When Howe arrived people were worried about his defensive record, and that was exacerbated by his perceived emphasis on being attacking. But it goes to show how pressing is a form of defence - keep the ball up the pitch, away from goal. Howe showing that he’s well ahead of most fans’ perception of what good defence is, including mine. Kudos Eddie.
i think part of it is looking at how awful we where at defending and worrying about his attacking style using our player atleast that was my worry but its how hes improved the players to be able to cope with that attacking style, proved me worry wrong definitely
You can't escape the money spent (intelligently) on better players, but the improvement in players like Joelinton, Saint-Maximin, Almiron but also Schar, Kraft, Willock, Shelvey, even Murphy has also been very significant.
They haven't improved that much, the players around them have improved...where was this improvement before the transfer window? Eddie Howe had several weeks and matches before January 2022, Newcastle still looked as bad as ever...it's all about the money
@@ulaytube9953 for starters, two of those I mentioned haven't played this season due to injury. The performances I'm referring to are last season. ASM is playing better because he's being coached better, same with Joelinton who's also had tactical changes to his game implemented under Howe. Schar wasn't one of our first choice CBs under Bruce. Willock did well in his loan spell then dropped off massively. Almiron was the subject of ridicule.
Because over the Christmas period we played Leicester, Liverpool, Man City and Man United. And in that final Man U game we dominated then and should have won. That was the first real game where most Newcastle fans said ooooh something could be happening here.
What non-Newcastle fans don't know is that Eddie Howe has also established a really strong sense of belonging and togetherness amongst the players, coaches, backroom staff etc. His leadership behind the scenes is exceptional. Players have often come out praising his man management, such as how he gets to know players on a personal level and how he shows genuine care for their well-being outside of football. He also instilled a mentality in the players to give everything they have, every single game, and all of the players have bought into this. You can see it by how high and intensively they press opponents. They play with passion and desire, and they want to do well for Howe and his staff. People will always involve money into the conversation but the truth is, Eddie Howe has been working absolute magic and he is at the very center of why Newcastle is now finally "united" once again.
It can also be interpreted from a tactical viewpoint. The tactic he uses requires that everyone commit to the team. If a single player won't do what he is required to do, team will collapse before long. Counter attacking based team, for example, is a little bit different. They tend to be too reliant on some players that are directly related to the scores. So the sense of togetherness won't grow so much in such team. One reason behind the jinx of Mourinho can be explained by this.
@@s._.ushitrash Yes, this explains why even players like Saint-Maximin are now more committed to tracking back and pressing higher. The team plays as a unit.
What peeps dont remember about eddie howe , that he was able to keep Bournebouth a team of limited resources competetive for a long time , now he has resources and its obviously fun to watch , the current crop of new castle players inhereted by him are decent too
@@izibane9295 they also shouldnt have gone down either because aston villla were saved by var in that sheffield match and should have gone down instead
@@moffattron9000 You know they probably own huge parts of Mayfair and one of this country's massive arms customers. Yes it is a concern but I hope we can be a positive influence on that country and of course in our region. Given the way the country is heading the north east needs all the help it can get in terms of regeneration and investment. I don't think the UK government will give a monkeys on Tyneside, Wearside or Teeside in the next 5-10 years.
To be fair, newcastle didnt went on an insane splurge. The bulk of the transfer of the was from Botman, Guimaraes and Isak, which in Isak case I think is inflated. Pope was signed for 11mil, Taggart for 10mil. Another inflated fee i think was for Chris Wood. To be fair, they didnt break the bank. The majority of the squad is the same, I think its shows Eddie Howe and team's nuance and coaching ability. Identify the key area and put in extra work on coaching.
Yeah, as you said we have bought a few players but a lot of them you could argue we are catching up with years of poor investment. We have managed to turn out some of these results without some of our key players (Trippier was out for most of the end of last season, we lost Wilson, we lost St Maximin this season and Isak has only played 3 times). He has turned around most of our squad from no hopers to players I want to get behind.
Exactly, everyone is talking about the money, but like you said - at least half the team is the same as it was a year ago. Maxi, Schar, Miggy, Joelinton, Willock, Murphy, Longstaff & Shelvey (when he's fit) are all playing for us now as they were before the investment. Fulham spent £150 million the last time they came up and it got them nowhere, money isn't everything. People vastly underestimate the other variables, like management and other staff members.
Something about the Newcastle kit that makes it feel like some sort of ancient power. The earliest football clubs in history have kits like Newcastle's.
Are you talking about the third kit? The Saudi Arabia fc one? That’s where the ancient power of Islamic fundamentalist blood soaked oil money comes from
@@StoutProper Blood soaked oil money? What kind of nonsense is that? Saudi Arabian oil extract their own resources, how’s it blood soaked? If you want to talk about blood soaked resources please talk about to how the West gained it’s wealth with blood soaked African/Asian oil, diamond, gold, spices etc
@@AdamAli-ci2qx oh look all the plastics are coming out, let me guess you started supporting Newcastle at Christmas? Allow me to educate you plastic. Your owners are Wahhabi Islamic fundamentalist dictators who rule by sharia law, sponsor Muslim terrorist extremists like isis, behead and Dismember journalists, bomb schools and hospitals, have murdered 100,000 children and 400,000 civilians in violation of international law, stone women to death, have the death penalty for children and practice slavery. They crackdown on the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly, and hand out heavy prison terms for human rights work and expression of dissenting views of human rights defenders, government critics and other political activists. These are the people you’re trying to defend, plastic
Ancelotti is not really into tactics either, nor was Zidane I don’t think. But they worked with great senior players, together with outsanding young players. Perhaps at these elite clubs it’s best just to let them play, not change too much. Newcastle needed a complete culture change and they got that with Eddie Howe. My only concern: how long can he keep shouting INTENSITY at the players before they burn out? Eg Mourinho and perhaps now with Klopp
@@alex6677 The burnout is already sort of here tbh, we've been in an injury crisis since the season started and there's no end in sight to it. The lads are obviously getting hammered in training
@@alex6677 I have been thinking this, it's a tough one. Im hoping we follow what Pep does at City and refresh the squad every few years but thats harder than it seems. One thing I will say is Eddie Howe has blown me away, I never realised how good he actually was. Maybe its because the bar was so low under Bruce but either way I am enjoying it.
What nonsense, Ancelotti is into tactics it’s just that he does not have a set doctrine like guardiola. Keep in mind, he took a terrible Everton side to an impressive points total before his move to Madrid
@@yaboikez2828 yeah there's just no squad depth to cover this, once you get outside of that first 11 you end up with the championship level players Bruce and Ashley left behind.
One thing missed by most is the second half of last season Trippier missed most of it, Burn missed a couple of games, Wilson missed 90% of it and Guimarães was eased into playing The other factor to consider is Newcastle have realistically still yet to field their full first 11
