- Newcastle United have qualified for the Champions League for the first time in 20 years. But after a mid-season wobble that saw them slip out of the top 4, Eddie Howe made a small but vital adjustment to their tactics that put them back on track.

From a Bournemouth supporter. Happy to see The Messiah Eddie Howe proving himself at the top level. Enjoy the ride, we certainly did..
Messiah is Kevin Keegan. Eddie H is King Edward of St James'
Toon fan here, saw some naysayers criticising him for the spending breaches at Bournemouth. What happened with that? Was it Howe's doing or the owners?
@@Tarks_Coady_EFC exactly, saw a comment somewhere saying that Bournemouth had some financial irregularities during their rise through the divisions. I know they did have a very wealthy owner.
So I've found that they were fined 35k for anti-doping breach, basically they made some inaccurate claims in their finances, basically sounds like the owners were putting more money in than they should. 35k fine seems ridiculous for that though so it must have been very minor. Also...not sure how involved in that Howe is so it shouldn't sour the achievements he had there.
@@Tarks_Coady_EFC ok found something else, where were you searching cos if you google 'Bournemouth fined breach' it all comes up. They were fined 7.6m for breaching FFP. They basically reported a loss that was more than twice their turnover when they won the Championship with Howe.
Not quite City levels deviation but clearly either worked out that the gamble was worth it if it got them promoted (7m fine is a drop in the ocean if you get promoted) or they just completely fudged their numbers and miscalculated how much they spent.
@@dddgtsd tbf i was searching online but i had my vpn on and showed results for wrong country.
Against Brighton Miggy actually managed a few progressive carries from deep and therefore had one of his best games, but he doesn’t do it consistently. Also think that the reason they bought Gordon which no one understands is that he can carry from deep and press high and has natural first touch. He is a ways from putting it all together but I reckon it will be another brilliant move.
Just came on here to make this exact same point. You saved me the trouble . 😅
Gordon is actually objectively bad at dribbling when you look at his stats. From what i’ve seen he works better as an inverted winger that gets involved in the intricate play (see bournmeouth (A) and west ham (H) games). I didn’t like the signing but hope he comes good for us
@@Ogaphysio Wait until Eddie has a pre-season with him
Genuinely very excited to see what Eddie can do with Gordon. Thinking about doing a video on him over the summer actually, as I don't think we've really seen anything like what he's capable of yet.
@@PaulO-mv6ku yh i’ll give him a chance. Didn’t like him for footballing reasons, i dont care about the attitude stuff personally. 100% Trust in Howe and the backroom staff
Can you please make more Newcastle United content. One of the best analysts I’ve watched on CZcams. I can’t wait to see us in the Champions League. We obviously won’t win it but I think we may surprise a few teams.! HTL
This is outstanding analysis. As a season ticket holder who also travels away a fair bit, I’ve been aware of our change in style but not really been able to explain quite what I’m seeing. This video does it perfectly. It also makes me feel a bit better about the loss of all those lovely clean sheets and shows that we have the personnel to play a style which potentially sacrifices them for ultimately better results.
Huge respect to Howe as well. To be able to see an issue developing and address it on the fly shows the effort and diligence that goes into his work.
Thanks for the video, brilliant 👏
Thanks Andrew!
CL = extra FFP = "big 6" panic = thing of beauty!
The 433 formation transforms into a 343 formation the moment Trippier has the ball. And that allows Murphy/Miggy to move much deeper into the offense.
Actually we very rarely see BDB staying back to allow that change in shape these days. If anything we're so comfortable in possession now that Eddie's happy for Bruno to just sit deep and allow Schar and Botman to push up alongside him on the off chance they (although mostly Schar) can get on the ball and be an extra man.
You think it would be the bare minimum of a Premiership manager but it's just so refreshing to have a manager who seems to genuinely think long and hard about the tactics and what he does on the training ground. Rafa played dull football (he did have limited resources) but I thought the same with him, he seemed to at least have a game plan, under Bruce though it just felt like he was throwing 11 lads out there and telling them to do their best. I'm not his biggest critic but it was clear until Jones came in, there wasn't really any philosophy or plan.
