Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

[tubbygold]

That's a little bit silly. He's brilliant but having a bad game today, while being served up absolute dross.

He’s only really good in the middle on counters. Can’t play with his back towards goal, never takes a shot from the edge.

Why do we not play abit defensive last 6 games of the year as we need the points this is embarrassing

 

[DenverSpur]

They are so much quicker than us in what they do while everything we do is so slow beginning with Vicario taking for ever to decide if he’s going to play out from the back or go long.
Their attack has caused our defense all sorts of problems whereas our attack hasn’t bothered their defense at all.

Can’t see us salvaging anything from this game. Based on recent form I don’t see Kulusevski being able to change anything.

Any time we’re faced with a 2 week break we have a shocker. We’ve been doing it for a decade (probably more but I first noticed it in AVB’s first season). Going to be a tough few weeks before the Burnley game if we don’t tighten up. We’re wide open every game at the moment.

Sigh

 

[Gb160]

Not a single shot on target and repeatedly cut apart every time Newcastle have the ball.
shocking stuff.

 

[werty]

Inverting our full backs is yet again causing more problems than solutions.

 

[spur_souljah]

To think that Newcastle line-up was laughable. I'm afraid as Southampton showed last season and Brighton this season we either are shit or just too complacent.

 

[faze_coys]

We very rarely have a good first half and it gives the opposition confidence to play and knock it around.

the total possession but zero threat tactics are getting real tiresome

 

[Chimbo!]

We’ve been shit but how has Burn not got at least one yellow for deliberately stopping a counter and then kicking one of our players in the head?

 

[purplemonkey]

People may not be ready to hear it but he probably shouldn't be playing for us after this season. Doesn't fit any of the roles in the front 3 in Anges system.

You’d think Ange would have a pretty good handle on what he needs in his system. If Son isn’t fit for purpose he doesn’t get made captain and he doesn’t contribute 24 goals in 28 PL apps. Have a word.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

shocking stuff.

Not any more...

 

[nedley]

You just cannot defend Bissouma for that half.

It was evident that he needed dropping for this game so that's on the Big Man.

Werner continuing to show me why I probably wouldn't sign him and Son showing me why signing a number 9 is one of the most important things we can do this summer.

Newcastle were ALWAYS going to be bang up for this so for the players to not show the right amount of desire is so disappointing.

The big man has to do better as well.

 

[dirtyh]

Plod plod plod. No zip or urgency or drive. Just don’t understand our mentality.

 

[ostrov]

You can't win football matches with a defence like that. Ange's tactics don't work anymore. The team is going backwards.

 

[bubble07]

There's just so many gaps even between the centre backs

Werner 2nd chance was easy. The first one he obviously should have gone with his head but that still wasn't easy

With werner and Johnson on the touch line there's so much gap in midfield

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

Defence looked clueless.

Bissouma and Bentancur awful.

Johnson and Maddison anonymous.

Son is shit as a number 9 and can’t hold the ball up.

Werner looks threatening until he actually has to be threatening.

Howe has bossed Ange - simply stopped us playing out the back. Then presses aggressively. And then counters quickly.

Its such a fucking easy way to beat us.

 

[G Ron]

Not having Sonny down the middle any more. He may as well not be playing. Another who has been so weak and profligate in possession

The kit. 100% the kit is worse.

An abomination.

And we always play shit in it!!!

 

[anydange]

Hate to say it but I think we’re finally out of the title race

 

[sidford]

Son and Maddison are in a terrible run of form . Their fuck up started that terrible minute.
Really shocking capitulation

 

[mabolsa_ritchey]

Their front 3 is so much better than our front 3.