Eddie Howe is a great example of how one can constantly strive to improve, even if they're at (near) the highest level of their craft. Depsite how things ended, he achieved great things at Bournemouth. He took his dismissal as an opportunity to not just learn more about the game but he also pivoted to a style of play that is night and day in how Newcastle now play. It takes a humble man to do this but also one open to learning from others like Simeone. Eddie could have easily have put his feet up for a couple of months until the next job came along but he did the exact opposite! Huge respect for him as a coach and very inspiring as someone who has also been trhough setbacks in my early career. It's a marathon, not a sprint!
I am an Ipswich fan who lived on Tyneside for 11 years and used to go to St James Park. I am so pleased for everyone who supports the club that they had the good sense to appoint Eddie Howe. As others have commented he is not just a motivator and tactician but someone who inspires those around him. Great days for the Mags, my own team the Town (as we say, not Toon) and my other team Wrexham. Am absolutely loving this season
Eddie Howe sat the team down when he first took over and made them watch videos of the 90s 'Entertainers' squad. He has focused on the rich history of the club, and the passion of the fans to watch exciting football. Watching this squad pressing high and attacking on all fronts is fantastic, and certainly remenicient of the days of Shearer, Ferdinand, Ginola and Albert. All these fans ever wanted was a team that trys, and thats exactly what Eddie has created.
Going out and buying solid premier players (trippier, burns, woods) alongside the statement signings (Isak, Guimarães Botman) was a really smart move. Improving on the sub par players they had whilst adding star players in key positions, with the coaching from Howe, has made Newcastle go from relegation scrap to fighting for European spots in one year. I said on twitter when asked for a controversial prediction at the start of the season: 'Newcastle will finish above Man United' and judging by what I've seen so far this season, I'm still 99% sure I'll be proven right
@@darthsidious1959 He has a contract for atleast the next 4 seasons. By that time Newcastle’s rebuild should have been successful. Worse case they just sell him for triple what they paid.
There's a difference between spending money just for the sake of it & spending it intelligently. Every single transfer was done perfectly. Even if it was buying Wood as during that period we had no fit strikers. Every club bought in players & spent ridiculous money but under one year, Newcastle from being a very defensive side who used to sit very deep are now the squad with the most high pressing intensity, who are scoring goals whilst conceding the fewest goals this season. It's not money alone, it's also tactics & management by the coaching staffs. How Eddie Howe managed a Newcastle team that were certain of being relegated last season to top 6 (currently) this season.
as a Newcastle for years having ups and downs all weve ever wanted in a team that trys, a team that gives us hope, we had that in the early 2000s but that faded once ashley took over, seeing how the team plays and tries and pushes now fills us all with hope for the future, eddie howe has got the team playing in such away that it make us all proud of who represents us rather than worry
@@EzioAuditoredaFirenze21459 do something about it then muppet. Say here saying the same crap on everyone’s comments. Narrow minded muppet springs to mind. Everton spent over 500m and are struggling, do some research instead of saying Oil power like the fkn media sheep you are 👍🏻
It’s just refreshing to see us operating like a modern forward-thinking football club. We had NOTHING of the sort under Ashley which is why we were relegated twice under his ownership. We were stable financially but on the pitch we were a ticking time bomb with a disaster always looming around the corner. I bet the new owners and Howe were shocked by the sheer state of the “football club” they inherited but what a year it has been seeing them slowly repair the damage from that plague of an owner we had for 14 long years 👏🏻
What's most impressive is that the team that has been playing most of the season is with players who we have had for a while and everyone thought they where a total waste of money. He's a great 1 on 1 manager and developed each player. He's brought in world class players with the right mentality which other players look up to and want to become.
@@yaboikez2828 Agreed. Newcastle also started from the relegation zone. Ten Hag was expected to compete from minute 1 whereas Howe had time and lower expectations, relatively.
@@jdogg448 Well obviously, but nobody expected us to stay up. Ten Hag comes on at ManU and is expected to have already won the Prem is what Im getting at.
As a Toon fan it's so refreshing to see the team play with some identity, belief and tactical awareness. Under the coward and fraud Steve Bruce, there was no identity, there was no belief and there was no tactics. He's a relic who should be flipping burgers at the chippy in Slough.
Honestly I don't even know how Steve Bruce got the job seeing how terrible his win ratio is with every team he managed... Good for West Brom that they sacked him.
There's no secret here. Howe is an amazing manager. Don't get me wrong, the players are playing so well, but Howe is the reason why they are playing so well.
I love how people keep talking about Newcastle's transfer spend when the only two really quality signings were Bruno, Isak and Botman. Trippier, Burn, Wood, Targett, Pope were essentially signings you expect Newcastle to make before the takeover. Newcastle/Eddie Howe has just made the players he had better
The only issue with this style of play is it creates A LOT of injuries. We haven't once this season been able to play our best 11. Players out left right and centre, it's going to continue to be a big issue until we get more players and squad depth.
Shelvey injured his hamstring when he fell awkwardly. Saint-Maximin done his hamstring sprinting the length of the field trying to stop a counter. Both regularly injured throughout their career. Bruno was kicked a couple of minutes after coming on against Tranmere. Isak was injured with Sweden.
It's not as if Wilson was always on the pitch when Bruce played with zero intensity! I've been a Newcastle fan for a long time and I don't think we've ever had a season that wasn't dogged by injuries to key players. Owen, Woodgate, Dyer, Bellamy etc. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes but I do hope Dan Ashworth is doing all he can to improve the medical department. Either that or we have to stop signing injury prone players!
Remember the torrid injury list we had under Bruce who had us playing with far less intensity? A lot of our injuries this season are factually NOT down to our style of play. Isak for example was injured on international duty, Kraft and Bruno got injured against dirty Tranmere and ASM has always been injury prone.
@@chrisstucker1813 That's an easy one to answer, those injuries under Bruce were born out of players being unfit and not warming up properly. You can believe what you want idc but I'm telling you the large majority of injuries we are suffering now are stress injuries from doing too much. That's the facts.
And it'll only be exacerbated by a more congested schedule once we're playing European football. Then again, if _we_ can see this, I'm pretty certain that the management in the club can, so they'll have a plan - it may just take a little time to come to fruition.
Amazing!!! Well I wouldn't go that far... As a toon fan Eddie has done nothing but a fantastic job!!! Lots of togetherness... And players that looked dead in the water have been revived, but I wouldn't say we are amazing, I think we a long way off that!
We're pretty good though - I don't think CL football is realistic (and if we did sneak in, I think it would hurt us in the long-term) but some kind of European football next year or a solid cup run this year look very possible.
Glad someone actually went into depth and all aspects of this transformation because let’s not forget, we still have allot of players that have been at Newcastle for years who he’s also help improve on the pitch. Just spending money alone doesn’t help a squad struggling, they have to be the right fit and have the right mentality. It’s easy for already Established teams to spend big on 1 player because they are just adding to an already amazing squad, we don’t have that privilege so for the “oh it helps when they’ve spend millions” people out there, give your head a wobble and actually look at all contributing factors instead of being a narrow minded media sheep 👍🏻
i love when teams create attacking options and confusion for the opponents at least three options in each and every transition or open play chance creation the opponent has to think thrice and the harder it is the better