The way Howe manages should be more common but it's sadly not, there is no complacency with him. He constantly wants to improve himself and the players and I hope he stays with the club for as long as possible.
Yeah it's astonishing to me how rare this sort of philosophical flexibility is. Even the managers you think of as quite innovative tend to have really rigid ideas of how they want their teams to play. It's understandable to a degree because on the training ground it must be a *lot* easier to work on one approach and hope that gets you through, but I guess that's just how the job is changing.
@@adamcleryFFT true but I do think a lot of the top managers do a lot of tinkering that we don't see, just because they're not changing the formation, or system completely, people like Pep, Klopp, ETH, Arteta will be making minor adjustmens much like Howe. Howe has had to do them on a more obvious scale though with the lack of talent he was working with at times. I love the bloke's commitment though, top manager.
I absolutely love how you've still got your bar 1892 wristband on
If you think that's funny, wait until you find out that I'd slept in that top lol
@@adamcleryFFT we've all been there, at least you actually slept 😂
Hi from South Africa. I've been a Newcastle United fan for around 35 yrs and my dream is to watch the Toon play in SJP and Milan!
Great insight Adam. BTW miss your TF Toon Pints of Lager videos with Emil 👍
Great video! This explains our drop in the defence and our increased goalscoring.
I left a whole chunk of this out in the editing, but we're actually still defending really really well. It's more that we faced a lot of *very* wasteful teams in the early part of the season and those crazy GC numbers were never going to continue.
Great before i even watch
Beautifully well explained. Hats off to you
I think I'd only enjoy this kind of insightful analysis more, it I was watching with a coffee and pastéis de nata in Lisbon.
LISBON! What a shout
Brilliant video on the Toon Thanks for the insight ---Eddie and Co are Top Drawer-----
What a brilliant and well presented video... nice one
This is excellent, thanks for sharing
Thanks Sarah!
a great breakdown thank you!
Solid analysis 👌
Cheers Jonathan 🤝
Great content, good analysis
Can't wait to see what the new players will do to these tactics. Great video Adam. Can't wait for the next one.
Cheers Jeff!
I also noticed that once we came back from the world cup break, every team had kinda figured out our "overload the right side" attack style so Eddie switched it up a bit. We were figured out and our players had no idea what to do other than feed it to Miggy and Tripps for a cross. 2 years ago, we had one of the worst possession percentages in the league, and all of a sudden, teams were backing up for us. We had to learn what to do with the possession this year (Even though those percentages were still kind of low).
Great analysis sir!😊
Great analysis!
Thank you!
Great analysis 👍
Definitely would like to visit Hausach again. Such beautiful area.
Great analysis
Excellent
I was looking forward to your analysis of the Brighton game. Will you be doing one? It was soooo interesting and was hoping you could make sense of why Eddie seemed to do exactly what BHA wanted them to do!
I would have loved to! Just didn't have the hours in the week and I'd just covered Brighton's system a few days before. Hopefully if we keep growing the channel we'll be able to expand the team to the point we can do little breakdowns after pretty much every game. Or the interesting ones at least lol
@@adamcleryFFT ok matey, I get it:) What do you make of Eddies decision to stick with the high press? I get the idea about not trying to do something brand new in a knee jerk stylee - But to seemingly do exactly what BHA are absolutely devoted to defeating AND winning easily has me totally beaten!
@@geordiedog1749 More than happy to hold my hands up here and say I have no explanation for how that worked so well beyond 'we're just fucking mint'
@@adamcleryFFT That made me actually LoL (not figuratively). OK, here’s my ten pence….. Eddie Howe (praise be his name) uses a different form of the Gegenpress in that he uses the ‘swarm the bastards’ variant and not the ‘choke the bastards’ type. Choke type is what Citeh do i.e. they choke off the routes the defender can use to play the ball forward. The Toon under Eddie Howe (praise be his name) just close the player down.
However…….
