Eddie Howe Praises Omar Marmoush After Devastating Hat-Trick Against Newcastle

Following Newcastle United’s crushing 4-0 defeat to Manchester City on February 15, 2025, manager Eddie Howe had high praise for City’s latest signing, Omar Marmoush, whose sensational first-half hat-trick dismantled Newcastle’s defense.

Marmoush, who found the net in the 19th, 24th, and 33rd minutes, was unstoppable, causing havoc for Newcastle’s backline. Reflecting on the Egyptian forward’s impact, Howe admitted:

“He made all my defenders restless. They were afraid of him. To be honest, I have never seen such a dangerously aggressive player like him before.”

Marmoush’s Rapid Rise at Manchester City

Since his £59 million transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt, Marmoush has quickly emerged as a key figure in Pep Guardiola’s attack, offering pace, clinical finishing, and relentless pressing—a crucial asset amid City’s ongoing injury concerns. His presence has added a new dynamic to City’s offensive play, making him a nightmare for defenders.

This emphatic victory propelled Manchester City to fourth place in the Premier League with 44 points, while Newcastle slipped to seventh with 41 points, underscoring the tight competition at the top of the table.

Howe’s Reflection on the Defeat

Eddie Howe acknowledged his team was outclassed, emphasizing the need for improvement:

“We need to produce in all aspects of our play to be competitive.”

Newcastle will now reassess their defensive approach and prepare for upcoming fixtures, as Howe stresses the importance of adapting strategies against world-class players like Marmoush to stay competitive at the highest level.
