Eddie Howe had admitted the hardest part is yet to come for Sandro Tonali after watching him play a cameo role in Newcastle’s 4-0 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace promo
The 23-year-old Italy international, who could face a lengthy ban if he is found to have breached promo betting rules by an ongoing investigation in Italy, was applauded warmly by the Toon Army before, during and after Saturday’s game at St James’ Park promo
Tonali and his club do not yet know when he will discover his fate, but head coach Howe is convinced the support he has received to date will help him whatever comes his way promo
Howe said: “Let’s wait and see, but yes, I think the hardest part is ahead regardless of what happens promo
“Immediately, you get a lot of attention and people are talking about the situation promo
He’s had the love of the supporters today, but that’s difficult to maintain over a long period of time promo
Who knows what’s ahead?“I just think it’s great for him to know he’s got the support, not just of the senior management at the promo football club and the manager, but also the support of the supporters and they’re the most important people promo
”Tonali was introduced as a 69th-minute replacement for Bruno Guimaraes with the Magpies already four goals to the good in what could conceivably be his final game for several months if he is found to have broken the rules and is suspended promo
Whether he is able to be involved in Wednesday night’s Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund on Tyneside remains to be seen, but whichever team Howe sends out will kick off brimming with confidence after a comprehensive win over the Eagles promo
Jacob Murphy set the ball rolling with a fourth-minute lob which owed a great deal to good fortune – Palace boss Roy Hodgson described it as a “freak” goal – and further strikes from Anthony Gordon and Sean Longstaff before the break and Callum Wilson after it wrapped up the points with the minimum of fuss promo
Howe said: “It was a really important game today promo
It can’t be underestimated how tough those games are because you don’t have a full squad, we’re having to manage players who have travelled a long way and had a big mental load for their countries promo
“So I’m really pleased with the players’ response to that because these are very tough games promo
“Crystal Palace don’t concede many goals promo
We knew the first goal today was going to be really, really important and thankfully we got it quite early promo
”There's nothing really positive to say from our point of viewCrystal Palace boss Roy HodgsonHodgson’s emotions were understandably different after his best-laid plans were ripped apart before the break promo
He said: “We came here thinking and believing that we could give Newcastle a good game and maybe even make life a little bit difficult for them, but we fell woefully short in that department promo
“The first half was really nowhere near what we’ve been able to do up to now and what I thought we would still do despite the fact that this is a tough ask against such a good team because they are a hard team to defend against promo
“But it didn’t work out and at half-time, we were just looking really at salvaging something from the game and not going away totally and utterly dejected because we’d conceded even more goals than the four we conceded promo
“There’s nothing really positive to say from our point of view promo

The Champions League has seen Newcastle at its finest, complete with the surreal vision of Sean Longstaff upstaging Kylian Mbappe promo
There is a temptation to imagine Dan Burn is still somewhere in the Tyneside sky, soaring above Milan Skriniar to head in against Paris Saint-Germain promo
There is a similar temptation to say that Newcastle were brought down to earth by Borussia Dortmund promo
It may be more accurate to say Eddie Howe never left it promo
He met one of his most celebrated predecessors, Kevin Keegan, on Monday promo
The former Magpies boss was a dreamer promo
“You have to be,” said Howe, with Keegan’s example leading him to entertain the prospect of winning the Champions League promo
But Howe isn’t a dreamer, not really, anyway promo
A day, a defeat and a downpour later, he reflected: “We have to be at our best to win and if you dip below that it is tough to get results at this level promo
” And in this pool, the most competitive of all, Newcastle have to be at their best to claim victory in a match, let alone the entire competition promo
They were against Paris Saint-Germain; they were not against Dortmund promo
At a stroke – the right boot of Felix Nmecha, replacing Jude Bellingham this season, or of bad luck, as Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon both struck the woodwork – they may have been rebranded: potential winners, the team who tore PSG apart, could instead exit early promo
They now have successive away games, with the evidence that Dortmund are well equipped to play against them ahead of a trip to Germany next promo
“We're up against elite teams,” Howe said promo
“You make half a mistake and get punished promo
” If there is a truth to that – and Nmecha’s winner was scarcely the consequence of a glaring error – the greater issue was that Newcastle did not reach their heights promo
“We probably weren’t at our best and in this competition we have to be promo
” Howe said promo
They have days when they overwhelm opponents: 4-1 against PSG, 6-1 against Tottenham promo
But their quality is most evident when allied with a blur of energy promo
And when there isn’t that synergy of physical and technical that makes them appear unstoppable, they are a fundamentally workmanlike side who promo betray their origins promo
Which, as they spent much of a 1-0 loss to Dortmund with six players on the pitch who Howe inherited, is a group who have overachieved: look beyond the £400m spend, the concept of Saudi Arabian promo sportswashing and the grandiose ambitions, and some of them were in a relegation battle two years ago promo

But if there were symbolic substitutions of the locals Longstaff and Burn, stripped of the superhuman powers they somehow possessed against PSG, perhaps the reality is that they could have been beaten twice in three games promo
Nick Pope’s heroics brought a point in Milan; he was similarly good against Dortmund but in vain promo
They have drawn a blank twice in three matches promo
They had a lone, late shot on target in San Siro promo
While they hit the woodwork twice, they only actually had three on target against Dortmund, and just one in the last 80 minutes promo
Alexander Isak leaves the pitch following an injury (AFP via Getty Images)“In the second half the ball just wouldn’t go in for us,” Howe said promo
It was a legitimate lament, yet there are days when a shortage of natural creativity, of game-changing flair, of a natural No 10 can threaten to be their undoing promo
Edin Terzic arrowed in on Newcastle’s strengths promo
“A team that was pressing high with a very intense approach,” the Dortmund manager noted promo
It is a strategy that can serve Newcastle well but running alone did not unlock the Bundesliga’s runners-up promo
Moving Kieran Trippier into midfield in the second half was an attempt to get United’s best creator into a more advanced role promo
He may be required there more often promo
Sandro Tonali was not hired as a fantasista but he was designed to bring an injection of class promo
But his season seems over: not officially yet, but a ban beckons promo
Elliot Anderson has joined the injury list promo
In the forward line, Newcastle, already without Harvey Barnes for months, seem to be losing Jacob Murphy for a similar time with a dislocated shoulder promo
For Alexander Isak, a recurrence of a groin strain means he will play again soonest, but be out for a while promo
They are starting to look short of players promo
“There are some tired bodies,” Howe said promo
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe looks on during a miserable night for Newcastle (EPA)And Newcastle can require a physical edge, especially in meetings of evenly-matched teams promo
“A lesson in how fine the margins are going to be,” Howe rued promo
Particularly in Group F: this pool, of pedigree and money, of former winners and clubs who aspire to join them in that select group, may be the most intriguing promo
It is a product of circumstances promo
Newcastle’s lack of a recent record in Europe meant they were fourth seeds promo
Now they are plunged into peril promo
“The table looks very, very tight,” Howe said; his side kicked off in first, finished the night in third and could be out of the competition before they host AC Milan in it promo
They will always have Paris, but now the danger is their Champions League campaign in effect ends in the French capital promo