Against BHA instead of the usual ‘swarm’ press, Eddie Howe (praise etc, etc - you get the idea) used the choker!! Brighton continually played poor, aimless, misplaced balls forward and just handed possession back to Newcastle ……. for us to score! Yay.
The fact that BHA had no plan B (first corner - 87 mins) showed how dominated they were. Even when they apparently ‘got back into the game’ they didn’t really - the anxiety was all from us (the fans). BHA actually didn’t really threaten our goal at all. One poor shot on target, I think was all.
(Much as I like their manager - I think there’s quite a lot of sunshine getting blown where sunshine isn’t usually found in his case!? He’s not a patch on Eddie Howe - pbhn).
I think it was simply the intensity, duration and speed of the press, Brighton imho are brilliant to watch as they will pass most teams cross eyed. But most teams have a bit of a "soft" press inasmuch as they kind of amble up to a get near to a Brighton player, expecting the lay off. They will do this for three four passes then slack off with a bit of "ok you can keep it". Whereas the NUFC press was intense and at pace and held until the coughed it up, they got right into player after player forcing the erroneous pass which we mopped up.
We did that constantly throughout the game denying them time and space. Once the game as such was over we slackened off a little and they then get into their rhythm, getting a goal but it was academic by then.
good analyse
Great video!
Thank you!
i believe newcastle bought isak for the versatility as the tall and mobile false-9 or the dribbling quick winger. your analysis is spot on, but i believe thats isak's best position
Time will tell! I agree though, I think he can be excellent out wide if there's space for him to get into.
Class video. I've got nothing insightful to add. Zagreb.
Zagreb 🤝
Nice breakdown bud
Splendid analysis
Cheers man
Interesting, but I think the key to the 2nd half of the season was simply Isak finally getting fully fit.
Good that Murphy is getting a bit of credit
I felt once he got him a run in the team we looked less predictable as with him and Joelinton on the other side they kept the width which allowed more space for Isak and Bruno in the middle
With Almiron he was always cutting inside and not using his right foot was really easy for defenders to deal with but its good to have options
I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Murphy and have been delighted to see him turn his career around here. As for Almiron, he's got everything in his locker to be really important for us next season, but how we use him will largely have to depend on what we're coming up against. Leicester were just showing him outside or forcing him to run into a massively congested edge of the box and there's very little he can do in that situation.
@@adamcleryFFT yeah its why Almiron looked great against Brighton as they were wide open but ineffective against a parked bus in Leicester
Can see him doing well in a champions league game where its wide open and he can press teams who will play it out from the back
Can’t wait for a pint in San Sebastián.
Class video
THANKS GORDON
Always wanted to visit salzburg.
Highly analytical Adam but not in any way drab or stogie, I really appreciate this explanation keep up the high standard of work.
Cheers man! 🤝
Very good
Dear adam,
Canny Video as always👍
I too am a bit tired & emotional after last nights game😫😩 But it was worth it😁👏👍🤘
Munich, Paris, Madrid, Bilbao, Berlin & Vienna are the places I want the toon to visit in the Champions League👍🙏✊👏😎😈
Regards,
I'd take absolutely any of those, great shouts.
Interested video. I was at the Leicester game 0-0 draw. But only needing the draw and watching this video.
It looked like NUFC reverted to the high press take to take the risk of defeat out of the game. (Injuries would need considered as well)
Any thoughts 💭💭💭 great video ❤
I was sat in the Sir John Hall for it with my mates (I've just realised I've still got my wristband on in the video) and I was howling because we were forcing Leicester to go long nearly perfectly but they just... weren't bothered about trying to push up lol. They'd all just sit on the edge of the box and let the forwards run after it. Fair play like, didn't give us any space in behind, got out with the draw, and could have won it.
Milan cos if there is one thing we know about them its that uve never seen a mackem in milan
lol
Anyone that say Eddie Howe is not a excellent football Manager r juz hating for no reason. People always say u need "ELITE" Coach to win something. Well i say every so called "Elite" Manager r NOBODY until they r given an opportunity with full support to do their job.
