The Brazilian returned to the starting XI after injury and grabbed a goal from the penalty spot, but couldn't inspire his side to victory. Afterwards, he took to social media to reveal the feeling inside the club in an emotional message to supporters.
?Delighted to be back almost three weeks after my last injury,? Guimaraes wrote. ?I know, and we all know, our responsibility as players, and that things are not happening the way we would like.
?I believe that in these four years together, this is the first time we are going through a real dip in form. We have to work harder, because difficult moments are always opportunities for us to become better than we have ever been.
?There is still a lot ahead of us, but we are certain that inside our club, no one will let go of anyone, and we will give everything to enjoy better days.
?Special thanks to the club?s physios for getting me back fit in record time, as well as my staff for helping me return to the pitch as quickly as possible. Howay NUFC.?
Guimaraes' comments echoed those from Kieran Trippier in the immediate aftermath of the Brentford defeat. The experienced full-back fronted up to the TV cameras with an honest appraisal of where Newcastle are at.
Trippier told Sky Sports: "It's nothing about the manager. We need to take responsibility for the performances as the players. I'm not going down that route about the manager - I'd never do that."
The consensus in the team is that it's on the players not the manager.
With Eddie's comments kind of lending weight to this.
What more can the manager do when players just seem to switch off at times in matches.
