Newport Co v Spurs Match Thread

[dagraham]

So you’re happy with 5th. We are 6th biggest team in terms of money so finishing 5th is hardly an amazing achievement.

Have you noticed we’re the only team in the league not playing at their home ground this season?

 

[Maske2g]

because he is jumping on the Sissoko haying bandwagon when he is probably our best player so far...

just give fair criticism because this scapegoating is pissing me off

Being the best of a bad bunch is NOT a compliment!! He has been technically awful in 99% of his games for us and he plays every week!! Its a disgrace!!

 

[cider spurs]

People are watching different sources

Yeah...but weirdly the score is still the same.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Foyt h looks very lightweight and takes too many risks in possession dilly dallying

Part of that is on Wanyama and Dembele for not moving into space for Foyth to make the pass

 

[kaz Hirai]

Poch was sniffing glue when he picked that team

How so? We're playing a league 2 side, they're just about professions. It's not man united.

2 strikers, the world's best Harry Kane and llorente with his endless experience and winners medals

Dembele and sissoko to often starters for, both internationals for major countries.

Kieran 'supposedly better than walker ' trippier with his crossing ability

The team put out is more than capable to best a league 2 outfit.

If we need eriksen,Alli or lamela to actually be able to pass through a league 2 side then we might as well pack up shop .

 

[Gbspurs]

Half time sub?! My word.

 

[Guntz]

Dier pisses me off, waltzes around the pitch like he’s fucking pirlo.

 

[kr1978]

Still think we will be ok, we were shit in the first half against Wimbledon last round and were even worse against Wycombe last year

 

[Francis Gibbs]

Game screaming out for Lamela

 

[alfie103]

At least he’s chased!.... dier looks like he’s upset he’s been asked to play in this game, almost as he’s above it.

Wanyama clearly isn’t fit.

Dembele is being dembele of late.

Foyth looks scared.

And poor old kwp is being asked to play on the left when he clearly isn’t comfortable

Frankly, I am looking for more than someone who is going to chase lost causes and run around. He just cannot control the ball under pressure and is barely managing to kick it. We haven't worked hard enough to close them down and Kane and Llorente together just isn't work.

Sissoko has had decent games this season but in a game where we are expected to have more possession than the opposition, he is just what we need.

 

[dondo]

I think it's time to focus on our families. This football stuff... Why bother?

I have the same opinion about my family

 

[goughie1966]

We'll win

Right then, I'm sticking £100 on it.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

WTF does that mean?

I think he's saying that 2 or 3 out of four "stars" haven't seen an FA cup. I'm not exactly sure how any "star" has ever seen a football match as they are symbols and don't have eyes but there you go.

 

[noggen]

omg! half-time sub!

 

[nedley]

Got to move the ball much quicker and match them with effort.

Then we will win this.

 

[MyNameIsNicolaBerti]

If we don't win this the "Poch out" cretins will be out in force given that we threw away the league cup, are in 5th and aren't likely to win the CL.

I'd really rather not see that. Come on lads! No giant killing please!

 

[SEANSPURS1975]

45 minutes for those players to save the club from humiliation that will last for years.

 

[noiseboy55]

Please don't tell me son is at left back

 

[shelfmonkey]

Unfortunately, we're playing like a league 2 team at the moment.

A shit league 2 team

 

[Hazardousman]

So play our strongest team against a league 2 team? I wonder how that would've gone down before the game considering how much hate poch got for starting Kane

I am confused, we have people in here saying that Newport are playing well and that we need to be at our very best to beat them and then you are sitting here wondering why I want us to play our strongest team?

I mean, we do want to win the FA Cup right? It's a trophy and a realistic one that we can win, why wouldn't we play our strongest 11 and give ourselves the best chance of winning?
