“In my opinion, Tottenham have altered their build-up patterns and formations significantly, and the way they play is entirely different.”Observing them play has been a pleasure; they scored freely early in the season and executed a number of intriguing rotations and movements; therefore, I concur that he has executed his philosophy admirably in a brief period of time.Newcastle could experience a season-defining week.

This week, Newcastle has a critical few contests that have the potential to determine their season. A trip to Tottenham will provide valuable insights into the team’s resiliency and capacity for recovery. Subsequently, a pivotal match against AC Milan on Wednesday will exert immense influence on the remaining games of the season.

If you win both, you may advance to the knockout stages of the Champions League, potentially surpassing Tottenham and Manchester United. However, if you lose both, you will be eliminated from Europe and fall further away from the top four.These outcomes, and Milan’s in particular, will determine whether or not the club makes a significant drive in the second half of the season and will set the tone for the January transfer window.

Regardless, Howe’s Newcastle squad will be ecstatic to face Tottenham, as they have frequently produced outstanding performances under duress and with their backs against the wall.
