Jamie Carragher has praised the tactics used by Eddie Howe last night, calling his set-up and organisation ‘excellent’.

Liverpool couldn’t have left it later to score the winner against Newcastle United last night.

A 98^th minute close range finish from Fabio Carvalho earned his side a vital three points.

Jurgen Klopp’s side had to come from behind after a debut goal for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak.

A composed Roberto Firmino finish brought Liverpool back into the game, before Carvalho’s late strike.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher took to Twitter after the match to give his view.

Carragher singled out Newcastle manager Eddie Howe for praise for his tactics last night.

In his tweet, Carragher said: “Set up & organisation excellent from Eddie Howe, but the time wasting in the game now is a joke!

“Tonight & last night in the game I saw was over the top. We all do it with 10 mins to go but not in the first half.”

Concentrating on the positives, Howe did set his side up excellently, frustrating Liverpool throughout the game.

Every Newcastle player knew their role, and were unlucky not to come away from Anfield with at least a point.

Dan Burn coped with Mohamed Salah well, building on an excellent performance against Nottingham Forest earlier this season.

Isak’s goal was emphatic, and he also had another tidy finish ruled out for a marginal offside.

The Swedish international was ‘unbelievable’ according to one BBC pundit.

His performance will encourage Newcastle fans, and Howe already looks like he knows how to get the best out of him.

Howe has been impressive since arriving at St. James’ Park.

Their recent 3-3 draw with Manchester City is still the only time the champions have dropped points this season.

Carragher is unlikely to be the only pundit that praises Howe’s tactics this season, but he’ll still be disappointed to have lost last night.
