That was probably the best tactical display of the year.

Trust Eddie howe because he's a tactical genius.
Anyone who said he should be sacked is a moron.
long live king eddie !

[tyreselannister]

3-4-3 is a very underrated formation, unbeatable when done right. Juve and Conte's Chelsea come to mind

[dragontxz]

Eddies Newcastle is actually such an underated team. They are so good on the counter attack and strong and disciplined at the back. They play beautiful football

[manniking]

...and, folks, that's how Newcastle were able to whoop Spurs like a government mule. 😢

At the end of the day the energy the players gave is the most important factor

As a city fan i hope pep is noting this, we never beat them never mind at their own stadium.

Spurs fans when Ange plays suicide ball again and loses 4:0 but he said "Mate" in the press conference after:

3-4-3 is one of my favourite formations, very flexible but you need great wingers that can go up and down the pitch.

[Mudstick]

David Moyes figured this out in August.

[the-sph]

Newcastle once again beat Spurs!
(technically twice if you count the friendly penalty win)

[JJJackson]

It's been a weird season for us spurs fans, speaking for myself I was expecting and would've been happy with 8th, but after the great start to the season we started to believe top 3 was set in stone. Now though, I think we're all hoping for a good Europa league run, because we definitely aren't ready for CL competition. A proven CB ie Hincapie & an out and out striker ie J. David, Abraham or Ali Dia are desperately needed.

West spam, villa, wolves, brighton, fulham, rich city, fulham b team. But it was Newcastle that figured it out in April

[spinyslasher]

Roberto De Zerbi figured this out back in December.

Most coaches are tactically adept, they have reached that level through years of work, what often lacks is resources, do they always have enough tools to come up with a starting 11 to fulfill the plan.

[shortyshawty]

It is a very Aussie style to play central passes and hold possession trying to look for winger opportunities.
Watch our national team or a couple A-League games and you’ll see it there too.

I walked past him at Liverpool street this week! I pointed at him, looked shocked and waved.... he waved back too! 😅😂😊

Lovely chap ❤

[Cantona-]

Wow i learnt so much about this game! Thanks JJ Bull! 🐂

[andrewburton]

Easy to say that after the result but they did get absolutely battered the second half

[MrMeWilko]

If you look at the history, Newcastle usually play well against spurs
