"We want to entertain" - Eddie Howe's Newcastle United vow on tactics that fans will love

Eddie Howe says he won't change the way he plays as Newcastle United enter the Premier League's run-in period.

It was Kevin Keegan who has been asked many times why he didn't go into defensive mode during Newcastle's huge 12-point lead in the 1995/96 season. Howe now finds himself being asked similar questions as he looks to maintain a top four position and qualify for the Champions League next term.

Keegan's stock answer for the question about changing tactics has always been: "What if we'd changed it and still lost the title?" In short, he wanted to win it with the successful formula that got the club to the upper echelons of the Premier League.
