Vincent Kompany said to Eddie Howe, “I hope,” in reference to Burnley ahead of a crucial Turf Moor clash.

As Burnley gets ready to visit European rival Newcastle United, manager Vincent Kompany is certain that the team’s mentality must stay resilient and self-centered.

After winning promotion from the Championship, the Clarets have spent nearly the whole season in the bottom three.

However, in recent weeks, they have shown newfound optimism as they have only lost one of their last eight league games and have avoided defeat in tough away games against Chelsea and Manchester United.

Burnley, who has the joint poorest home record in the Premier League this year, will be playing against Newcastle, who has only won four of their 16 away games.

Kompany is motivated to get all nine points available and says he needs to see “more of the same” characteristics in their game that they have begun to display in recent weeks.

When asked if the results have come too late in the season, the former captain of Manchester City said in the negative. but didn’t give up hope that he could lead the club to safety.

“I keep frustrations out of this place,” he remarked. Even though I can’t live with it, it seems like we will be content for the league to go on, even though that isn’t the case.

Even now, we remain committed to the goal of winning a game in the world’s most competitive league.

In response to a question on how he keeps his squad motivated under pressure, he advised Newcastle manager Eddie Howe to be critical of his former team rather than complimentary of them.

“The simplest is if managers talk poorly about my team, I hope Eddie (Howe) criticizes my team instead of praising them—that will get them going,” he clarified. Anything ought to increase your drive.

Kompany continued by praising Howe’s accomplishments and characterizing him as a man whose track record is worthy of respect.

Newcastle recorded a 2-0 victory over Burnley earlier in the season and Kompany is once again anticipating a difficult test.

After Newcastle defeated Burnley 2-0 earlier in the season, Kompany is expecting another challenging test.

“They don’t have a lot of weakness and they have a lot of strength (But) at Turf Moor,” he said in describing the Magpies. They defeated us 7-0 in our matchup before to the Championship.

I thought we weren’t prepared to play these clubs even in the first preseason. Newcastle gave us our first impression of what a Premier League team should look like.

Describing the Magpies, he explained: “They don’t have a lot of weakness and they have a lot of strength (But) anything is possible at Turf Moor. We played them before we started the Championship and they beat us 7-0.

In that first pre-season, I already felt we were not ready to play these teams. Newcastle was our first view of what a Premier League team looks (like) for us.”
