Match Threads Newcastle vs Tottenham Hotspur - Match Thread

Expecting "Kane doesn't look fit" by one of you idiots within the first 3 minutes.

Saw him leaving the team bus right now. Didn't look fit. Son should've started.

Dier and sissoko but we didn't need a new cm.

 

[joelstinton14]

Surprisingly strong team ?

 

[StylusX]

Would have like Toby in for sissoko and Ericksen playing along side dier. Though saying that wouldn't bet against sissoko scoring against his former club.

 

[Black]

Very strong team

 

[CowInAComa]

Sissoko and Aurier in the same side. The world cup has alot to answer for. Still last time we'll ever see them surely.

Lets give them a nice send-off despite any open goal misses/penalties conceded.

 

[Danners9]

Strong team.

No idea how good Newcastle are.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

On bench.

A more cautionary starting xi- but having Son as an option to bring on later is good.
Glad Moura is starting

 

[SugarRay]

Some further along than others at this stage

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Isn’t he way with South Korea?

Not yet

 

[Blackrat1299]

Is Trip injured or just having a longer recovery period?

 

[whitestreak]

Great to see Toby in squad
we should have enough to beat this lot

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Sissoko Dier midfield. Bye bye creativity

 

[mark87]

Thought it would have made sense to play son instead of Alli seeing as he's leaving after this game.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

I guess it’s a 4231 with Sissoko in the double pivot with Dier

 

[Shadydan]

Don't know why people thought Kane wouldn't start lol

 

[chrissivad]

Where is Trip? Did I miss anything?

Probably nothing, and along with Rose given a little extra time off.
Davies, Aurier and KWP have had the Summer to rest and get back to fitness, Rose and Tripper havent had as much time.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Is Trip injured or just having a longer recovery period?

He was wrecked after the WC, probably needs more recovery time

 

[SugarRay]

I can’t lie, Dier & Sissoko in midfield worries me a lot

Worries a fair few of us I imagine!
