How Eddie Howe Improves Newcastle United's Players

Joelinton, Willock, Schar, Murphy, Longstaff, Almiron, Newcastle's existing players have catapulted them to 3rd in the table just as much as the expensive new additions. But how has Eddie Howe gotten such consistent results from players who looked bound for the Championship less than 2 years ago?

The big big Irony of that match and battering Newcastle gave to Spurs is, (Daniel Levy and Spurs) were the main protagonists against the Newcastle Takeover by the PIF/Saudi's, it was Levy that fought the hardest to stop it. As a Toon supporter/Fan since 1987 that result gave me so much warmth.

[@georgemorley1029]

Of course they did. They saw this coming.

[@wjh.22.rc.addictionrc80]

Me to it was unbelievable to watch us destroy them

[@Sillygoooose624]

Loved this too. Average fan doesn't realise Chairman Daniel Levy owns a stake in Tottenham Hotspur purely to safeguard/bodyguard Joe Lewis and how Joe Lewis will make more money. The average fan has never heard of Joe Lewis? Why - Daniel Levy. Newcastle win 6-1 - 5 goals in 20mins - every podcast, news is focused on Tottenham being in turmoil - how about Newcastle scoring 5 inside 20mins? Newcastle are owned by Saudi's - bad. Joe Lewis and News UK (The Sun, Talksport etc.) are very happy fellows.

[@gonufc]

One tactical element that people seem to miss/ ignore is the Willock/ Joelinton combo. They literally swap roles. Willock will go left wing (his surprising pace can be very dangerous) and Joelinton will slot into midfield- it's such an interesting little thing that they do.

[@zachcamileri3087]

Well said one of favorite tacks he deploys. Allows them to get the best out of both players

[@Zubair292006]

Yeah, I love this. They both have the athleticism, engines, willingness to defend and the drive to get forward to play interchangeably and they do it at will. Their tactical understanding of when to do it is clearly well coached.

[@richardnewland5000]

Very well described! His ability to develop players at Bournemouth meant that players like Simon Francis, Charlie Daniels, Marc Pugh etc etc moved from Leagues 1 & 2 to becoming Premier League regulars. He is a seriously good coach and amazing manager and so much better than some of the big name managers who get dropped into the big 6 clubs.

[@JaculaDudek]

The best part about current Newcastle is Eddie Howe - loved his work at Bournemouth, now, it absolutely tremendous

[@richardferguson6893]

I was watching fan reactions with the Spurs guy at the beginning and I could NOT stop laughing.

[@aidanfblydon]

😂 There's another one, might have been the same fella saying "how has Joelinton controlled it like that!"

[@Akirkland24]

The look on Murphy’s face after scoring that rocket said the same thing 😂

[@MrBlackjimrogan]

Yeah, also whatching Expressions soul leave his body after the 4th goal is probably one of the funniest things i have ever seen on youtube.

[@rianfarisa]

With immense financial backup from Saudi, any manager would be tempted to spend huge at one go like Potter did. But no, instead, Howe's "unusual" approach has been more rewarding, not just for the club itself, but also fans and players. He gave us all that 'story building, zero to hero' feel that made fans love the club even more and the players with high morale and dedication. Would love to see what comes next under Howe. I hope the good story never ends. HWTL!

[@SGProto]

Don't think it's Potters fault but a certain Todd B owner stepping in and buying sensational signings.. thankfully the newcastle owners and Howe are sensible.. not overtly spending on sensationals.. as that would dent squad morale and also paralyze the days ahead with FFP.. like what Chelsea have needlessly gotten into cos of one owner ( not manager)

[@sumotherdude]

Quality content mate. I think you're 100% spot on - Eddie deserves all the praise in the world, but also credit to those previously downtrodden players (not Miggy, he always had a smile on his face), but they have shown they're humble enough to take the coaching on board and to put the hard work in every single day in training to improve. I couldn't love them any more - LETS GOOO HWTL

[@hlinskey1]

Spot on and absolutely brilliant analysis. Howe deserves huge credit for vastly improving players who had been 'Bruced' and were bottom of the league a little over a year ago.

[@petercunningham8240]

Some well made points here. What we're also not appreciating so much is how he is also improving the players that have been bought (perhaps a follow up video - 'How are Newcastle buying so well'). Pope, Botman, Bruno and Isak were all good players when they were bought, but under Howe they too are getting much better, some like Bruno are on the verge of being world class. This is harder to see as they were in different teams or even leagues but by looking at a club like Chelsea you can start to appreciate it a little. Consider the individual performance and the impact the team of Newcastle's signings compared to what is happening at Chelsea, where you have undoubtedly talented players like Mudryk just not performing and the team overall really struggling. There is clearly a very careful process to how Howe introduced and then coached players like Bruno, Botman and Isak so they could have maximum impact that is just absent at Chelsea.

A modern deep and forward thinking manager, who is meticulous in everything he does from preparation for games, analysis and most importantly his man management. He is 5G compared to Bruce who was barely dial up internet speed. From an unfit, listless and disorganised ramble to what we saw on Sunday.. all in 18 plus months.

[@Zetakun]

Great Video! Just a suggestion, would it be possible to paint white ball black or something? With markers for players being also white, it doesn't stand out to viewer's eye right away what's supposed to be football and what's supposed to be player.

Sometimes gg all toxic and saying these players are crap and we need a clearout is counterproductive. Eddie Howe is a true coach who treats players as people and brings out the best of his charge.

[@grahammurry9645]

This analysis is so good. Eddie did all this at "little" Bournemouth and now doing it at Newcastle, a team fabulous to watch with wonderful fans.

[@oliverlane9716]

Not a little. He took a league 2 team to the premier league with very little money by finding seemingly mediocre players with previously hidden talents.

[@DJVm4GOD1]

Yet he STILL won't get the full credit he deserves. While yes, we've improved too cause of the money, but if you take our example, then look at Chelsea at the moment, or even Spurs. It's only about the money if you're doing well it seems. Yet those two have spent and spent, yet you could argue a lot of their money has been WASTED. It's how you spend it is key. Plus too, I remember that they laughed at us signing Burn, Targett. Yet players like those have been key for many reasons.
