There's a sense that something special is happening at st.
James's Park five straight wins now, for the tune under Eddie
Howe and you can start to see some of the work that's been
done on the training, ground in the confidence
that the players have in the manager chairman and it was
interesting. So how they set up first of all,
Chris world came into the team
and did a good job.
Let's remember that.
Colin Wilson was Ill, he was on the bench
and Alexander, he's at a club
record. Timing is out at the moment, not in the team.
So maximum
it was been one of the best players over recent times. He's
on the bench because of what's been happening and how well
players are playing in the team. And the thing that stood
out to meet him, when I think of
Joe Ellington was a centre-forward, he wasn't
getting goals when Eddie how came to the team. I'll Malone
was seen as
a headless chicken
runs up and down with no productivity,
you know. Damn burn was it was a centre-back who came in
and buying them and
we weren't really sure what role he had.
There's so many players who are playing a special role
and what he's Doing this football club?
Well, I think when you look at those three that you
highlighted, that's straight down to the manager, these are
players who kind of lost their way. Now, we're talking about
the most influential players on Newcastle later. It's, no, it's
no surprise that that's down
to Eddie how and when we look at
some analyses from the game at the weekend against Chelsea
just an overnight. Yes. So
this is really interesting because this is
Chelsea in possession of the ball, and we just stop that
there because
this is worked on the training. Ground is a three-man press
with it. With the front three then behind them we're seeing
Midfield players pushing forward. So we can they can't
play into Midfield. Fullbacks are engaged in here
so they can't there. And Bruno Gomes
is in the middle
of that
situation there. So as Chelsea come out there, looking to say
to Chelsea, if you
play forward, We're going to be tight. If you played backwards
in square, we're going to win the ball. They did that
a number of times and those are the kind of things and work.
That's done on the training ground.
Will take a look here. So, this is
Chelsea in possession of the ball now, particularly like
this clip to because one of the things that I really sure about
Newcastle United during the game, is this.
So, here's a really interesting
situation
where the balls going back, it's been a Midfield. He's
going back to jail. See, you watch this black line? As New
Castle, how they want to compress the game, this is how
Liverpool used to play, when they're at the very best
compressing,
the game in the opposition's half,
they do that. Well,
and then here's the press that we talked about the work.
That's done on the training ground. One player goes to
trigger, everybody else in Black and Whites ready to go.
It's organized people know what they're doing. They're making
it difficult for Chelsea to play forward
and look, what eventually happens
possessions given away
and pause just for a second run. What I love about
that? Does new cast him. It's a myth in the
For high pressure, first two teams, Liverpool Manchester know
that can all out higher press
almost for the whole game.
Everybody else has to do it in. Clever ways, you know what
Newcastle do is you and you saw it, you saw from the first
diagram, they hunt in packs. They go in pairs. They pick
their time. They have triggers. It's really, really clever. You
talk about the work that's being done in training ground.
They will drill this
every single day and it's paying off. And it's
interesting because I heard that the, our chalk this week,
and you're right in saying he said, we can't do it all
the time. We have to pick our times when we do it, but what's also
So important to me, is
it looks like those triggers are coming from the players,
not the manager right there, understanding when he went to
do those things and you see they win the ball here
and let's this last clip. Just look, just
I will look at the goal and we talk about those players who've
brought something different to this new puzzle team under
the way that Eddie House working. So here's a build-up,
just want to stop it there because this guy here,
10:00.
Is
Joanna to hmm. Forward player is coming deep. He's joined in.
He's now got the freedom
to move around the pitch now. Newcastle, good possession.
Chelsea are trying to put their press on. What do they do here
is a great situation. I just want to Mark Mark this here.
Look how many Chelsea players are in this half of the pitch,
they've almost drawn them over to that side of the pitch. So
what does that tell you how want to do now?
You want to change your plate, he wants to go to the weak
side,
where Chelsea don't have so much cover, the balls
delivered. Look who's of value
loser again,
my old friend, Joe, Ellington freedom to play to join in and
once he gets that ball, these one-time use mine to him.
Can he spin it in behind
for our friend? Miguel almaguer, on seven goals in his
last seven appearances to this game and one salmeron goes
there
will it comes in from the other side. It's a beautiful finish.
St. James comes alive. And that's what Eddie House brought
to this team is a press. This is determination and these
quality of the top end of the pitch. And that's why
