Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

[idontgetit]

We looked really out of shape defending that

Bents playing poorly too whole midfield poor

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

I think we just need to weather this early press/energy, and Newcastle will tire later.

Just like they did against west ham

 

[Dr Know]

How the heck Barnes getting past Porro so easy

 

[GutBucket]

So bad in final third.

Defending set pieces is giving me kittens

Just a bit hectic with their press.

Agree completely. Second half especially will be key with their bench looking pretty bad and us having good options to freshen up.

Our away kit should always just be bright yellow. Nice and high vis, easy to pick each other out. But nah... gotta have that drip, bro.

I've said this before but I'm utterly convinced that players play worse when they're wearing shit kits and this is one of the shittest we have ever had. And I'm not even specifically talking about the colour!

 

[ItsBoris]

A sloppy giveaway of the ball in their third leads to minutes of pressure and several corners.

That's the problem having too many players in front of the ball - too easy to play through if we lose it.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Sonny - with the crucial block.


(Heck of a pass before that though...)

 

[ardiles&villa]

What on Earth is the set piece coach doing ?

 

[Thenewcat]

Not sure what the point of picking Bissouma is if he is completely unable to help us play through the press. Not offering himself for the ball, not doing anything

 

[cjbyid]

Newcastle are set up v well here

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Need to play faster. A lot of space behind their defence

 

[thecook]

That's a ball I've never seen Son play before

 

[neogenisis]

hahahahah took Son out.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Breaks down in the final 3rd as usual

 

[Chimbo!]

I disagree with that. They’ve been fine. They’ve given the ball away a few times but also played some great passes. I think that’s the product of the game which is bit helter skelter atm.

 

[jonnyp]

Why are we passing it behind our players... arg.

And Werner's finishing.... god damn it's bad.