Look at the old greats Cloughy or Robson, they always told their teams a player should always have two or three options when they have the ball, absolute basics. Looking at us now we have that, players want t get on the ball. Under Bruce and at times Rafa, players didn't seem keen to get on the ball and the only option was often to hoof it or to play the obvious pass which was easy to read. Eg. a RB should always have an option at RW, CM, CB and even the keeper, CB should have an option of his fellow CB, closest FB, CM etc etc. Why any footballer wouldn't want to get on the ball is crazy, it's what they love doing surely, sad to see some days so devoid of belief that no one offers options.
It seems like Newcastle were inspired by the Gegenpress a bit. Great Job by Eddie Howe, his staff and the players and fans! Hope to see them compete for European spots down the line!👏👏
Actually the toon haven't really spent a lot of money!! Less than £20 million per player, plus £30 million for Bruno and £60 million for Isak!! Not a out really considering we only bought one player in 3 windows!!!
@@drex5160 yep remember Bruno himself telling journos it's pronounced like this in his unveiling. It's been pronounced incorrectly by everyone ever since
People go on to say they spent alot of money BUT most importantly they spent it wisely, before they buying players who were championship quality and they have players like Matt Ritchie, Murphy who are that quality, with old owner they couldnt spend anything much, now they got a new owner which can give them a brighter future, Joelinton when he was bought was a striker but no doubt in my mind in his entire career he was played out of position, because as BTB midfielder he is an absolute unit
We played great 2nd half of last season without Pope, Botman, or Isak. Worth noting as well that Trippier, Burn, Pope, and Targett are all 15m or less. The difference is we were spending nothing, and now we are spending something, and people still say we are good because of the money. Our record signing has hardly played, Bruno has been injured, ASM injured, Wilson injured, Shelvey injured. It's the dressing room and playing for the badge. And less players played out of position.
I've always loved Tifo and Tifo IRL, but when are you bringing back the Tifo Football Show? That was the peak of wild, chaotic, goofy and good videos that I loved every single week!
Yea i much prefer that then the podcast. Tifo IRL podcast are really boring. Focusing on the top 6 saying things that what most mainstream pundits are already saying.
Ah, good old JJ Bull - part incisive, tactically-astute analyst, part excited, football-mad child. Great video, thanks for covering The Toon! I think the secret is we’re spending well to build a team/squad with a real sense of purpose and identity. Of course, it’s easier to see the progress when the starting point is so low. Breaking into the top six for real is going to cost quite a bit - upgrading the attacking players to make the team more ruthless and having enough squad depth to cope with injuries and fixture congestion. I can see us stalling there for a while.
id argue we haven't spent a ridiculous amount all things considered, just where we have spent weve spent smartly, its a case of weve spent money and every player weve brought in is pretty much a starter, rather than training twice a week we are training daily this is a huge factor that i think people overlook...
Yes they have bought better players (Bruno, Isak, Botman) but let's not forget Wood was at Burnley, Burn was at Brighton (on the bench) Targett was at Villa (on the bench), Tippier .... Okay yeah Athletivo Madrid - but still he was on his way out. These players were around the same level as Newcastle. I think it's partley money but they have made some really good purchases. They could of gone mad with it but I think Howe et al. have got the right players not just the best.
Burn wasn't on the bench at Brighton. He made 33 starts from 34 games in 2019/20, 24 from 27 in 2020/21 and 12 from 13 in 2021/22 before we bought him in January.
If I was Newcastle, forget sponsorship, I'd pay Newcastle Brown Ale to use their logo on the shirt. Their Newcastle Brown Ale shirts are iconic Premier league shirts
The biggest improvement in the squad isn't just money spent but getting individual players playing better, Joelington, Willock, Almiron, Longstaff, Schar for example even Saint-Maximin is playing a different style of football. It's an insult not to give more focus on this, on the work Howe and his staff have put in. Yes we spent a lot of money but we spent very little in comparison to other teams over the last 14 years, we were playing catch up the entire time. We spent that money but the club is still in very good condition financially in comparison to other teams in the league
Every club in the league has spent a tonne of money. Even championship teams spend a lot of money. Their squad was awful. I'm not even Newcastle fan, but the reason they are where they are is Howe, not the money.
To say that the money Newcastle have spent since the takeover is one of the main reasons they're doing well now I think is a big disservice to both Eddie Howe and the players who were already at the club. In reality, the only players purchased by the new owners that have made a real difference are Trippier, Burn & Guimaraes. Plenty EPL teams and even Mike Ashley could have afforded them. That's not to say that the likes of Pope, Target & Isak haven't been good. They have. But it's more the players who were already there that are playing so well. And there's only one reason for that. It's not money. It's Eddie Howe. He's the best signing the owners could have made, so massive credit to them.
i dont even think he has had more than one game where his perceived 1st team have all been playing. he's elevated the whole team and got the best out of "average" players from the previous regime
I think it's a little misleading to say we've only improved this season, from January till the end of the season we got the third most points in the league after Liverpool and Man City obviously
I don’t think there’s a team in the league that wouldn’t have improved if they spent £123 million in 2 weeks in January. Newcastle’s saving grace last season wasn’t the money anyway, it was the fact that they were losing games when no one else around them were picking up points. Think they’d lost about 6 games in a row at one point last season and they were still only 4 points behind the team above them.
It took time? A year in football with only one preseason is basically nothing when trying to imprint an identity onto a team! Plus yes a lot of money has been spent but if you look at the core of the team Eddie has transformed them we only need to look at Joelinton to see that along with Miggy! They are effectively playing like new signings making it look like we have bought an entire new team! This time last year if ASM was injured every Newcastle fan would be shitting themselves but now we have faith in a system of players instead of just our best ones! And doing this all in just a year is incredible from Eddie!
200mil is small change to a premier League club of that size that haven't spent in God knows how many years. Howe deserves respect for spending it well on players who work with the way he wants to play. A lot of managers who have never had that money before could have spunked it on a couple of big names that flop. Howe is doing a great job just like he did at Bournemouth on a lesser budget.
It honestly baffles me that it’s even possible to make such a difference by ‘making the players fitter’. What are the other managers doing if they’re not trying to maximise how fit their athletes are?
fun fact, half of that is from Liverpool and City, prop to them that also means, don't press openly against both team if your team don't want conceding 2 goals
To be fair, we sat back in the second half of that Liverpool match and against City after we went up 3-1. They were good decisions because our defensive form drops of a cliff after around 70 minutes and we would have been very exposed, but the fact that we gave both teams so many attacks was probably the reason why we conceded, rather than high pressing.
Eddie Howe the man,s a genius. What he,s achieved in a year is amazing. A total LEGEND in the making at St. James Park. Champions League next year hopefully.
When I said Newcastle will be coming for the European spots this season after they drubbed Arsenal towards the end of the last, they called me a mad man. Eddie Howe is a brilliant manager. He turned memes like Joelinton, Willock and Shelvey into more than decent PL players. Another club on a similar trajectory is Leeds under Marsch. They’re linked with Gakpo, definitely a team to look out for. And I’d rather have them come for the European spots, not a big fan of sovereign wealth funds owning football clubs.
@@xpld5017 Thank you. Yes our new owners are finally putting in the investment this club deserves and its so refreshing after the decade and a half of asset stripping under fat cashley. Such a great time to be a Newcastle fan and see our club begin to thrive with some proper owners again.

