Match Threads Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United Match Thread

[anydange]

We really don’t look like we’ve had 70% possession and 84% pass accuracy.

Can't believe that PA is true. Verts and Vic gave the ball away constantly.

 

[hutchiniho]

Pooh!

Yessss! Get him signed up. Can't be worse than Son and Davies right now.

 

[Cravenspurs]

Lamela for Sissoko
Maura for Trippier


Sanchez Jan Davies
Moura Wanyama Son
Lamela Alli Eriksen
Kane

Then if nothing happens Llorente for Kane.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Never known a player like son.
For half a season he looks as good as anyone in the world, and the other half he can't even control a football let alone be a goal threat.

We started brightly but the game has settled into the usual pattern of the last 6 weeks or so, all possession with slow predictable football that's ridiculously easy to defend while being open to a sucker punch

And that midfield duo is terrible. Id Just play Dele in there , he's doing nowt up top along with Kane anyway.

 

[felmani26]

If Sissoko is ever the answer then i'd love to know the question....

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Sissoko cant even pass it 5 yards without it bobbling all over the place.

 

[jurgen]

Forget the midfield, Son, Alli and Kane have been dreadful.

You could have Modric and Kroos centre, no point if you have the terrible trio as forwards.

When they're not playing well, you really want someone in the midfield to at least keep supplying them.. Wanyama can actually be quite creative at times, but no way should he be the 'playmaker' in a midfield two...

 

[spursfan77]

Terrible so far

 

[ajspurs]

Son and Alli can easily be the ones to come off. This is just not the type of game for Alli at all and Son has fallen into his customary form drop after a purple patch.

 

[sparx100]

That was atrocious. One paced, slow in centre midfield. Sissoko doesn't know what to do with it. Neither him or Wanyama are good with it at their feet. Need to take Sissoko off and put on Lamela with Eriksen dropping in alongside Wanyama. Son has been turd so get Moura on to at least inject some pace into the game.

SPURSY.

 

[Streetspur77]

Lucas, Lamela, Rose for Davies, Sissoko, and either Kane or Dele. And NOW! Not fucking the 80th minute as usual. This is fucking tragic.

Make all three changes at half time?

 

[Phomesy]

What is it about Newcastle that, whatever team, whatever era, they muscle us off the ball with ease?

 

[StevePil]

This is just awful stuff, what has happened to our team..... this is like the end of 2016 so clearly we have not learnt...

As for Poch, seriously - Sissoko and Wanyama together - he is really learning isn't he after how well that worked out at Brighton

This is a massive half time for Poch, it really is.

I don't understand what has happened since SB, as the team seem to be so devoid of confidence and after that win at SB.... why?!

 

[nedley]

So what is Dier's illness?

 

[Bulletspur]

Take off Sissoko Son and Kane, drop Eriksen deeper and bring on Toby Lamela and Moura. Back 3 with Davies and Trippier pushing up to support Dele Lamela and Moura. Yes play without recognised striker but it cannot be any worse than the swill being served so far

 

[shelfmonkey]

Poch need to fix this at HT. If he cant . He should be out of the door

Looks like he's gonna be on his bike anyway!

 

[homer hotspur]

This will act as a boost for Chelsea to come out all guns after HT

 

[Blackrat1299]

Have we kicked off yet?

 

[thinktank]

We really don’t look like we’ve had 70% possession and 84% pass accuracy.

Side, to side, to side, to side, to side, to side....

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

Our worst half of the season arguably. Newcastle will grab a late winner?
