Speaking in the aftermath of the 2-0 defeat against Man City, when a host of chances were missed in both halves, Howe indicated that the team's confidence and well-being hinged on getting back to goalscoring ways. Howe's team were flowing with goals and confidence before the World Cup notching up a string of four-goal victories at one stage.
Reflecting on the barren run, Howe said: "I’m not going to lie and say it’s not a concern, because of course it is, but I think if you’re still creating them, and we did today, then that’s a positive.
