14 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Ian Cathro

10. Cathro's Coaching Philosophy Revolves Around Bombarding The Opposition With A Series Of Constant And Rapid Attacks

The philosophy that Cathro has implemented as his previous clubs is unlike anything Newcastle United supporters have seen in recent seasons. Cathro loves to repetitively and constantly send his teams forward, with wave upon wave of attacks, in an attempt to bombard the opposition goal and prevent them from settling into the game. It is an unusual philosophy, which Cathro admits is liable to change as his career progresses and he refines his style, but it will be interesting to see to what extent McClaren is influenced by his young deputy - and whether players like Rolando Aarons are utilised in such a system.