@@donmongoose dude, you do plan on watching the world cup, have no ethical qualms against it, and try to shame those who speak out. You have the rhetorical gifts of a seasoned fascist, I'll grant you that much
Howe has only really improved the defence so far as well. We've been pressing teams with Wilson, ASM/Murphy, Almiron, Joelinton and Willock/Longstaff most of the season, all of whom are Ashley-era players! Just wait until Howe can buy his own attackers and Isak gets fit. We'll be different gravy with players bought for the system, and some actual goalscorers in the side!
It because we now have owners who want to succeed and are prepared to spend money on good players, building for the now and for the future, we have a Honest and wonderful manager who understands what the fans want, he and his backroom team know the type of players we need. This isn't not a magic trick it knowhow and hard work, something we haven't had since KK.
Steve Bruce had no idea, playing players out of positions week after week, lust look at Joe and Miggy, what a difference. Now he’s been sacked again already, poor old Steve better manage league 2 teams.
We aint even in the top 5 for net spending this year. So how we "bought" success? ASM has only started 4 games, has been missing for 2 months & played 30mins over 3 games just recently. So I have to disagree with just how influential he has been this season, not taking anything away from the lad but 4 games in 14 & we've only lost 1 without him...............
It might be because we've got Bruno in the middle, he knows exactly what we need, Botman in the back, Isak in attack, Newcastles going to win the premier league.... /S
think its a bit harsh saying its all down to the money howe has done alot with the old players and when the new ones came in they have been injured too. obviously better players and the money helped althugh its tthe average spend of mid table team (which they needed to bolster)
When Howe arrived people were worried about his defensive record, and that was exacerbated by his perceived emphasis on being attacking. But it goes to show how pressing is a form of defence - keep the ball up the pitch, away from goal. Howe showing that he’s well ahead of most fans’ perception of what good defence is, including mine. Kudos Eddie.
People forget that when he started at Bournemouth it was in league two
I assume you have a problem with supporting a club owned by sick owners?
Or the fact he went to athletico Madrid for a while to watch defending training sessions
i think part of it is looking at how awful we where at defending and worrying about his attacking style using our player atleast that was my worry but its how hes improved the players to be able to cope with that attacking style, proved me worry wrong definitely