Love u lad;;⚫⚪⚫⚪🖖
Going to ROME for a holiday in a few months... Fingers crossed a certain team will be playing there when I'm there 😁
Italy is my shout also ✈
well, there's Lazio and possibly Roma
Good analysis on why we started leaking goals towards the end of the season
Cheers man!
As someone who watches Newcastle week in week out, I think you missed a lot of key points. We fell off after the Carabou Cup final because Bruno was on a 3 game suspension and we couldnt control the game nearly as well. As for Murphy vs. Almiron, Almiron had a serious injury and missed a few months. Murphy did well, but Almiron got his chances and could find his pre WC form. The one thing you didn't mention at all was the back line. We were able to have so much flexibility because we had Botman and Dan Burn who were unbelievable and gigantic. Dan Burn very much acted as 3rd CB to allow Trippier to get higher up, but as we went through the season and we pressed so well, he was able to push higher forward, and he's deceivingly good on the ball. Nick Pope being a top quality sweeper keeper helped a lot too, which, between him and Dan Burn and Botman winning every header, it became a lot easier to press higher up the pitch.
I stopped reading when you said Dan Burn is good on the hall. He is solid defender but horrible in progressive play. Very uncomfortable on the ball and takes too long to make a predictable pass (most often backwards). We need a significant upgrade at LB. Burn can be 3rd choice CB.
@@sunnyboy1704 “deceivingly good”. People like you think he’s a headless 6’7 donkey, but he’s very reliable. Not an attacking fullback at all but he’s nowhere near as bad on the ball as Wan Bissaka
@@yaeffersmate if u actually watched Man Utd u would know wan bissaka is very good on carrying the ball and dribbling, his passing plays are good it’s just with wan he can’t cross to save his life but even in that department he is so much better this year.
@@utdspiritf1virk758 definitely better, and I agree that he's good at carrying the ball (he used to be a winger). But almost every team they play forces United to play to him because he's a poor passer and doesn't have a good eye for a pass. I feel like because they let him have the ball he looks better. I've watched about ~10 United games this year, but maybe in the other games he's not as bad
Quality video again
Cheers man!
This guy knows his onions...
🤓
you're wrong to say ASM has had a "rotten" year. He's in the top 1% for chances created and assists per 90, he gets 0.43 assists per 90. He's incredibly effective at creating space and opportunities, he's just been injured a lot.
Well, injured and few goals.. thats a rotten year.. otoh, when he has the ball you can watch just sheer magic.. Can't wait to see him at full strength!
New Newcastle fan living in the United States trying to find out where can I order gear so I can proudly represent the Toon army any suggestions would be appreciated thank you
Clubs are shit scared of us and are shit scared of playing at St James Park. Only Anfield is like that. Case in point Leicester coming for a point in a game they needed to win. Better creativity brought into the club in the summer and we won't have to worry about deep lining defensives in the future.
Yeah this is the problem with the team being so "ahead of schedule", it's never been a priority to buy a player who can operate in those spaces against teams who have 11 being the ball. We'll need a few of them pretty soon.
Marseille, San Siri & Bernebeu please!
Not entirely convinced by this. Some great ideas but I need to see a bit more data to agree with the conclusion.
Almiron was only out because he was injured, since he's been fit he's been worked back into the team. Joelinton has started every game he's been available, so the changed line up is wrong. Many of our best recent performances were with the Joelinton/Willock interchange and Wilson or Isak coming off the bench.
The infographic on where they won the ball and the chances created was interesting but to prove the point you should've shown the difference of where they're now winning the ball and creating chances (maybe something on the difference in chance value, ie are they creating better chances now). Because it feels we were still pressing high in recent matches, Brighton being the best example.
Certainly seen miggy make more runs in the last few games though.
The run and pass to Wilson being the highlight
Capri! Do they have a team? Don’t care…I’m going anyway.
Is Emanuel Swedenborg signing for Newcastle next season?
Oh, Jacob Murphy plays like Grealish and Almiron sat. Interesting how that turned out
I love him, me
Toooooooooon!!!
Any starting 11 without Isak is not good.
Horses for courses!
