Ryan Fraser was speaking about Newcastle United, as a whole, when he said Eddie Howe had 'changed everything' on Saturday, but the Scotland international could so easily have been referring to himself.
It is not exaggeration to say that Fraser had previously looked lost at Newcastle. Niggling injuries played a part but, in an effort to get into the team, the winger even asked the coaching staff to help him learn to play as a number eight last summer.
However, Fraser has since featured in all but one of Howe's 15 games in charge - starting the last 10 - and the winger's performance against Brentford on Saturday was his best display yet.