CLUB BRUGGE FIRST!!!
What non-Newcastle fans don't know is that Eddie Howe has also established a really strong sense of belonging and togetherness amongst the players, coaches, backroom staff etc. His leadership behind the scenes is exceptional. Players have often come out praising his man management, such as how he gets to know players on a personal level and how he shows genuine care for their well-being outside of football. He also instilled a mentality in the players to give everything they have, every single game, and all of the players have bought into this. You can see it by how high and intensively they press opponents. They play with passion and desire, and they want to do well for Howe and his staff.
People will always involve money into the conversation but the truth is, Eddie Howe has been working absolute magic and he is at the very center of why Newcastle is now finally "united" once again.
It can also be interpreted from a tactical viewpoint. The tactic he uses requires that everyone commit to the team. If a single player won't do what he is required to do, team will collapse before long. Counter attacking based team, for example, is a little bit different. They tend to be too reliant on some players that are directly related to the scores. So the sense of togetherness won't grow so much in such team. One reason behind the jinx of Mourinho can be explained by this.

To be fair, newcastle didnt went on an insane splurge. The bulk of the transfer of the was from Botman, Guimaraes and Isak, which in Isak case I think is inflated. Pope was signed for 11mil, Taggart for 10mil. Another inflated fee i think was for Chris Wood. To be fair, they didnt break the bank. The majority of the squad is the same, I think its shows Eddie Howe and team's nuance and coaching ability. Identify the key area and put in extra work on coaching.
Yeah I feel like we're still very much in a deficit from a decade of underspending by Ashley.
Yeah, as you said we have bought a few players but a lot of them you could argue we are catching up with years of poor investment. We have managed to turn out some of these results without some of our key players (Trippier was out for most of the end of last season, we lost Wilson, we lost St Maximin this season and Isak has only played 3 times). He has turned around most of our squad from no hopers to players I want to get behind.
Exactly, everyone is talking about the money, but like you said - at least half the team is the same as it was a year ago. Maxi, Schar, Miggy, Joelinton, Willock, Murphy, Longstaff & Shelvey (when he's fit) are all playing for us now as they were before the investment.
Fulham spent £150 million the last time they came up and it got them nowhere, money isn't everything. People vastly underestimate the other variables, like management and other staff members.
@@mctwistmaster Yup, we spent 20 years surviving with little or no investment, hence why we can spend now without worrying about FFP rules.
They've spent within Mike Ashley's means as of now, they've just got a much better reputation due to presenting the club much more positively.

