Newcastle news: Eddie Howe’s half-time message revealed

We often want to be a fly on the wall in dressing rooms at half-time to hear what managers and coaches are telling the players.

From motivational speeches to stern conversations, every manager has their own style.

On Sunday, Eddie Howe opted to give a presentation to his team that showed their drop-off this season in second-half performances.

And it seemed to work because Newcastle came flying out of the traps again with full intensity and did not let up until the final whistle.

“They were so powerful, sharp and dynamic when they did attack with the ball,” said former Premier League striker Chris Sutton on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club. “The energy they had was the way I have always viewed an Eddie Howe team.”
