Bruno Guimaraes' 'honest' admission about his own performance at Brighton shows how Eddie Howe is driving 'high standards' at Newcastle United. The Magpies' fan favourite took to social media to admit he did not have his 'best game' in the goalless draw with the Seagulls.
Guimaraes has proven to be a sensation since sealing his blockbuster switch from Lyon in January. Howe phased the Brazil international into the team slowly, but the 24-year-old's form means he is now one of the first names on United's teamsheet.
The midfielder has consistently been one of Newcastle's standout performers in recent months, but struggled alongside his team-mates at the Amex Stadium. Guimaraes thanked fans after the game for their support, but accepted it was 'not even close' to being his best performance for the club.
