Gary Neville believes Eddie Howe will want a 'little bit more' in attack as he delivered a hugely positive assessment of Newcastle United at the halfway point of their season. The Magpies moved back into third spot on Sunday courtesy of a dramatic late winner from Alexander Isak to earn a narrow home victory over Fulham.
Howe's side have lost just once in the Premier League so far, and face relegation battlers Southampton later this month for a place in the Carabao Cup final. Manchester United sit level on points with the Magpies with a game in hand, but the latter now hold a five-point cushion over Tottenham in the race for the top four.
Neville has regularly praised Newcastle this term, and has praised the team's resilience following their recent goalless draw at league leaders Arsenal. The pundit feels the club will 'count their lucky stars' following Aleksandar Mitrovic's disallowed penalty in the latest victory, and puts the Magpies down as one of the stories of the season so far.
