Howe acknowledges that this style is not sustainable. The team is both scoring and conceding goals at a rate reminiscent of Keegan’s cavalier era, with their defensive record notably worse than last season. Despite their entertaining style of play, even the coaching staff might not fully endorse it. Howe’s visibly ecstatic celebration with the supporters after a recent win marked a departure from his usual restrained demeanor, indicating a sense of relief and emotion at avoiding a potential defeat.
