January signing makes “crazy” Eddie Howe admission during appearance on BBC Radio 5 Live

Newcastle United defender Dan Burn has been discussing Eddie Howe’s mesmerising methods on the training ground during an appearance on BBC Radio 5Live last night.

The Geordie giant has revealed that, of late, they NEVER do the same training session twice, saying it’s “crazy” how many different drills the 44-year-old has up his sleeve.

This must make training fresh and exciting for the squad, although Burn admits that the boss demands a high level of intensity from his players “every single day” – stating that sessions are longer and even more taxing than the ones he was used to at Brighton under Graham Potter.

Interestingly, he claims there are a lot of similarities between Howe and Potter – who replaced Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea last week – with many believing they are two of the best and most underrated young managers in the country.

Here’s what Burn told BBC Radio 5Live last night about Howe’s ever-changing approach to training:

“I knew it was going to be intense. There are a lot of similarities between Graham Potter and Howe with the way they go about preparing for games. There are differences as well.

“With Eddie now, the way that we play demands a certain level of intensity, and it comes every single day.

The sessions are a lot longer than what I was used to and I took a little while to get used to.

“What I find crazy about the gaffer’s training at the minute is that we never really seem to do the same session twice.

He’s got so many sessions saved, and every single day it’s something completely new.”
