Martin Dubravka has hinted the Newcastle United squad is pleased to have moved on from a more direct approach under former boss Steve Bruce. The Magpies have been revitalised under Eddie Howe, and are aiming to extend their unbeaten top-flight run to 10 matches in Sunday's encounter at Chelsea.
Dubravka's form has improved in recent weeks following a difficult start to the season, with Newcastle proving to be one of the sternest Premier League defences in 2022 so far. Bolstered by five January signings, United have shown greater confidence in possession and have adopted a front-foot approach to matches.
Newcastle's number one believes everyone is currently 'enjoying' the more positive approach under Howe, while suggesting they were previously playing a long-ball tactic. He told NUFC TV: "I think you can see everyone is just enjoying their time on the pitch. We are trying to play modern football which I'm very pleased with.
