Please read our Please read ourOf all the takes I have seen after Newcastle 2 Tottenham 1, the very strangest must be the view of some, that Eddie Howe got it wrong on the day.That Eddie Howe supposedly picked the wrong players and/or tactics and set-up of his team.Tottenham dominated the possession stats, a massive 66%, two thirds of the possession away from home,
That match a 4-0 win for Newcastle United and interesting to compare the stats that day, with the ones on Sunday:You may find it a ‘little’ surprising to discover that dominating play four and a half months ago with 73% possession were… Tottenham! Though worth pointing out that the winning goal was exactly that, a Tottenham very high defending line on the halfway line, undone by a moment of Joelinton brilliance, with Murphy and Isak doing the rest.
The 22 minutes were particularly painful between Tottenham’s equaliser and Newcastle’s winner, however, if Eddie Howe had changed it during that time and had his players abandoning that disciplined defensive plan and instead had them chasing all over the pitch trying to hunt the Spurs players down, then I am pretty sure Newcastle would have lost.
