A reason why this plan was possible is Newcastle’s smart recruitment. Schär-Botman with Trippier-Guimarães-Burn in front is a very technical 2-3 build-up shape. All five players have quality on-the-ball & have good passing ranges. It meant Howe could play around Spurs with ease. https://t.co/GHWDq8Groi
