Eddie Howe's mood after Newcastle United's five-goal defeats at Man City and Spurs was no different to the day he took the Magpies to ninth place in the Premier League after beating Leicester City.
And for the record, Howe never really changed his public-facing body language when the club sat bottom of the table after 14 matches and historians wrote the club off stating no team had ever recovered from a start as bad as that. But when talking about his philosophy Howe said: "You don’t see what goes on behind the scenes. "I was always very calm – that’s my personality.
"If there’s a problem, then I’ll try to go away and fix it and work to find solutions, not really panicking or reacting adversely."