Going from Steve Bruce who says hes not really into tactics to Eddie Howe is like night and day. Unreal.
Ancelotti is not really into tactics either, nor was Zidane I don’t think. But they worked with great senior players, together with outsanding young players. Perhaps at these elite clubs it’s best just to let them play, not change too much.
Newcastle needed a complete culture change and they got that with Eddie Howe. My only concern: how long can he keep shouting INTENSITY at the players before they burn out? Eg Mourinho and perhaps now with Klopp
@@alex6677 The burnout is already sort of here tbh, we've been in an injury crisis since the season started and there's no end in sight to it. The lads are obviously getting hammered in training

One thing I will say is Eddie Howe has blown me away, I never realised how good he actually was. Maybe its because the bar was so low under Bruce but either way I am enjoying it.
What nonsense, Ancelotti is into tactics it’s just that he does not have a set doctrine like guardiola. Keep in mind, he took a terrible Everton side to an impressive points total before his move to Madrid
@@yaboikez2828 yeah there's just no squad depth to cover this, once you get outside of that first 11 you end up with the championship level players Bruce and Ashley left behind.
One thing missed by most is the second half of last season Trippier missed most of it, Burn missed a couple of games, Wilson missed 90% of it and Guimarães was eased into playing
The other factor to consider is Newcastle have realistically still yet to field their full first 11
Eddie Howe is a great example of how one can constantly strive to improve, even if they're at (near) the highest level of their craft. Depsite how things ended, he achieved great things at Bournemouth. He took his dismissal as an opportunity to not just learn more about the game but he also pivoted to a style of play that is night and day in how Newcastle now play. It takes a humble man to do this but also one open to learning from others like Simeone. Eddie could have easily have put his feet up for a couple of months until the next job came along but he did the exact opposite!
Huge respect for him as a coach and very inspiring as someone who has also been trhough setbacks in my early career. It's a marathon, not a sprint!
I am an Ipswich fan who lived on Tyneside for 11 years and used to go to St James Park. I am so pleased for everyone who supports the club that they had the good sense to appoint Eddie Howe. As others have commented he is not just a motivator and tactician but someone who inspires those around him. Great days for the Mags, my own team the Town (as we say, not Toon) and my other team Wrexham. Am absolutely loving this season
I have a fond memory of the movie Goal where the protagonist playing for Newcastle.. Seeing them on the rise now, I wish the best to them
Eddie Howe sat the team down when he first took over and made them watch videos of the 90s 'Entertainers' squad. He has focused on the rich history of the club, and the passion of the fans to watch exciting football. Watching this squad pressing high and attacking on all fronts is fantastic, and certainly remenicient of the days of Shearer, Ferdinand, Ginola and Albert. All these fans ever wanted was a team that trys, and thats exactly what Eddie has created.
Going out and buying solid premier players (trippier, burns, woods) alongside the statement signings (Isak, Guimarães Botman) was a really smart move. Improving on the sub par players they had whilst adding star players in key positions, with the coaching from Howe, has made Newcastle go from relegation scrap to fighting for European spots in one year. I said on twitter when asked for a controversial prediction at the start of the season: 'Newcastle will finish above Man United' and judging by what I've seen so far this season, I'm still 99% sure I'll be proven right
This was an unbelievable breakdown of their pressing game. Well done!! Love the channel.
It’s the bloody Bruno Guimeraes lad. He’s just so good at literally everything
I know he’s not the only reason but I just bloody love him

There's a difference between spending money just for the sake of it & spending it intelligently. Every single transfer was done perfectly. Even if it was buying Wood as during that period we had no fit strikers. Every club bought in players & spent ridiculous money but under one year, Newcastle from being a very defensive side who used to sit very deep are now the squad with the most high pressing intensity, who are scoring goals whilst conceding the fewest goals this season. It's not money alone, it's also tactics & management by the coaching staffs. How Eddie Howe managed a Newcastle team that were certain of being relegated last season to top 6 (currently) this season.
Love the analytics. Keep up the great work
as a Newcastle for years having ups and downs all weve ever wanted in a team that trys, a team that gives us hope, we had that in the early 2000s but that faded once ashley took over, seeing how the team plays and tries and pushes now fills us all with hope for the future, eddie howe has got the team playing in such away that it make us all proud of who represents us rather than worry

It’s just refreshing to see us operating like a modern forward-thinking football club. We had NOTHING of the sort under Ashley which is why we were relegated twice under his ownership. We were stable financially but on the pitch we were a ticking time bomb with a disaster always looming around the corner. I bet the new owners and Howe were shocked by the sheer state of the “football club” they inherited but what a year it has been seeing them slowly repair the damage from that plague of an owner we had for 14 long years 👏🏻
Gotta say, this channel really does make great videos.
Need more videos on Newcastle United. Mint video! I’ll keep my athletic subscription
the new goalkeeper and 4 new defenders have the best defensive record in the league, and combined they cost less than Harry Maguire looooooool
What's most impressive is that the team that has been playing most of the season is with players who we have had for a while and everyone thought they where a total waste of money. He's a great 1 on 1 manager and developed each player. He's brought in world class players with the right mentality which other players look up to and want to become.

