Eddie Howe has expressed how he wants supporters to feel when they watch his Newcastle United side. The Toon boss has often spoken of his desire to play attacking football, giving Monday Night Football a full breakdown of his philosophy in 2020.
Bournemouth benefitted from Howe’s intuition for over a decade and Newcastle fans are now firmly behind their coach. Securing Premier League survival earned the 44-year-old a contract extension, with Toon chiefs backing him to continue his success for many years to come.
Howe has previously insisted he prepares for every game - no matter the opponent - aiming to win. That mission statement will certainly be tested when Manchester City arrive at St James’ Park on Sunday.
