As the club gears up for the Carabao Cup quarter-final match against Fulham, Howe emphasizes the significance of maintaining a positive atmosphere.
Howe’s Approach to Team Management
Howe is aware of the emotional turmoil that can accompany football. He aims to provide steadiness to his players, ensuring that relationships within the club remain intact. “Part of my job is to remain very level,” Howe stated. He firmly believes that emotion can lead to disruptions if not managed effectively.
Fostering a Constructive Environment
The Newcastle boss highlighted the need for honesty and openness among players and coaching staff. By creating a foundation of trust, Howe hopes to cultivate a culture that promotes both growth and accountability.

Howe acknowledged that consistency in performance has been a hurdle this season. Yet, he holds simple expectations for his players: to give their all during matches. His philosophy is clear; he wants his squad to approach games with a full commitment to achieving positive outcomes.
High Expectations from Players
“It’s a horrible feeling when players don’t give everything,” Howe confessed. He asserts that the drive to perform at the highest level must be a shared commitment. Consequently, his aim is to reignite that collective effort within the squad.