As a Toon fan it's so refreshing to see the team play with some identity, belief and tactical awareness. Under the coward and fraud Steve Bruce, there was no identity, there was no belief and there was no tactics. He's a relic who should be flipping burgers at the chippy in Slough.
Newcatsle even without the Saudi take over they could have bought players and stayed up its just that management was poor and lack of ambition
Honestly I don't even know how Steve Bruce got the job seeing how terrible his win ratio is with every team he managed... Good for West Brom that they sacked him.
@@Corvus67 Because he's the cheapest coach that FCB Ashley can get from the management reject bin.
Why would he go to slough?
Being bank rolled by saudi arabia helps as well
There's no secret here. Howe is an amazing manager. Don't get me wrong, the players are playing so well, but Howe is the reason why they are playing so well.
I love how people keep talking about Newcastle's transfer spend when the only two really quality signings were Bruno, Isak and Botman.
Trippier, Burn, Wood, Targett, Pope were essentially signings you expect Newcastle to make before the takeover.
Newcastle/Eddie Howe has just made the players he had better
The only issue with this style of play is it creates A LOT of injuries. We haven't once this season been able to play our best 11. Players out left right and centre, it's going to continue to be a big issue until we get more players and squad depth.
Shelvey injured his hamstring when he fell awkwardly. Saint-Maximin done his hamstring sprinting the length of the field trying to stop a counter. Both regularly injured throughout their career. Bruno was kicked a couple of minutes after coming on against Tranmere. Isak was injured with Sweden.
It's not as if Wilson was always on the pitch when Bruce played with zero intensity! I've been a Newcastle fan for a long time and I don't think we've ever had a season that wasn't dogged by injuries to key players. Owen, Woodgate, Dyer, Bellamy etc. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes but I do hope Dan Ashworth is doing all he can to improve the medical department. Either that or we have to stop signing injury prone players!
Remember the torrid injury list we had under Bruce who had us playing with far less intensity? A lot of our injuries this season are factually NOT down to our style of play. Isak for example was injured on international duty, Kraft and Bruno got injured against dirty Tranmere and ASM has always been injury prone.
@@chrisstucker1813 That's an easy one to answer, those injuries under Bruce were born out of players being unfit and not warming up properly.
You can believe what you want idc but I'm telling you the large majority of injuries we are suffering now are stress injuries from doing too much. That's the facts.
And it'll only be exacerbated by a more congested schedule once we're playing European football. Then again, if _we_ can see this, I'm pretty certain that the management in the club can, so they'll have a plan - it may just take a little time to come to fruition.
Amazing!!! Well I wouldn't go that far... As a toon fan Eddie has done nothing but a fantastic job!!! Lots of togetherness... And players that looked dead in the water have been revived, but I wouldn't say we are amazing, I think we a long way off that!
We're pretty good though - I don't think CL football is realistic (and if we did sneak in, I think it would hurt us in the long-term) but some kind of European football next year or a solid cup run this year look very possible.
Bruce literally was barely having them train and if they did, they’d roll in mid-morning. Howe has everyone in at 7am and is drilling them properly
Glad someone actually went into depth and all aspects of this transformation because let’s not forget, we still have allot of players that have been at Newcastle for years who he’s also help improve on the pitch. Just spending money alone doesn’t help a squad struggling, they have to be the right fit and have the right mentality. It’s easy for already Established teams to spend big on 1 player because they are just adding to an already amazing squad, we don’t have that privilege so for the “oh it helps when they’ve spend millions” people out there, give your head a wobble and actually look at all contributing factors instead of being a narrow minded media sheep 👍🏻
Jamal Khassogi got his head wobbled for him.
i love when teams create attacking options and confusion for the opponents at least three options in each and every transition or open play chance creation the opponent has to think thrice and the harder it is the better
Look at the old greats Cloughy or Robson, they always told their teams a player should always have two or three options when they have the ball, absolute basics. Looking at us now we have that, players want t get on the ball. Under Bruce and at times Rafa, players didn't seem keen to get on the ball and the only option was often to hoof it or to play the obvious pass which was easy to read. Eg. a RB should always have an option at RW, CM, CB and even the keeper, CB should have an option of his fellow CB, closest FB, CM etc etc. Why any footballer wouldn't want to get on the ball is crazy, it's what they love doing surely, sad to see some days so devoid of belief that no one offers options.
Glad i have found this channel and such a detailed analysis of the club and almost covered the majority aspects of the club game… keep it up 👍🏻

People go on to say they spent alot of money BUT most importantly they spent it wisely, before they buying players who were championship quality and they have players like Matt Ritchie, Murphy who are that quality, with old owner they couldnt spend anything much, now they got a new owner which can give them a brighter future, Joelinton when he was bought was a striker but no doubt in my mind in his entire career he was played out of position, because as BTB midfielder he is an absolute unit
We played great 2nd half of last season without Pope, Botman, or Isak. Worth noting as well that Trippier, Burn, Pope, and Targett are all 15m or less. The difference is we were spending nothing, and now we are spending something, and people still say we are good because of the money. Our record signing has hardly played, Bruno has been injured, ASM injured, Wilson injured, Shelvey injured. It's the dressing room and playing for the badge. And less players played out of position.