Interesting.
Good analysis, but I nearly choked to death when he said "reasonable investment."
I mean in the context of both the season and the rest of the league they've not thrown it around anywhere near as much as fans of other clubs suggest. They've spent the same as Forrest and West Ham this season
Where do you think Newcastles spend (not net spend crap) puts them in the league since the takeover? Cuz i can tell you it aint 1st, 2nd or 3rd
I knew you were a geordie since you sound like Matty Renton
Smart analysis. Howe showed how tactically aware he is, and that will be essential for us next season in Europe. It's likely he'll need to add another couple of systems to his portfolio to deal with European clubs and lower league teams in the cups, as I think the Shed Wed game highlighted another weak point. An excellent season - couldn't be happier than having Howe as our manager. I think a worthy comparison of past greats is Howe is like a combination of Bobby Robson and Kevein Kegan. He has the same drive to play attacking football like Keagan and ability to elevate players above their abilities, but tempered with Bobby's ability to perform under pressure and adapt to get to the next level.

Great analysis btw
It's near the top my list as well (thanks!)
Good analysis.

Haha i dont know if its a genius change. We were kinda forced to have our press trigger lower down the field since every mid/btm team is either sitting deep or totally bypass our high press. It will be interesting to see how Howe will tune this tactic even further next season because atm i dont think they are really happy with it.
It's definitely not 'genius' in the sense that nobody else could ever have thought of it, but there's also definitely a reason why you so rarely see a team successfully adapt their approach this well over the course of a season. I think he'll 100% have to change it again next year because Leicester have already shown how to counteract it... just don't ever push out lol
I guess it’ll be more of the same but with a few technically gifted players to open up those bus walls. Add to that someone like Kim M-J and Ugarte… oh my, I’m drooling again 🥵
Brucey wouldn’t have thought of it
Have you ever seen a Mackem in MILAN??
wow, jon richardson's turned geordie.
His change:
Fuckloads of Blood money
Hahahahaha cry boy😢
Berlin
TELL ME MA ME MAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Napoli!!!
id like to go to madrid and beat both teams
Altheti in the groups and then Madrid in the final? Works for me.
Gonna be honest, after the last half of last year, and the first half of this year, there table position was 2nd. This was never a fluke, once Eddie Howe showed this team how to play football again, rebuilt their confidence, and then plugged some very obvious holes in the spine of the team, this was a team of CL footballers. Goes to show how important finding the right coach is, and how truly hopeless Ashley and Bruce were.
Actually a bit disapointed that their form fell off post WC break a bit and they were too happy with draws against lower teams, because if they believed in themselves a bit more they'd have been in the title race.
Not complaining though, now write a blank check for Neymar and Alphonso Davies and lets fucking win the whole thing next year!
In all seriousness, you should write a book on analysis if you haven’t already.
I would *love* to
Maybe they get Messi and Ramos also!
You could call it know-Howe.......

Aww, are you getting worried😂
Almiron days are numbered his asists in 4 n half years is a tally of 4 , absolutely terrible mostly because he refuses to put a ball in with his right peg, cuts bk and the chamce is lost
So the 11 goals he`s scored are worthless then?.
@@toonarmy8524 purple patch one in 4 n half years, consistent product is what's needed .
Calm down. Miggys had a great season
@@nathan113 had a decent scoring spell where he was baron before, not good enough so one footed and ignoring passes on costing us , need upgrades and he's one of them
@@magpies77 he might do it next season as well though . Im being optomistic here :)
Miggy is a running contradiction. He loves nothing more than chasing a ball in behind the defence... only to always cut back and losing the benefit of getting in behind
it's because he plays as an inside forward/inverted winger being a left footer on the right but he is way too reliant on his left foot, made me laugh when Hinchcliffe said the other day 'he can go on his left and on his right' which isn't necessarily true, like you say always cuts back on his left. Would be interesting to see him play on the left wing but his relationship with Tripps and Bruno down the right is too good.
Isak plays LW over the last few games not ASM
Yeah I mention that
Great Analysis
Thanks man!
