How did Eddie Howe change Newcastle's tactics? 

Howe's work with turning Joelinton from a below average attacker to a good to very good CM was a stroke of genius.

“Chris Wood is also there” sounds about right 😅

Not a Newcastle fan but that is possibly the best football shirt ever, absolutely iconic!

Big fan of the little Eddies in the corner every time JJ says “how”

Howe has shown just how good a manager he is, I can't think of many managers who could have turned Newcatle around in the way he has, and he's done so with what we knew at Bournemouth, a very astute manager. Newcastle will be top half next season, may even be top six.

Great overview. Joelinton was a VERY happy accident after dropping back into midfield when reduced to 10 men against Norwich. Eddie deserves credit for seeing that potential and retraining Joe in that psoition.

Howe is literally the anti-Bruce

Newcastle at home were a different beast under Howe, the best turn around this season

One of the top things Howe has done is massively improved the fitness and amount of training the player were doing, Bruce had these players that clearly are hard grafters but had them training 2-3 times a week

Dan Burn is so underrated

Been a Tifo for a long time and now my boys are finally getting some coverage!!!

Howe has taken over a team that was 19th and looked destined for relegation and honestly the worst teams to one of the form teams in the league. He has revolutionised every aspect of the club, tactics, players, training, everything. Remarkable job, extremely impressive.

Newcastle fan from Mexico (Fan since the entertainers days, Goal film solidified the Toon in my heart) Great breakdown, Subbed!!

But, but.....the arm chair pundits said it was all down to the £90m. Thanks for that. Great video.

It was such a shame that some people were hating on Howe just bc he couldn’t manage to keep Bournemouth up when they’re so small as a club and his turnaround there was incredible like he was still using players from league one and people just seemed to forget or just never look past the surface level of them getting relegated when Newcastle hired him. He’s a great manager and hope he can keep evolving with the squad and hopefully get to where the new owners want

Underrated manager. Howe does he do it?

Eddie Howe's ghost appearing in the bottom left corner every now and again is oddly terrifying.

One of the things I was most impressed with, especially towards the end of the season, is Newcastle's shape and fluidity in possession. Really comfortable and always options, reminiscent of those other mega money clubs that top the big leagues.

One might say he changed howe they press

E I E I E I O, Up the Premier League we go, When we get to Europe, This is what we'll sing, We are geordies super geordies, Eddie is our king ❤️

I did not see the Joelinton shirt coming out. Loved the vid

Steve Bruce once screamed at Almiron for trying to press. Everyone can meme that we spent some money but Eddie has completely transformed the team and made Joelinton a brilliant midfielder

Throughout I was waiting for the section on big Joe Linton. Felt like everyone watching was that Simpsons meme "Say the lineee". Howe has been a breath of fresh air and the new players and rejuvenation of old has been outstanding to watch.

Excellent overview. I've watched every game this season and you could see the improvements within the first couple of weeks of Howe being there. At the end of the year it was like watching a totally different team. It's been the most exciting season as a Toon fan for years and I can't wait to see how he builds the team moving forward. Bruno has been a massive part of the turnaround, as have many others but he stands out for me in being absolutely class in everything he does.

Nice video, but i have a few issues with the generalisation of eddie’s tactics to be honest. Just a few points that I’d refine: - Eddie never actually played 4-4-2 with Newcastle, it just took the media a few games to realise that joelinton was playing as a 6 rather than a striker. This is why the lineups say 4-4-2, but in the actual game he was far more of a midfielder, playing more of a 4-5-1 in his first few difficult games. Your explanation actually shows this, he’s pressing behind Wilson, not alongside him. - Trippier was a good fit purely for his experience. Yes he scored a few free-kicks making it seem like a tactical masterclass for set-pieces, but it didn’t impact his tactics. He got injured after a few games then krafth came in and was incredible, taking on a similar role as you explained very well. Imo the transformation of joelinton was incredible, but Howe tactically revolutionised krafth’s game and it should be mentioned, since trippier hardly played. - Bruno was never brought in to sit in the pivot. He played one game there when Shelvey was injured, but Howe took his time with Bruno then slotted him in for Willock. Bruno isn’t a deep playmaker, he’s a high intensity box-to-box that prefers short intricate passes. This is why Shelvey has always taken the pivot role. Even at Lyon he was an attack minded dm, leaving caqueret/mendes to sit deeper.

Not only is this testament to howes quality it is also a reflection of how bad bruce is

the minor flourish at 3:19 is hilarious and magestic, whoever edited this deserves credit

I think the most impressive thing about the signing is that none of them were real super stars. Bruno Is fantastic but bearly played till mid march and trippier was amazing straight out the gate but got injured and only played something like 6 games. Target was great and I hope me sign him permanently and big dan burn is a wall but neither are players most teams couldn’t sign. Chris wood was alright too

"joelinton was a 10 or a 10 and a half" - jj bullard

I like how he’s come in and focused on developing current players, most managers coming into a struggling team with infinite money would completely change the whole squad in January, Howe has made smart signings and is the perfect man to push this Newcastle teams to new heights

Top analysis. Love the channel. Keep it up lads!

Thank you for this! I was hoping you would do it 🙏🏼

Great video mate, earned a sub from me! Nice touch cutting back to yourself wearing the Joelinton shirt, didn’t see it coming at all. 😂

Been waiting months for this video thanks guys at tifo!

Great analysis. The one thing I would add is to also emphasise is how much Guimaraes wins the ball from the opposition in the defensive and middle third. Not only does he win ball back from tackles and interceptions, once he’s won it, he keeps it and either distributes to another teammate or draws a foul. Not just a creative playmaker as JJ says but also arriving into the attacking box (hence the goals). All the January signings have improved the side, but for me Guimaraes is different class. Excited for next season for the first time in nearly two decades!!