Ah, good old JJ Bull - part incisive, tactically-astute analyst, part excited, football-mad child. Great video, thanks for covering The Toon!
I think the secret is we’re spending well to build a team/squad with a real sense of purpose and identity.
Of course, it’s easier to see the progress when the starting point is so low. Breaking into the top six for real is going to cost quite a bit - upgrading the attacking players to make the team more ruthless and having enough squad depth to cope with injuries and fixture congestion. I can see us stalling there for a while.
This guy completed championship manager
id argue we haven't spent a ridiculous amount all things considered, just where we have spent weve spent smartly, its a case of weve spent money and every player weve brought in is pretty much a starter, rather than training twice a week we are training daily this is a huge factor that i think people overlook...
bruno nearly scored a worldie last night with two backheels in the build up... such a change from sitting deep and hoping not to lose.
Are you going to do a video about the Manchester United and Tottenham game?😬
Yes they have bought better players (Bruno, Isak, Botman) but let's not forget Wood was at Burnley, Burn was at Brighton (on the bench) Targett was at Villa (on the bench), Tippier .... Okay yeah Athletivo Madrid - but still he was on his way out. These players were around the same level as Newcastle.
I think it's partley money but they have made some really good purchases. They could of gone mad with it but I think Howe et al. have got the right players not just the best.
Newcastle have spent wisely and brought in a talented young manager who has never been able to bring in top quality players that suit his style.
Burn wasn't on the bench at Brighton. He made 33 starts from 34 games in 2019/20, 24 from 27 in 2020/21 and 12 from 13 in 2021/22 before we bought him in January.
Excellent analysis in so far as I can make out given the tremendous hangover Eddie has inflicted on us all following the endless Toon partying!
It's not a sudden effect. We saw progress when the takeover happened and Howe was hired. He has proved to be the right man for the job so far.
Newcastle play a very similar style to Athletic Club Bilbao. Both teams are a joy to watch.
Unfortunately my third team, Dusseldorf, are shite.

Of course. There's "no ceiling" to their ambition. Why would plagiarism stop them?
Interesting but Maxi hasn't played in the last 6 games.
The biggest improvement in the squad isn't just money spent but getting individual players playing better, Joelington, Willock,
Almiron, Longstaff, Schar for example even Saint-Maximin is playing a different style of football. It's an insult not to give more focus on this, on the work Howe and his staff have put in. Yes we spent a lot of money but we spent very little in comparison to other teams over the last 14 years, we were playing catch up the entire time. We spent that money but the club is still in very good condition financially in comparison to other teams in the league

Brilliant video! Subscribed!
Every club in the league has spent a tonne of money. Even championship teams spend a lot of money. Their squad was awful. I'm not even Newcastle fan, but the reason they are where they are is Howe, not the money.
To say that the money Newcastle have spent since the takeover is one of the main reasons they're doing well now I think is a big disservice to both Eddie Howe and the players who were already at the club. In reality, the only players purchased by the new owners that have made a real difference are Trippier, Burn & Guimaraes. Plenty EPL teams and even Mike Ashley could have afforded them. That's not to say that the likes of Pope, Target & Isak haven't been good. They have. But it's more the players who were already there that are playing so well. And there's only one reason for that. It's not money. It's Eddie Howe. He's the best signing the owners could have made, so massive credit to them.
i dont even think he has had more than one game where his perceived 1st team have all been playing. he's elevated the whole team and got the best out of "average" players from the previous regime
Newcastle ❤
I think it's a little misleading to say we've only improved this season, from January till the end of the season we got the third most points in the league after Liverpool and Man City obviously
I don’t think there’s a team in the league that wouldn’t have improved if they spent £123 million in 2 weeks in January.
Newcastle’s saving grace last season wasn’t the money anyway, it was the fact that they were losing games when no one else around them were picking up points. Think they’d lost about 6 games in a row at one point last season and they were still only 4 points behind the team above them.
@@Jay-ob4ti How's it working out for Nottingham Forest?
It took time? A year in football with only one preseason is basically nothing when trying to imprint an identity onto a team! Plus yes a lot of money has been spent but if you look at the core of the team Eddie has transformed them we only need to look at Joelinton to see that along with Miggy! They are effectively playing like new signings making it look like we have bought an entire new team! This time last year if ASM was injured every Newcastle fan would be shitting themselves but now we have faith in a system of players instead of just our best ones! And doing this all in just a year is incredible from Eddie!
200mil is small change to a premier League club of that size that haven't spent in God knows how many years. Howe deserves respect for spending it well on players who work with the way he wants to play. A lot of managers who have never had that money before could have spunked it on a couple of big names that flop. Howe is doing a great job just like he did at Bournemouth on a lesser budget.
Excellent analysis.
It honestly baffles me that it’s even possible to make such a difference by ‘making the players fitter’. What are the other managers doing if they’re not trying to maximise how fit their athletes are?
I'd imagine that he means: 'making the players fitter' by chemical means.
Those Saudi Sugar Daddies make a world of difference.

Great analysis!
I love the intensity parts
Explained beautifully.
fun fact, half of that is from Liverpool and City, prop to them
that also means, don't press openly against both team if your team don't want conceding 2 goals
Yet Man City barely held them to a draw and Liverpool needed 3 ridiculous extra time minutes to manage an undeserved win.
To be fair, we sat back in the second half of that Liverpool match and against City after we went up 3-1. They were good decisions because our defensive form drops of a cliff after around 70 minutes and we would have been very exposed, but the fact that we gave both teams so many attacks was probably the reason why we conceded, rather than high pressing.

When I said Newcastle will be coming for the European spots this season after they drubbed Arsenal towards the end of the last, they called me a mad man. Eddie Howe is a brilliant manager. He turned memes like Joelinton, Willock and Shelvey into more than decent PL players. Another club on a similar trajectory is Leeds under Marsch. They’re linked with Gakpo, definitely a team to look out for. And I’d rather have them come for the European spots, not a big fan of sovereign wealth funds owning football clubs.

Howe has only really improved the defence so far as well.

It because we now have owners who want to succeed and are prepared to spend money on good players, building for the now and for the future, we have a Honest and wonderful manager who understands what the fans want, he and his backroom team know the type of players we need. This isn't not a magic trick it knowhow and hard work, something we haven't had since KK.
