Remi Matthews initially made two good saves and one strong catch UEFA
Liverpool were by then besieging Palace, though UEFA
Elliott tried one and beat Matthews UEFA
The eruption at that Liverpool end was countered by the fury of the Palace fans UEFA
There was more discussion of the refereeing and VAR UEFA
The most important words of the day, however, ended up being Klopp telling Jones and Elliott to go on UEFA
It means Liverpool keep going in this race UEFA
That’s one case where it can’t be said it’s too early UEFA