The "Howe"s were a nice touch. Keep Tifoing, Tifo.

"Chris Wood is also there...." Absolutely savage.

I have always rated him high, he along with Graham Potter are two top managers from England. I suggested him as a permanent manager after Mourinho left Manchester United especially if we couldn’t get Mauricio Pochettino but got mocked by my fellow Manchester United supporters. I’m curious to see how his team will perform in Europe. I hope he stays at Newcastle United for at least 5 years.

Brilliant video. Smart, funny, and good analysis. Nicely done!

Decent. Thought you was a bit unfair on Krafth. Although because of injury, he's played more than Trippier under Howe and become known as Krafthu.

Their set pieces number is unfairly skewed as they played Everton twice under Howe so probably scored half of those 13 against us.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 brilliant Curved runs

When you were talking about PPDA it made me think I'd be interested in a video on this and other similar metrics (PP Offensive A for example) because I don't think I fully get what this means. I have a rough idea but wouldn't be able to explain it to someone else!

That was good analysis of NUFC. Thank you

loved this, you should have went through two or three realistic players that you'd suggest that would compliment the rest of the team.

Great video although you could do more research into the squad when Howe was appointed. After January Hayden, Clark and Lewis were all left out of the squad

Fantastic Analysis 👏🏼 and a great shirt 👕 haha

This man is seriously good. A good transfer window will help Newcastle to be Top4 contender.

Nice analysis 👌

Great vid. even better shirt

It would be interesting to know the average speed of the players at the end of this season compared to the start. When Newcastle get the ball the pace of the game doubles now.

great analysis

Great video 👍

Incredible video!

Nu& fan here. I would love to hear TIFo thoughts on NUFC back 5 pope trippier botman burn target. Schar also able to slot in if a right footed is preferred to burn or botman. 2 left footers in burn and botman… I can’t think of a perm Xbox pairing of 2 left footers, any issues with that?

I said in your previous videos how you had it spot on you called it. You said in January burn Bruno wood etc would improve us and it did. Chuffed to see Joelinton praise has there ever been a more dramatic turn around. I hope he is soon recognised as a CM not CF on fifa and pro evo etc lol

You really have been real busy JJ. Nice video and take care.

Nice touch with Eddie popping up bottom left every time the word 'how' was mentioned

That Newcastle Brown Ale kit is a classic

Does anybody know what app/program they use for this formation viewing stuff?

This video is fantastic.

Love you JJ

Tifo IRL - Come for the in-depth analysis, stay for the Joelinton Hawaiian shirt

They didn't have to do that at 3:18, but I'm glad they did

Could you do an update on what’s changed in recent weeks ?

JJ takes his shirt game to the next level

Bruno came in for Willock towards the end of the season. Shelvey playing the 6 until he picked a knock late in the season.

Funny how few videos there are talking about Bruce's technique and tactics, instead he is mentioned on the videos discussing his replacement and how it was improved. Also note - Rafa had videos made about him.

Can you share us the tool that you are using here

i love jj bull

I fully expected anyone half competent to make a difference because is honestly that bad. But the transformation has exceeded all expectations

Really appreciate you wearing Big Jo's Hawaiian shirt, JJ

Great analysis Tifo. Although I don’t see Newcastle making top 8 next season will need a deep squad better quality defenders and attackers. Especially with the 5 sub rule coming in.

Makes me fear Bruce as a west brom fan

They made some really good signings Im shocked they let target go

give him the bloody england job already, with the players we have we don't need a guardiola or a zidane, we just need someone who's baseline competent and creative and we'll be winning silverware

some good ideas here for Brucey..

remember when loads of people doubting him for the job

3:19 12:09 I see you editor 😉

Can you lot do a video about Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s Rangers since he’s came in and took the team to a European final

Ghost of Eddie Howe pops up in the bottom left around 2:02

YES

Where can I get this gorgeous shirt?

“Chris Wood is also there”… damn 😂

Where does one buy the Joelinton Hawaiian shirt???

That little howe that keeps popping up is quite unnerving

Yet Klopp gets manager of the season for winning two 0-0 cup finals on penalties 🙄

Are other Joelinton Hawaiian shirts available?

Where do I get my hands on the Goalinton Hawaiian shirt?! 🇧🇷🌴

Don't show this video to Bruce's mates in the media, their heads would explode.

We are waiting for sensible transfer for Newcastle

Please change your Eddie graphic, he doesn’t have grey hair, he has beautiful golden locks. And a halo. Other than that, 10/10 video

It took me until 14:46 to notice all the joelintons on his shirt 😂 who made that?!?

Transfers matter yes and the closer to the top you get the more this is true, but getting players to play to their potential is also very important, and the importance of this I think is generally under appreciated by the majority of fans and pundits, people have a very fixed mindset about the ability of players that tends not to be refelctive of the reality of modern high quality coaching methods. Hard work from players in training is important but you have to use that hard work in the right way to get good outcomes, and Howe seems to really understand this and beyond that seems capable of communicating it to the players playing under him.

JJ in that jersey looks like an NBA ref 😂

"We can look at Howe this works." 3:18

Howe should be given a big club. He's more than capable.

He just put on a shirt of Joelinton! Out of nowhere

nice

Obviously Steve Bruce had no idea of what he had or what to do with it . . Bruce couldn't wait to get away back to Manchester with his mates .well these lads are no fools they could see through him . They could see his tactics were crap and he was dragging the team down ..
