Barnes, Schar believe Newcastle can still improve

Magpies showing signs of improvement as they continue learning

Before the season started, many were expecting Newcastle United to struggle this season. After all, they had just avoided relegation the previous season and had not made any significant signings. However, the Magpies have surprised many with their performances so far this season. They are currently 11th in the Premier League table and have won four of their last six games.

There are a number of reasons for Newcastle's improvement this season. First, they have a settled squad. The majority of the players have been at the club for at least two seasons, which has allowed them to develop a good understanding of each other. Second, they have a good manager in Eddie Howe. Howe has been able to get the best out of his players and has created a positive atmosphere at the club. Third, they have been able to avoid injuries. This has allowed them to field a consistent team week in, week out.

Despite their good start to the season, there is still room for improvement for Newcastle. They need to be more consistent with their performances. They have been known to drop points against teams they should be beating. They also need to improve their attacking play. They have not scored enough goals this season and have relied too heavily on Callum Wilson.

Overall, Newcastle are a much-improved team this season. They are playing with more confidence and are starting to show their potential. If they can continue to improve, they could be a surprise package this season.

Barnes: 'We know we can still get better'

Speaking after the win over Southampton, John Barnes said that Newcastle can still improve. He said: "We know we can still get better. We're not the finished article yet. We're still learning and we're still growing. But we're on the right track."

Barnes is right. Newcastle are still a young team and they are still learning. They have a lot of potential, but they need to continue to develop if they want to achieve their goals.

Schar: 'We have a long way to go'

Fabian Schar agrees with Barnes. He said: "We have a long way to go. We're not where we want to be yet. But we're making progress and we're moving in the right direction."

Schar is also right. Newcastle are not where they want to be yet. They need to continue to improve if they want to achieve their goals. However, they are moving in the right direction and they have a lot of potential.
